Kevyn rubbed her eyes and blinked, certain that strings of text were permanently imprinted on her vision.

She’d finished writing her report from the interrogation and arrest of Noelle Orson. Not a fun task on a good day, but an especially arduous one when three people were still missing and Noelle Orson had massively wasted their time.

If any of their victims died while they’d wasted time chasing Noelle’s false leads, that blood would be on Orson’s head.

Not that she cared. No, she was too worried about losing daddy’s precious money to be concerned about the lives of three other people.

Okay, that wasn’t fair. Even if it felt slightly true.

She checked the time and yawned. How had it gotten to be after six already?

Dak had been gone by the time Noelle’s lawyer had shown up and she and Sid had finished interrogating Noelle. It seemed unlikely he’d gone home early, but she wasn’t sure where he’d gone.

The rest of the team had probably left already.

She shut down her computer and gathered her belongings.

Movement at the door drew her eyes upward.

Caldwell? What was he doing here?

Maybe he’d found Mitch. Maybe had him in custody at this moment.

Honestly, she wasn’t sure how she felt about that.

Things had been so crazy that she hadn’t given the matter another thought. Until now.

“Agent Taylor.” Caldwell nodded gravely. “Thought you’d want to know that we haven’t been able to locate your father.”

She bit back the urge to correct him. Mitch Taylor was not her father, not really.

Interesting that he’d made a trip down here to tell her that in person. “All right. Thanks.”

“His neighbor said she hasn’t seen him in a few days, but that she did see another man coming and going from his place. She thought it was suspicious, but the man had a key.”

“Okay.” What did he want from her?

“You still haven’t spoken to him?”

Was he asking not-so-subtly if she’d tipped him off?

“No. Not since the coffee shop.” His failure to show up that evening still stung, even though she knew she shouldn’t be surprised.

“We’re trying to track down an office, but since he’s freelance and doesn’t appear to rent office space, that’s proving a little tricky.”

She shrugged. “I’ve told you everything I know.”

“I’m sure you have.” While his tone was agreeable, his eyes gave him away. He was sure of no such thing.

Whatever. The truth would come out eventually.

All she needed to do was keep her nose clean until then.

And after. This was by far the best team she’d been a part of and she had no desire to lose that. Or to have a termination on her employment record, much less face potential criminal charges if they determined she’d aided in breaking any laws.

“Well. I’ll let you get going. Just wanted to give you an update.”

And try to read her. Too bad for him, reading people was her specialty. “I appreciate that.”

Caldwell left the office as abruptly as he’d entered. His voice drifted down the hall, but the words were too faint for her to decipher.
