QUINT’S SPANISH WAS a little too rusty to decipher all of Lola’s emails, so he uploaded the contents of her hard drive to the case file on the database. There were linguistic specialists who could take it from there. Using Google’s translator, he was able to get the gist of anything that drew his eye. So far, Lola came out clean. There was also a computer specialist who would dissect everything else. It had taken Quint the better part of the night, but Ree’s text that the bar was about to close came just before midnight. She’d said it would take only fifteen minutes to finish breaking down since the night had been slow and everyone had pitched in to make closing go as smoothly as possible.

Nick Driver was still on Quint’s mind. He needed to be made aware of just how uncool the stunt he’d pulled was and how little a repeat would be tolerated. At the very least, it was unprofessional not to respond to Ree’s text and then show up at the door. Then there was the snide comment in front of the bar. Quint’s hands were tied on how to get the message across. He couldn’t confront the guy or shoot a note to Bjorn to complain. She was already on high alert when it came to Quint working in cooperation with another agency.

Quint would sit on it for a while and see if any ideas turned up. He also didn’t want to undermine Ree, who had agreed to be the go-between. By the time he exited his building and made the walk to HNC, Ree was standing out front with Lola.

“Hi, honey,” Ree said, walking over to him and rising up to give him a kiss. He dipped his head and met her halfway. The kiss caused his pulse to skyrocket. It was strange, because he was usually used to kissing a fellow agent by the time they worked together on a second assignment. This shouldn’t be any different. Driver’s earlier comment sat heavy on Quint.

“Hey,” he said, hearing the gravelly quality to his own voice. At least his reaction to her made the whole newlywed cover seem far more credible. He would leave it at that.

“We started to head home but decided to wait for you here in case you came from a different direction,” Ree said. She glanced over at Lola. “Thank you for sticking around with me.”

“No problem,” Lola said, checking her phone. “It’s what we do for each other, right?”

Ree’s smile could light a city block during a blackout.

A Lamborghini roared up on the road next to them. Lola caught Ree’s gaze. “Looks like my ride finally showed.”

“See you tomorrow?” Ree asked.

“Tuesday’s my night off,” Lola said, rushing toward the vehicle like her life depended on it. She climbed in the passenger seat and shot a quick smile at Ree, who waved.

“I’m worried about her,” Ree said as Quint linked their fingers. There was something right about holding Ree’s hand.
