Chapter 27

I took a deep breath. “So now what?”

“Now, you don’t spend another second alone until we get this resolved. For the next few days, Wheeler, Germain, and I will trade off staying with you. I feel like the pieces are coming together on this. Things have gone wrong for them, and that’s when people start to get desperate and make mistakes. But if it drags out for much longer, you’ll have to go into protective custody.”

I sat rigidly, fists clenched, willing my breathing slow and steady. In. Out. Ocean waves.

“Aydan?” Spider’s concerned voice brought me back to the meeting room. He touched my arm. “Don’t be scared. Kane and Germain and Wheeler, these guys are the best. Nothing’s going to happen to you. They’ll keep you safe.”

I faked calm with an effort of will. “Thanks, Spider.”

My hands were still trembling, but I held my voice steady as I turned to Kane. “What does this mean in terms of my mobility?”

“For the next few days, you’ll follow your normal routine. We’ll tag along with everything you do. If you need to go somewhere, one of us will drive. We’ll stay at your house at night, for now. If it goes beyond that, we’ll work out the details with you then.”

“Can I do anything to help?”

“If I think of anything, I’ll let you know. I’ll be with you today. Then Wheeler will take over for the night, Germain in the morning. We’ll trade off every eight hours or so.”

I let out a long, slow breath. “Okay. Are we done here?”

“I can’t think of anything else, unless you have more questions.”

“No. Can we leave, then?”

“Where do you want to go?”

I surreptitiously dried my moist palms on my jeans. “I need to go home and get some workout clothes, and then I need to come back to town and go to the gym. If I don’t work off some of this nervous energy, I’m going to explode.”

He smiled. “Your wish is my command. Webb, do you want me to drop you off at Sirius?”

“No, that’s okay,” Spider replied. “I’m going to get some work done here.”

“I’ll go and grab a change of clothes,” Kane said. “If we’re going to the gym, I’ll work out, too. I’ll be right back.” He disappeared down the hall. After a short delay, he returned wearing sweats and carrying a duffel bag.
