Hunt braced his elbows on his knees as he sat on the plush, rolled-back, tufted side chair in the living area of the hotel suite and flipped channels on the TV with the remote.

There was nothing on the local news about Foster or what the cops had found at that property in the desert, and no indication the FBI was doing anything out of the ordinary in the area. Finally settling on a basketball game, he turned the volume to low so it wouldn’t disturb Kelsey in the bedroom, set the remote on the coffee table in front of him, and checked his phone for the umpteenth time.

Still nothing from the cops. And nothing from Callahan in Portland. He’d called Davies earlier and told him to look into Benedict’s and Foster’s backgrounds as well, hoping for some kind of link between the two men, but so far Davies had come up empty on both. Logic said they had to be connected in some way, but that tingle along the back of Hunt’s neck anytime he thought about the two men told him he was reaching.

He swiped a hand across his nape, then grabbed the water bottle he’d opened and left on the coffee table. The suite his office manager, Monica, had booked them into was all modern lines, plush furnishings, and warm desert colors—a mix of creams and browns and oranges that matched the colors outside as the sun set over the jagged mountains. It had two bedrooms—the biggest of which he’d given to Kelsey—and balconies that overlooked the pool area. She was currently in her room, getting ready for dinner. Had been locked in there for the last hour. And even though he knew she was safe and that nothing bad could happen to her here right under his nose, he was itching for that damn door to open so he could see for himself she was all right.

Because he wasn’t completely sure she was as fine as she said. She’d seemed okay on the drive to the hotel. She was acting normal—better than normal, in fact. She was acting like the Kelsey he’d spent all those hours talking to in the rubble, not the snarky, closed-off Kelsey he’d taken to his beach house. But he knew what she’d seen at Foster’s house had freaked her out. He’d seen it in her eyes before she’d gone outside. And he’d felt it when he’d hugged her and she’d clung to him as if she never wanted to let go.

The master bedroom door opened just when he was seconds away from knocking to make sure she was still alive, and Kelsey stepped out into the living room with a one-sided smile and his iPad cradled in her hands.

He breathed deeply, knowing she was safe, but frowned because she wasn’t dressed and ready for dinner as he’d expected. She was wrapped in a plush white bathrobe, with her wet hair covered by one of those weird towel things he didn’t know how girls made stay on their heads.
