Jackson watched as River downed half her beer in one go. Had they been at Lenny’s Bar and Grill for any other reason, he probably would have laughed. As it was, he’d taken her here while Dec and Cole searched her house for more cameras. If there was one, he was sure there’d be more.

“How long do you think someone’s been watching me?” she asked, the glass of beer hitting the table. “Since Ryker disappeared? Longer? Do you think they were for watching him?”

“We won’t know any of those things until we find the assholes who put the camera there,” Jackson said quietly. His own beer sat untouched. He needed a clear head to deal with this. Hell, even with a clear head, he was trying like hell to control his rage.

Someone had gone into River’s house. Installed cameras. Watched her. It made him want to go out and hunt down the bastard.

Her head suddenly shot up. “Oh my God, do you think there are cameras at Mom and Dad’s house? He spent a lot of time there—”

“The guys are checking there too. Your parents are out for the day, so neither of them will ever know.”

A long breath whooshed from her chest. She shook her head, and even though she cast her gaze around the room, he could tell she wasn’t really looking at anything. “Do you think it was Mickey?”

When he was silent for a beat, she cast her gaze back to him.

“I’m not sure.” Not after seeing those three men at the club and hearing about this Elijah guy. He didn’t need to know who they were to know they were bad news. “But I promise you, I’m going to find out.”

She swallowed, giving a small nod. “Distract me. Tell me what was so important you had to sneak out this morning.”

Ah, he’d been waiting for that to come up. “Is it still sneaking out if I left a note?”

“Yes.” Her response was immediate and had a smile tugging at his lips.

“I went down to my father’s trailer. I wanted to ask him why he was there last night.”

Stepping up to the door of that trailer, though…it had been like stepping into the past. Stepping into the personal hell he’d lived through as a kid.

River frowned. “What happened?”

“He wasn’t there.” A part of him had been disappointed because he needed answers. But another part had almost been relieved. Because even looking at his father, let alone talking to him, felt like having his insides shredded.

“Then I met the guys, and we went to look at the old boxing studio.”

River tilted her head to the side with a smile. “Larry’s place?”

He nodded. River knew what Larry and the ring had meant to him. Hell, she’d gone there and watched him and Ryker train a hundred times.

“Why?”

“We’re using the place to train while we’re in town.”

Almost immediately, his stomach cramped. Because he knew she heard what he hadn’t explicitly said. That his time in this town was temporary. He couldn’t stay.
