Chapter Twenty-Four

Coop

“You go first,” I say once we’re back downstairs, and shoo Margot gently toward the banquet hall. “But you’re seeing me later.”

Pouting her lips, she blows me a subtle kiss and heads in without a word.

I kill a few minutes checking my phone. With a quick text to Corey, my new cyber guy who commands outrageous fees, I start my own investigation.

Oddly enough, I’ve never met Corey. Couldn’t pick him out of a lineup. Hell, I’m not even sure he’s in the US. But Corey is one of the best. Austin's assurance was all I needed.

These types of investigations are Corey's playground. How Austin knew that, I really didn't want to know. Corey's focus is people, primarily. He runs with a crowd who don’t have business cards or phone numbers. Hell, most of these ghosts don’t even have names.

Usually, these keyboard warriors roam the underbelly of the World Wide Web, known only by a descriptive alias. Deathstar. BlackSkull. HiddenTiger. PrettyKitty1972.

Super secret. Cloaked in darkness.

But not Corey.

To my surprise, Corey Dantes, or CD for communications purposes, gave me his full name and cell phone number up front when I first contacted him, along with a bank account number.

“You’ll never see me,” he wrote. “We’ll never meet. Cash goes into my account, and my rates are nonnegotiable. You’re the first person I investigate because I need to know who I’m working with. As long as you’re good with that, so am I.”

Lo and behold, Corey and his dark-web ways have been a huge asset and are perfect for this new game of fetch.

coop: Urgent job. Get with Austin. Recheck our staff, but only the ones who’ve been at the Long Multinational negotiations this past week.

cd: Situation?

coop: Media leaks. Fast ones. First one was Tuesday. Within minutes of me leaving a meeting.

cd: This one?
