Chapter 6

FOSTER had been prattling at him for close to ten minutes. Logan only needed to work three hours today before he could head over to Caleb’s, but the shift seemed endless. The redhead’s attempt at flirting wasn’t making it go by any faster. He couldn’t help wondering what game she was playing. On the surface, a guy with a record seemed like the right person to approach if she really did need new recruits. If Logan thought about ratting her out, she could get him fired or make a complaint to Dabb. The best thing to do was to avoid pissing her off, but he lacked patience today.

He’d tried calling Caleb several times over the weekend, getting a busy signal every time. He remembered their first meeting when Caleb said he sometimes had trouble with the phone when upset. Considering their last phone call, it wasn’t surprising he’d disabled the phone. That didn’t mean Logan wasn’t going to give him shit about it. What if there was an emergency? Caleb could screen his calls instead of taking the phone off the hook.

“You haven’t heard a word I’ve said,” Foster said, dragging Logan back to the conversation.

Hoping to avoid antagonizing her, Logan said, “Sorry, I’ve got a lot on my mind and I’ve got work to do before I head out.”

“Right,” she said, her face twisted in an ugly smirk. “Today’s the day you play nursemaid to the boss’s nephew. Do you get a thrill out of sponge-bathing the little freak?”

Logan gritted his teeth. “He ain’t no freak.”

“Temper, temper,” she said, running a finger down his chest. “You’ll be nice to me, if you know what’s good for you.”

“Fuck off, sweetheart,” Logan said, moving past her and pulling out his cell phone. His gut churned when once again he got a busy signal. Why the fuck isn’t he answering? He hit the End button on the phone and headed for the exit.

Two steps out of the warehouse, the phone rang and Logan nearly dropped it. He looked at the display before answering. “Michael,” he said, his voice sounding frazzled to his own ears.

“Are you okay?”

Hell, no. “I need to check on Caleb. He’s not answering the phone.”

“Sorry to call like this. I found out some info on your supervisor I thought you should know. Do you want to call me back later?”

Whatever Michael had discovered, it had to be big. He’d found the info fast. “Go ahead and tell me what you found out.” It’ll keep me from going crazy on the ride over.

“The file wasn’t officially closed. I’m guessing the investigators hoped Klass would change his mind about going forward with an investigation.”

A cab pulled to the curb in front of Logan and stopped. He climbed in the backseat and barked the address to the cabbie. Leaning back against the squeaky vinyl upholstery, he asked, “What were you able to find out?”

“In forensic accounting, there are red flags that we look for when trying to ferret out employee theft and fraud.
