Chapter 12

‡

Dawn and Jackson arrived at the FBI headquarters in Hartford just after eight AM. A soft tap at their door at seven prompted them to get dressed and go quickly down to a back entrance where a black SUV with tinted windows waited for them. It brought them to the unobtrusive underground garage that was shared by the FBI and a local shopping mall.

The two agents that drove the vehicle accompanied them to the elevator, and Dawn watched as the man pushed the button for the top floor of the twelve-floor building marked inconspicuously as executive suites.

Holding Jack’s hand, Dawn went with him ahead of the other two agents. It was obvious he worked here and knew his way around the building. He went through the main doors, passed the receptionist who greeted him by name, and then down a long corridor, stopping halfway when he reached the smoky glass door that was labeled Neal Schusterman, Assistant Special Agent in Charge, FBI. He tapped softly on the door and opened it the moment he heard the disembodied voice call from the other side. “Come in, Gable.”

The first thing Dawn noticed was the great view of the city, and the second thing she noticed was her two brothers sitting across from an older man at a rather large shiny glass desk. She felt her jaw drop. She had not expected them to be at this meeting and knew she would have a lot of explaining to do.

Jack hadn’t told her that both Jonathan and Joseph were aware of the investigation going on at the casino. She knew Tom was aware of it and should have expected her brothers and mother to be aware of it, but still seeing them there made her stomach sink. By their angry expressions, they had just been informed of her knowledge of the investigation and most likely her involvement with Jack. Inside, she died a little. This was not going to be an easy day. Not at all.

“What the hell were you thinking, Dawn?” Jonathan stated, standing up to face the man who had gotten Dawn tangled up in a dangerous mess. Joseph joined him.

Two large and intimidating Native American men, one the size of a body builder with massive arms crossed over his chest, faced Jack. He could not begrudge them their rightfully deserved anger. He hoped someday these two brothers could forgive his lapse in judgment.

“I didn’t…”

Jack took over. He would not let Dawn make excuses for him. “This isn’t her fault. We met. We had a connection. I love her and will do anything in my power to protect her.” He admitted his love for her without flinching. He wouldn’t hide from his mistakes.

“Love her! You put her in danger.” Joseph flung with biting sarcasm.

“And for that, I will always be incredibly sorry. I plan on being in her life, so I hope someday you will forgive me.” He held out his hand, but both brothers barely glanced at it.

Joseph turned around in disgust, sweeping his hands through his hair before he faced them again.
