Chapter Twelve

Sawyer stared at the photos of the warehouse. The toppled crates. The crushed phone.

And the blood.

Since it had been more than twelve hours since they’d last heard from Diane, Sawyer figured one of two things had happened. The kidnappers had injured her when they’d taken her captive again. Or it was worse than that.

Maybe they had killed her.

They already had one unsolved murder on their hands, and he hated that they might have another. Especially when those murders could be connected right back to Cassidy, Emma and him.

Cassidy finished her phone call and peered at him from over the top of a coffee mug that Grayson had scrounged up for her. “The nanny said Emma was fine.”

Good. That was something at least.

Sawyer had hated to leave the baby, but she was in good hands with the nanny-bodyguard and the two agents. He wished he could say the same for Cassidy. Sawyer had wanted her to stay at the safe house, too, while he drove into town to question her brother. But she had insisted on coming along.

And he couldn’t blame her.

If it were his brother in the hot seat, Sawyer would have done the same. The trouble was, he wasn’t sure Cassidy could handle much more stress, and here he was about to add what would be a tense interrogation.

He heard the footsteps in the hall, and seconds later his cousin Mason appeared in the doorway. “Just got the test results back. It was Diane’s blood in the warehouse.”

Even though it was exactly what Sawyer had expected, he still cursed. He’d held out some hope that the woman had managed to injure one of her kidnappers, but no such luck.

“It’s not much blood,” Mason went on. “Not nearly enough to indicate a fatal wound.”

No, but they both knew she could have been taken elsewhere to bleed out.

“Kade faxed this to you,” Mason added, dropping several pages onto the desk that Sawyer was using as his makeshift office. “Bennie’s phone records.” And he shot Cassidy a look that almost seemed to say brace yourself before he strolled away.

The phone records got Cassidy’s attention, because she hurried around to his side of the desk. “Rex Ross,” Sawyer said when he saw the name. According to the note Kade had made, Ross was the bar owner who Bennie had mentioned the night before. The one he owed money to.

“Bennie called him at least a dozen times,” Cassidy pointed out. Looking over his shoulder, she leaned closer. Too close. Until her breasts touched his back. “Sorry,” she mumbled.

Sawyer looked up at her. “If we start apologizing for every little touch, we’re not going to be doing much else than saying I’m sorry.”

Of course, that didn’t stop him from reacting to that accidental touch. And despite everything else going on, he was reminded again of the heat. Reminded too of the stupid kissing session. Stupid because he’d done it and equally stupid because he wanted to do it again.

Sawyer was still trying to push those kissing thoughts aside when he saw Cassidy’s eyes widen.
