CHAPTER FIFTEEN

I stared at the blue and gold square for a minute. This wasn't mine. Had it been in that case this whole time? That explained why I'd had difficulty removing and returning the card. Maybe it had something to do with the FBI, or had Barclay hidden it there for safekeeping?

Either way, I wanted a peek now.

I looked up to Aiden, who was pouring a couple of beers on tap. "Hey, you know that favor?"

"Anything," he said.

He really was in a good mood.

"Do you have a computer I can borrow? Wi-Fi on the ship is super expensive." I didn't bother to explain why I needed his computer and couldn't send an email or go on Facebook via my phone.

He saw three new paying customers, and I hoped he wouldn't think of my request being weird, but he frowned and asked, "You want to use my business computer?"

Okay, so when he put it like that, I realized it was a total invasion of privacy.

"If you wouldn't mind. I won't look at anything you have on there. I just need to do something…personal." I was certain that hadn't won him over.

He smiled to the new customers. "I'll be right with you."

I shook my head, feeling foolish for having asked. "Never mind. It can wait."

"No, no, you're Cady's best friend. She talks about you a lot. She's super grateful she has such a good friend by her side."

"Yeah?" I couldn't help but smile extra cheesy. I assumed she liked me as much as I did her, but it was nice to hear that from someone else.

"She's mentioned how much she trusts you. That the two of you don't have any secrets."

Oh, that made me feel awful. My stomach soured, and I pushed my drink a little away. I should tell her the truth about my past, my life back home, but what if she told Aiden and he happened to mention it to someone he knew? Before long, the truth could have traveled, and Mom and Timmy could be in trouble again.

Aiden was watching me. "Go ahead. It's in the office. First door on the right in back."

He was talking about his computer.

"Oh, thank you."

"No problem. The password is her birthday." With a wink, he walked to the table to take their order.

I stepped around the bar and walked through the swinging door, almost colliding into a shoulder-height stack of boxes.

The kitchen was small, with a sink, flattop, oven, and a deep fryer with two baskets. A tiny prep table and a couple of shelving racks completed the setup. Stainless steel doors to what was probably a walk-in fridge or freezer stood between the cooking area and the dishwasher in the back corner.

The first door on the right led to a tiny, windowless room with enough space for a desk, chair, and a thigh-high file cabinet. An old computer monitor sat on the desk, which faced the wall and not the door. It was an odd setup. Who wanted their back to the door? It didn't matter.
