He grabbed her by the hair and lifted, shoving her into the desk chair. “Sit here and shut up for a minute.” He patted her injured leg, and she gasped, leaning forward as the pain attacked her again. He laughed. “You’re going to be fun. I can already tell.” He reached in his pack, turned, and carefully set up another device.

Tears slid down her face and her nose started to run. She grabbed a tissue from the desk, struggling since her hands were bound. “How did you find me, anyway?” Telling him about herself hadn’t helped, but maybe if he talked about himself, she could buy a little more time.

He finished with the device and zipped up the backpack. “Once I knew about you and had a couple of pictures of you and Wolfe from the wedding, it was easy. A quick search online, and your interview with Angus Force came up.”

Oh yeah. After they’d caught the Senator, she’d immediately taped an interview with Force. “So you figured that I was working with Angus Force.”

“No. I figured that Wolfe was working with Force, and you were dating Wolfe.” Gary turned around and tossed his pack into the corner. “It was a surprise to see you leaving Force’s office.”

“You followed me from there?”

“Yes. I stayed far enough away that you wouldn’t notice and then parked, running a few miles until I found these two bungalows. It took a couple of tries, to be honest.” He looked around the room. “This area is too small.”

She was going to puke, but she set the tissue down and smoothly grasped a blue pen. “Why did you kill Candy?”

He moved to the closet to open it. “Wolfe doesn’t have any good sex toys, does he?”

Her stomach heaved. “No,” she croaked.

“Shoot.” Gary shut the closet door. “I killed Candy because she was yet another nosy bitch, like you, and she deserved to die. Like you,” he added, almost as an afterthought.

“What about Theresa Rhodes? You must understand love.”

He chuckled. “Love? No. Her mind impresses me, and she has a hell of a body as well as excellent contacts in the heroin trade.” His gaze darkened. “Unfortunately, she’s smart enough to have planted evidence that will hang me if she’s ever harmed. Guess she thought I might kill her at some point.”

Now that was terrifying. Dana tried again. “You must feel something for her.”

“Sure, but she makes stupid mistakes.” He shrugged. “Or maybe just untrained ones.”

Dana swallowed. “Like hiring those two guys to shoot at me after the Captive party or hiring the two gangbangers to take me out after I identified my friend’s body?” Her stomach lurched.
