Chapter 29

Sara slept in later than she expected. It was approaching noon when she dragged herself out of bed.

“Morning, sleepy head.” Derry was moving about in the kitchen.

“Muuuh.” She wasn’t a morning person, never had been.

A bag of muffins sat on the table close to Derry’s laptop. “Those look good.” Sara reached for them. “Can I have one?”

“I bought them to share. Want some juice to go with it?”

He was so perky. What was wrong with him?

“Coffee?”

“Sure.”

Derry turned toward the coffeemaker as Sara plopped down in front of her computer. The operating system was installed, and the computer was waiting for her to answer a few dozen questions.

She picked at the muffin as she worked her way through the final steps. The coffee helped. Derry sat at the other end of the table working on his computer. He couldn’t view her monitor from where he sat. Once the setup was complete, she logged into the offsite backup location where she’d stored all her programs.

She started the download as she nibbled some more on her muffin. Derry grumbled about his lost data.

“You should’ve backed it up.” She finished her first cup of coffee and rose to get a second.

“Yeah, I know. I hear that all the time.”

“Well, maybe you should have listened. You know, it’s easy to do.”

Derry raised his eyebrows as he watched her moving back to her seat. “For you, maybe.”

He seemed so likeable. Was he really like this, or was it just an act? Sara scanned the download’s progress. Derry’s Internet connection was slow. It would take some time to complete. Getting up again, she went around to his side of the table and pulled a chair up next to his.

“You going to set up my computer for me?” He had a little kid smile. Cute.

“No, but I’ll walk you through the process.”

“Hmm, I guess that means I have to do the work.”

“No duh.”

She enjoyed sitting near him. It felt natural, and a little weird at the same time. Forty-five minutes later, his setup was complete. She could have done it faster, but she didn’t mind showing him the different options and explaining why he should choose one over the others. He was a quick study.

She moved back to her side of the table. Her downloads were complete. In a few more minutes, she’d be able to check her email and move about the Internet without being tracked by Kai or anyone else.

But first things first. Did Levy really find her money? All of it? Could she pay Derry his money? She had three different accounts. She checked her local bank first. This was the one Kai and Levy were most likely to find.

Empty, not surprising.

Well, that was the smallest account. Did Levy find his money? Did he stop the transfers from last weekend? Not as likely. This account was harder to find and was under her new name, Ramos.

Sara logged into her offshore account.

Sitting back, she knew she still had him. The account was untouched, lots of money.
