Chapter Fourteen

Pearce

I don’t like the idea of dropping Brynn for five seconds let alone five minutes, but I can’t control every second of her life.

The traffic’s a pain in the ass to get a place to park anyway, so I reluctantly agree to circle a block or three until it’s time to get her again.

Pulling away, I watch her in the rearview, going into a building.

A nice building.

The kind of nice buildings girls don’t have to run away from.

Slowing down, I spot her coming out again from a distance and making her way over to the other side of the street.

The side where people live that have no place else to run to.

The not so nice side of the street.

Growling to myself I punch the wheel and curse, feeling stupid for pushing her into the idea she had to or even should go back at all.

“Idiot!” I snarl to myself, braking hard and spinning the wheels as I cut across four lanes of traffic to go back when something else catches the corner of my eye.

I’ll be fucking damned…

Having only seen her briefly this morning I might normally overlook her on my way to who I really want to see.

But that big hair. Those heels. Her mysterious disappearance after I fired her?

It’s secret agent Barbie alright. But it’s whose arm she’s on that sees me almost skid when I hit the brakes.

Mike Whitman.

My second in command. The man I’d trust with my—

The man I trusted with my whole empire.

Son of a bitch.

Making a note of the building they enter, I also notice he doesn’t look like he’s making a citizen’s arrest either.

My eyes narrow, and a thousand things occur to me at once.

At the top of that list is still Brynn though.

Always will be.

I need to get back to her quickly so we can get out of here before we’re spotted.

Whitman’s no dummy. He has his own security and special ways of doing things.

Ex-military man. Old school Navy Seal some people have rumored. But all I know is I’ve spotted him with the number one suspect after our systems were hacked earlier today.

If it was any other day I could devote all my energy to it. I might even try to tell myself that Whitman’s acting for my best interests, maybe using the girl as part of his plan.

But no. I know that look. I know how he was looking at her. He’s fallen about as far left from the tree as anyone can.

I just have to catch him in the act. Prove it.

But today is supposed to be our day. Brynn and me. Every day from now on if I can get it right.

She looks stunned, like a rabbit in the headlights when I screech the car to a halt right in front of her before she can cross back to the nicer side of the street.

I’ve caught her out. I can see where she lived, imagine what she’s running from.

Her sullen look tells me she hasn’t packed the box she carries herself either.
