The lights were turned on in the office as I darted across the lot, merging with the shadows and following the tree line until the sidewalk. I continued, keeping off the sidewalk until I got to my truck. Moving inside, Bren’s face was pale. “I didn’t know if he caught you.”

Everything inside me was locked tight, but I couldn’t talk, not yet. We needed out of there as soon as possible. Turning the truck on, keeping the lights off, I moved forward. Once I took a turn onto another block, I flicked the lights on and headed back to the house.

“Shit!” I could breathe easier now.

She stared at me. “They never gave me a key.”

“I know.” I reached over, taking her hand.

She slid her fingers alongside mine. “You think they’ll look at the security cameras?”

I shook my head. A big fat fucking boulder was sitting in my gut, but I didn’t have anything to make it all go away. “Let’s hope not.”

“What about Justin’s key card?”

“I dropped it on the ground. It’ll look like it came off his shirt, or out of his pocket or something.”

She exhaled a deep breath, moving to face the front again, but her hand never let go of mine.

She held me tight the whole way back.

Chapter Twenty-One

BREN

Cross dropped me off, and I was showering as he went to pick up Zellman and Jordan.

I knew he had a bombshell to drop on me. It was late, and I’d been happily buzzed. I wasn’t anymore.

The other rooms didn’t have much. Anything important must have been put away in a filing cabinet, but there was obviously a reason they didn’t want me in that second room. Had to be.

Why keep me on?

Why bring me on in the first place?

Was I being used?

After Brock brought up my dad the first day, no one had said anything again. I was the office intern, helping where they told me.

I hadn’t called Channing or my dad again. A part of me wasn’t ready, and I was glad neither had called me back. To an extent, I enjoyed sticking my head in the sand when it came to my dad. I wasn’t surprised about Channing not reaching out. He didn’t want me involved with anything concerning our dad, but a part of me had been waiting for his call telling me to stop working with Coug r Lanes, too.

On a whole, everything had been quiet regarding Tabatha and Harper, too.

It was a feeling, though. It was low, deep, and it was spreading.

Something was going to get blown up. I was figuring my job since we just broke into it.
