Chapter 15

Terri

She didn’t stay in the pool long. The water wasn’t as warm as she’d hoped, and the impending phone call had her feeling antsy. Padding upstairs, she entered the guest bedroom after spotting no signs of Logan and took a shower.

Though she’d felt one hundred percent confident about the plan when she hatched it, ever since then doubt had slowly but steadily crept in. There was the chance that Charlie would insist on not only going after Bryce and the trafficking ring, but Logan as well.

She hadn’t shared this fear with Logan, of course. Hopefully, it was nothing more than that. A simple, irrational worry.

Fresh from the shower, she rifled through her backpack and found a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt. She’d packed as light as possible for her trip. It would have been nice to stop by her apartment and get some things, but there came a certain risk with that.

Maybe she could order some things online and have them shipped to Logan’s house. Which brought to mind her bank accounts. She’d called and canceled her stolen cards, and it was in doing so that she’d found out exactly how little money she had left.

Traveling around the world wasn’t cheap. Not even when done as frugally as possible. She’d need to start thinking about a job soon. Trouble was, she had no idea what she wanted to do.

Paralegal work had been fulfilling sometimes, but it had mostly been boring. The idea of going back to it made her feel sick.

Right as she finished dabbing on some light makeup, her phone rang. Picking it up, she sat cross legged on the bed.

“Hey,” she answered.

“Hey.” Charlie sounded a little breathless, like he’d been rushing down the street or up a flight of stairs. Either seemed likely with him.

“Can we meet in person today? There’s something really important I need to tell you about.”

He was quiet for a long moment. “Of course. Everything okay?”

“Yes. How about that coffee shop near that home decor store? You know where we got my end tables?”

“Sure. How soon can you be there?”

“Um.” She bit her lip. “I think thirty minutes.”

Maybe. She hadn’t really paid attention when Logan had brought her to his house the night before.

“See you then.”

They hung up, and it occurred to her she had no way of getting into town. Her car still sat in a month-to-month parking garage.

“Logan?” she called, leaving the room.

It took a few minutes, but she finally found him downstairs, in a room near the back of the house that had to be his office. He sat at an expensive-looking desk, typing on a computer, built-in bookshelves behind him.

“Hey,” he said, in one of those friendly, almost off-putting moments that she’d come to expect at random times.

“Hi.” She hovered in the doorway, feeling weird about entering his personal space without being invited. “I talked to Charlie, and we’re meeting at a coffee shop in thirty minutes, but I don’t have any way of getting there.”

“Right.” He turned his gaze upward, thinking.
