Chapter Ten

Jensen smiled to himself as he changed into a button-down shirt, tie, and slacks, then strode down to his office and retrieved a Magnum pistol and a side holster from his safe. If only he could stay here and talk to Livvy, hold her so she felt safe, but he had to confront Treven. Tomorrow he’d spend the entire day with Livvy. Would she play the piano for him? He’d almost revealed to her that he’d bought that piano with her in mind. Lieutenant Yost’s interruption was annoying but probably for the best.

He spoke with Lieutenant Yost about his objective, and she reassured him they’d keep Miss Moser safe. She stared hungrily into his eyes, clearly hoping he’d say something personal. They’d gone to dinner half a dozen times when she was working at the military facility under Chad. When she’d been transferred to his department with a promotion to lieutenant, he’d kept a professional distance and started calling her Lieutenant Yost even though he was usually more casual with the people who served directly with him. She’d never said anything, but she glanced at him a lot. Maybe he should’ve explained initially that he didn’t date employees and that Livvy had long held his interest. It felt a little late now. He said goodbye and hurried out of the house.

Driving quickly down the mountain road and past Traverse to the prison out in the fields north of town, he found himself thinking about Livvy’s irresistible combination of sweetness and bravery instead of the upcoming confrontation with Treven. Dwelling on Livvy would surely give him more motivation to get the information he needed out of the guy—like where their money was coming from, his mother’s whereabouts, and the identities of his henchmen. They hadn’t been able to get a peep out of the slime yet, but Jensen planned on changing that tonight. Then he’d have the prison guards move Treven to the highest-security cell. The guy was done threatening Livvy.

Pulling into the prison, the gates swung open and uniformed officers saluted as he passed. He parked in the employee parking lot. It was almost one-thirty in the morning when the employee door swung wide, held by a stiff-looking guard. Jensen entered the building and was greeted by the shift commander, Captain Rhodes. They shook hands.

“The prisoner is waiting, sir.”

“Thank you.”

Locked doors popped open, and men saluted as they walked down halls. The prison was quiet this early in the morning, but the guards had known he was coming and showed it with respect and him not even having to wait for a door to buzz open. These men knew their job, and they did it well.

Captain Rhodes stopped outside the interrogation room. “Where would you like me, sir?”

“Watch from the observation room and see what details you can pick up. I might trade you places at some point. Who knows how long he’ll hold out.”

“I’ll be watching and awaiting my turn, sir.” Captain Rhodes opened and held the door for him.
