CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

Sean had an awful night, and he didn’t expect the day to get any better.

He woke up in Jesse’s room just before nine, his neck stiff and his back sore. He woke Jesse like the doctor had told him to. Jesse said, “I’m fine,” and closed his eyes again.

Sean didn’t think he’d been asleep. Jesse just didn’t want to talk to him.

Sean took a short shower and walked downstairs. He didn’t like coffee, but he poured himself a cup, sipped, and grimaced. He needed the jolt but he didn’t understand how Lucy could drink this stuff like water.

Kane was on the phone, and by the conversation it was clear he was talking to Rick Stockton. When he hung up, he said, “Rick knows what happened. He’s talking to Dean now, and will be alerting the marshals.”

“What does he think is going on?”

“If this is a threat to Jesse, their threat assessment is shit.” Kane paused. “You need to be prepared that they may have to go back into WITSEC. The marshals are generally very good, but they could have missed something—especially if Spade wasn’t forthcoming.”

Sean’s stomach twisted painfully. He’d been thinking about this exact situation all night. That now that he’d found Jesse, he would lose him again.

“If Spade didn’t tell the truth, if he hid something about his activities or associates from the court, he won’t be allowed back into the program. That’s part of his agreement,” Sean said.

“But they would put his wife and son back in.”

“Stepson! Jesse is my son.”

“Sean.”

Kane didn’t have to say it. Sean couldn’t protect Jesse and Madison if someone wanted to get to Carson through them.

“I don’t want to lose him, Kane,” Sean said quietly.

Kane clapped a hand on Sean’s back. “We’re going to get through this, no matter what happens. He’s safe here for now, Jack’s on his way, and I’m going to do some recon on this Bart Vasquez. Did you learn anything about Jesse’s phone last night?”

“I left a program running overnight.”

They walked down the hall to Sean’s office and he slipped behind his desk. At least here he had complete control. Here, he knew what he was doing and how to find answers.

He scanned the raw data of the app that told Jesse’s mother where he was. These apps were supposed to be hackproof, but Sean knew nothing was foolproof. Yet Sean had found no evidence that someone outside had accessed the app. Now he had just the raw code and data. Everything meant something, but what he wanted was a list of IP addresses that had logged into the program to look at the tracking. One came up almost daily—but Sean had already determined it was Madison.

This was going to take time. Raw data was a bitch to pore through, even when you knew what to look for.

Kane said, “Work on that, call if you learn anything. Jack will be here early afternoon. We’re going to find out exactly what’s going on.” He paused. “I told Rick Lucy’s theory.
