âWhat weâre going to do next,â Gareth began, âis hide out here and keep you safe while the inspector catches whoever is behind the attacks on your home and work.â As heâd thought, she didnât appear to like that answer.
âWhoever is behind those attacks is probably the person whoâs responsible for Millie Grantâs death,â she said. âSo the smart thing to do would be to find the body and put the killer away. Then thereâs no more reason for anyone to target me.â
There it was. Right on cue. Avery thinking she knew better than anyone else.
âNot gonna happen. At least, not today. Itâs my job to protect you and at the moment, that means keeping you here.â
She rolled her eyes and scoffed. âAre you going to hold me down to stop me leaving?â
His back teeth ground together. âIf I have to.â
Her posture stiffened. Finally, heâd surprised her. Good. It was important she know that he wasnât the same easygoing kid heâd been. He wouldnât let her get her way all the time. She didnât have him wrapped around her talented pinky finger anymore. Moreover, he damn sure was going to keep her safe. Heâd seen what happened when policemen didnât take threats against women seriously, and he wouldnât allow that to happen to her. Intellectually, she was leagues ahead of him, but physically, he had the advantage and he wasnât afraid to use it.
âOkay,â she acknowledged. âNot today. But you should call Rata and ask her to arrange for another soil sample to be sent in, if there is one. I can find another lab to do the tests. Shouldnât be a big hassle. When do you think I might be free of my bossy bodyguard?â
âIâll stop protecting you when youâre no longer in danger,â he said. âForget about the case. Think of the long-range implications of your work. Itâs important you stay safe so you can take it where it needs to go.â
She huffed out a breath. Took a step back. Nodded. âThat makes sense. But I need to do something.â
She started to pace with restless energy, the old wooden floorboards creaking beneath her feet. He had seen this before. When someone was victimized, they needed to feel in control. He should assign her a task. Something that wouldnât get her in trouble, and which she could do from here.
âGive me a minute,â he said. âIâll cut some timber and you can get the fire going.â He didnât want to risk her going outside unless absolutely necessary. He paused before he left and held out his palm. She stared at it blankly. âGive me your phone,â he said.
She reflexively covered the pocket where her phone was with her hands. âWhy?â
âBecause thereâs a chance someoneâs tracking it. You canât use it, and we should take the battery out, just to be safe.â
She rolled her eyes. âNo one will be tracking it.â
âYou donât know that. These guys go to big lengths to keep themselves out of prison.â
She extracted her phone from her pocket but didnât seem willing to hand it over.
