Chapter Seventeen

Cam stopped her rapid-fire typing. She was transcribing handwritten notes into the Peters file, and the part regarding her conversation with Officer Barnes brought her up short. She hadn’t remembered him saying the word “ruthless,” but there it was, and since she’d gone back to her car and immediately made notes on what they’d discussed, Cam believed he’d said it. Gooseflesh rose along her exposed arms.

“You bastard.” Cam pointed to the screen. This was why she didn’t want Sarah anywhere near Brace Archer. He obviously didn’t give a shit about his parents finding out about the drugs, or if he did, maybe he thought Daddy’s money could get him out of any situation. She would bet her reputation on their not knowing what their son was up to. Cam considered using them as leverage until she stopped and thought it over. No. Brace didn’t look like the type to take well to a warning, and it would likely just piss him off. No telling what he would do then. Cam had to tread lightly. She wasn’t the only one involved, and Sarah had put her faith in Cam. She had to gather everything she could so Sarah could come to the same conclusion she had—Brace Archer was dangerous.

She’d only begun to scratch the surface of what she was sure was a closet full of skeletons belonging to Archer. Uncovering them would require poking the bear. With a big stick. She’d have to try to get more from Barnes, but in the meantime she’d let Archer know she was investigating him on his sister’s behalf. Of course, she wasn’t about to reveal any details about her client, and doubted he’d have the wherewithal to even begin to look for Sarah. She was counting on it. The news of Sarah’s existence would either cause him to get reckless or, if her current information was bogus, he’d be as excited as Sarah was at the prospect of having a sibling. Cam believed that was the least likely scenario. However, she did enjoy a challenge and got off on the hunt. She wasn’t a fool who took unnecessary chances, but there were cases out there that deserved to be solved, and those were the ones that made her blood race, especially when those being hunted deserved to be taken down.

This one had turned personal, though. Sarah had become personal. She probably didn’t feel the same about Cam, no matter how much she’d been floored by her agreeing to wait for a complete picture of Brace. That alone spoke volumes, and although Sarah hadn’t apologized for storming out of the office, Cam had the impression she regretted it.

Her next step was a face-to-face with the hard to locate Brace Archer. She’d lucked out with Barnes and had even convinced him to text her the next time Brace was in the office. There was no guarantee he’d still be there when she arrived, but it was worth a shot. Jimmy told her Brace gave a
