Michael stood up as Mason walked toward them. His friend had changed little over the last year. His dark-blond hair was still a bit long, and he was wearing his typical jeans and T-shirt that allowed him to blend in almost anywhere.

Mason stopped in front of him, then pulled him into a big hug. “I’ll be honest, when I got the message from you, I wasn’t sure if I should hug you or slug you.”

Michael smiled, unprepared for the wave of emotion that shot through him. “I’ll take the former, thanks.” He caught the hesitation in Mason’s eyes as his gaze shifted to Olivia.

“I didn’t realize you had anyone with you.”

“This is Olivia Hamilton.”

Mason shook her hand. “It’s nice to meet you.”

“You as well,” Olivia said. “Michael says great things about you.”

“And this is her brother, Ivan,” Michael said as Ivan walked up with Gizmo in tow. “He’s deaf, but he can read lips.”

Mason nodded at Ivan. “I could have used you a time or two on a stakeout.”

Ivan smiled. “It’s nice to meet you, sir.”

Mason turned back to Michael. “We have a lot to talk about, but I’m still trying to convince myself that you’re really standing here and this isn’t some whacked-out dream of mine.”

“Trust me, this is real.” And so was the danger both to himself and anyone he involved. “Did you tell anyone?”

“Avery knows, and she brought in your father.”

Michael frowned.

“I didn’t have a choice, Michael. This isn’t exactly something we can deal with alone.”

“So who else knows?”

“Just your sisters and your father. No one else. They’re not even going to tell your mother until things are sorted out.”

Guilt reemerged. “You could all get into trouble for this. You and Avery could lose your jobs—”

“Forget it. You’re a whole lot more important than any job will ever be. So you know they’re looking for you?”

“Yeah. We know.”

“Avery’s the one leading up the hunt for you,” Mason said. “I want to hear everything, but I think it’s best to get you both out of here so we can talk in private. And I’ve got a place where we should be safe. Your family is meeting us there. How’d you get here?”

Michael paused. “A stolen car that’s a bit worse for wear than when we first took it, which is one reason why it’s only a matter of time until the police pick up our trail.”

“Then we better make sure we stay one step ahead of them,” Mason said. “Any signs of being followed?”

“Not here.”

“I guess it’s hard to kill a dead man.”

“Apparently not.”

As they started walking toward the exit, Michael explained briefly how he had saved Valez’s life, how Valez had orchestrated his death, and what had happened the past few days, including his rescue off the island and their subsequent escape from Felipe’s cabin and the storage unit.

“They’re going to keep looking for you, which is why we need to get out of here.” Mason nodded toward the stadium across the street. “I’m parked just south of 10th Street.
