Chapter 9

Mateo Ricci

“What the fuck was she thinking?” I mutter under my breath as I peer through the open window of the small house. The modest wooden structure is deceptively charming with its white-framed windows and deliberately distressed blue paintwork. It must be worth a small fortune, with its beachfront location. And Andy Carter is clearly visible through the window that she hasn’t bothered to close the blinds to.

She shouldn’t be visible. She should be shut away and out of sight. Because I have no doubt that she’s running from something. Or, more likely, someone. Her bizarre trek across the state had all the signs of someone on the run. Someone unskilled – she’d practically left a trail a mile wide. After Dario had asked me to find her, it had barely taken minutes to locate the diner she’d called Nikki from.

It had taken a little work to convince the owner to tell me that Andy had given her a Ferrari in exchange for her old Toyota.

A goddamn Ferrari!

From there, I’d pulled some favors with my old Bureau connections to lock down footage of the truck passing various traffic points. Footage that had led all the way to a small coastal village. Dario’s jet – with me in it – touched down on a small private landing strip outside Greenport Village a couple of hours ago, and I’d been met by a man who’d given me the keys to a dark sedan. Andy’s “traded” pickup had been photographed by a security camera, parked outside a small letting agency in town. I’d easily convinced the owner that I was Andy’s boyfriend, in town to surprise her. It’s almost frightening how easily people will give up confidential information for all the wrong reasons.

Now I’m sitting across the road, watching as she stares silently into a roaring fire. It’s a cool evening, and the warm glow touches her face, kissing it with red that matches the rich hue of her hair. She’s as beautiful as I remember.

Dammit.

I heave a sigh as I pull my wayward thoughts back to the job at hand. I climb out of the car and make my way across the street. My sense of determination is mixed with annoyance. I have half a mind to rattle her teeth when I confront her. How long did she think she’d remain undiscovered if she continued like this?

I make my way up the front stairs and over the porch that leads to the door. The creak of my footsteps has her leaping to her feet, and I see her race across the room, quickly drawing drapes as she moves.

Damn fool woman.

Doesn’t she know it’s too late for that now?

The room remains silent when I knock sharply on the front door. Though I can hear her hoarse breathing on the other side of the pristine white panels.

“Andy, open up,” I say firmly. There’s no answer, but I can still hear faint rustling within. A soft whiff of fragrance swirls to meet me. A scent that reminds me of sunshine and roses.
