CHAPTER TEN

Clay glanced at April in the passenger seat of his truck and brushed his knuckle down her arm. “We’ll find him.”

“Will we? Jimmy must’ve taken him. Adam told me Jimmy was after him. I guess he got him.” She clamped a hand down on her bouncing knee.

“Maybe he thinks Adam took that flash drive.” Clay reached for his cup of coffee and took a sip, although the lukewarm liquid tasted more like vinegar than coffee. “Are you sure you don’t want to call the Albuquerque police?”

“We can’t do that, Clay. Kenzie didn’t want to touch the drugs Adam left behind at my place, and I can’t blame her. Can you imagine if the police showed up at the apartment to check out the scene and found all those drugs…at my apartment?”

“So, we go out there and get rid of the drugs first and then call the police? That’s not gonna look good, either.”

“It won’t look good if they know about the drugs.” She poked his thigh. “You’re Border Patrol. You have contacts in the DEA. Tell them about the drugs if you want to dispose of them legally.”

“What quantity of drugs are we talking about? Did Kenzie tell you what was lying around?”

“No. She was practically hysterical by the time she got off the phone with me when she realized I haven’t talked to Adam since the day of the wedding, either. I didn’t get much out of her.”

“How’d she get into your place?”

“It was open. The front door was unlocked.”

“Great.” A muscle jumped at the corner of his mouth. “Adam brought his drugs to your place, and Jimmy scooped him up there—and not without a struggle. There’s a reason why Jimmy left the drugs in your apartment instead of taking them.”

“And it worked. He knew I wouldn’t call the police—and I’m not.” April drew lines on the thighs of her pants as she raked her fingernails up and down her legs. “I hope Adam doesn’t have that flash drive. Jimmy will kill him—if he hasn’t already.”

“Depends on what’s on the flash drive. If Jimmy gets it back from Adam, he might decide to use it against him. He just lost two mules.”

April crossed her hands over her chest. “You think Jimmy will use Adam to intercept drugs from Las Moscas?”

“I don’t know, April. It’s one possibility.” His hands clenched the steering wheel. “You shouldn’t be rushing back into this mess. You don’t owe your brother a thing after what he did to you—after what he’s done to you.”

Flicking her fingers in the air, she said, “I was coming here, anyway, although I wish I could’ve driven that car to return it to Ryan.”

“With Adam missing and drugs and blood in your apartment, we didn’t have time to make a detour to a location you may or may not remember.” He made a grab for the cup again and knocked it from the cup holder.”

“Nothing spilled.” April plucked it off the floor and squeezed his bicep. “Don’t worry. I have you by my side, and I can’t leave Adam hanging out to dry.
