Chapter 14

Eli’s chest was tight as he surveyed the damage to the rear French doors to Gryff’s house. The glass was shattered on one side, and the house had been gone through in a rush. Nothing was missing, not much even broken, the major issue only the door itself. Whoever had broken in had been looking for something specific... or more like someone specific.

Olivia.

As soon as the three of them had arrived at the house, Trey met them on the front steps, a worried expression on his face. “They were looking for Liv,” he announced as Eli climbed out of his Land Rover.

That’s what Eli had suspected, that Dean would send some goons over looking for her.

Now they stood on the back deck in the shade, trying to avoid the heat of the afternoon sun, as the police walked through the interior of the house, writing up a report. Before law enforcement had arrived, the four of them discussed not mentioning Olivia at all and what was happening with her situation.

They still didn’t know who to trust. Any of the cops who arrived on scene could be corrupt, so it wasn’t worth the risk. He just knew, come Monday, he and Grant needed to start putting feelers out quickly to try to find someone to leak the evidence to.

Or a few people. Maybe if they picked a few, at least one of them would step up and do the right thing.

Though that was no guarantee, either, but he had to do something.

“Do you think you’re being followed?” Eli asked in a quiet voice, keeping an eye out for the police.

Trey shot him a surprised look. “I don’t know. If I am, it’s not obvious.”

“Well, someone has eyes on the house obviously, even if Trey isn’t being followed,” Gryff said, keeping his voice down, as well. “They knew we were all gone. If they thought we were hiding Liv, they just found out they were wrong.”

Eli ran a hand over his chin, his fingers brushing against the morning growth of beard. “I can’t imagine they’ll pull whoever’s sitting watch on the house, though. So we need to keep her where she is.”

“Agreed,” Gryff said.

“I want to see her,” Trey insisted.

Eli shook his head. “It’s not smart. You shouldn’t come to the house in case you’re being followed. Likewise, they might have eyes on the firm, so I don’t want to bring her there.”

“Fuck,” Trey barked, shoving a hand through his dark blond hair. “My sister’s finally back in my life but she’s really not.”

Rayne leaned into him and Trey snaked an arm around her waist, pulling her close. She rested her head on his shoulder and grabbed a fistful of his shirt to hang on to. “As soon as this is over, you can spend lots of time with her,” she said.

Trey frowned but said nothing.

Rayne continued, “How about you just video conference with her? You guys can talk and get caught up in the meantime.”

Trey’s head twisted toward Eli. “Do you think she knows how to Skype?”

“If she doesn’t, I’ll show her.
