GABE TOUCHED BASE WITH HIS men, making the rounds through the public areas, looking for anyone or anything that felt off. The lobby had cleared out but the crowd in the bar had grown. He gave the room a cursory glance as he headed back to the party. By the time he finally opened the dining room door, he could tell things were starting to wind down. Half the seats were empty and there was no sign of the pretty blonde and the tech guy who’d been into her.

The waitstaff had cleared the tables down to the white tablecloths and without a band, there wasn’t any reason for people to hang around. He’d bet at least some of the pickup in the bar could be attributed to the Southern Mark/Edison crowd. He sent a quick message to his men, moving over half of them from the main floor to the bar. It was exactly the kind of place the woman originally made contact with Blake. It made sense for her to seek out the familiar.

By now, she had to assume they had security in place. She wasn’t stupid—obsessed maybe but not stupid. She couldn’t have gotten away with stalking Blake for this long if she was. Making connections with someone on the periphery who worked for Southern Mark would likely get her closer to Blake faster than trying to somehow evade security and go after him directly. That was, if she showed up at all. Andrews hadn’t contacted him again, which either meant his photo wasn’t as good as he thought it was or the cameras hadn’t seen the woman. His money was on the smart ass.

Speaking of which, he glanced over at the table to see the Southerlands and the Edisons laughing at something Liam was saying. Berlin was grinning at Liam like he’d been hired for the night’s entertainment. His old friend was a lot of things, but naturally charming and personable had never been on the short list.

“Sorry that took so long.” He gave Liam’s shoulder a harder than necessary squeeze and the man had the good sense to get his ass out of Gabe’s seat.

“Don’t worry about it,” said Mr. Edison. “Liam was telling us stories about his time in Afghanistan.”

“I don’t normally think of war stories as funny,” Gabe said, taking in the smiles on the group’s faces.

“I’m not usually the one telling them,” said Liam. He winked at Eva, and she hit him with a smile that offered an abundance of things. “It was a pleasure to meet you all. I hope we’ll see you again soon.”

Liam tipped his head in a makeshift bow and left, not bothering to stop at the almost empty table he’d started at. Blake knew his friend would stay close, but he was more than ready for him to leave Berlin’s side.

“We should head out too. Early flight in the morning,” said Mr. Edison, taking his wife’s hand.

“I hope we’ll see more of you very soon. I’ve enjoyed having a chance to meet your family.
