Chapter Thirteen

Grant had been up for more than twenty-four hours and finally conked out in a leather recliner in the staff lounge at the main Decorah office.

He’d tried to stay awake, reviewing the plans the team had made, but when he’d closed his eyes for a moment, he was gone.

Mack gave his brother a long look, then went off to scroll through commercial news feeds on one of the office desktop computers. As far as anyone could see, there was no mention on the local or national news of the shoot-out—or of any men missing.

Grant woke up when Frank came back from his private mission after about three hours. None of the Decorah staff asked him what he’d done with the bodies. But Grant assumed they were somewhere nobody was going to stumble over them. His home was next to the Beltsville Agricultural acreage. Grant pictured the Decorah head taking the limp forms to an unused part of the compound and burying them under some long-forgotten hybrid azalea experiment. Only that was just a fantasy. He was sure Frank was too smart to dispose of anybody on federal land, where discovery could lead back to him and Decorah Security.

Grant breathed out a small sigh. A visit from the police was probably off the table, but there were plenty more things to worry about.

Since the attack on the patient facility, Grant had done a lot of things he wasn’t proud of. But he’d told himself they were necessary to save Jenny—maybe save her from herself. When Lily had given her a sedative, she’d said that she was only going to sleep for six hours. But after Frank returned, Grant put his case to the group, and they basically agreed with his analysis of the situation.

The first order of business had been to inject Jenny with a sedative that would keep her sleeping for an additional six hours, to give them time to get ready to interrogate her. Then they moved her from the scene of the shoot-out to the main Decorah building where they could keep her under guard along with the patients who had also been moved.

As the time drew near to wake her, Grant used the washroom, then splashed cold water on his face, thinking he still looked pretty rough. Stepping into the hall, he was mentally preparing for the hours to come when a scream from the room where Jenny was sleeping had everybody snap to alert status.

“Christ.” Grant grabbed the Sig in his shoulder holster.

With the others trailing behind, he went running down the hall to the room where they’d stashed her. Gun in hand, he plowed through the door. The room was in semidarkness. But to his relief, he saw at once that Jenny was alone. He could see she was thrashing her head back and forth on the pillow, obviously caught in the clutches of a bad dream.

He turned to Mack, who was right behind him.

“Nightmare.”

“Yeah.”

His twin went back to the conference room. Putting the gun on the floor outside the room, Grant stepped inside and closed the door behind himself.
