  63. ABOUT THE AUTHOR
  64. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

She watched him consider the task. He looked at the dead guy in the doorway, then to Mia Takano on a gurney, and then to Livie Harp, pacing in the kitchen. The only other involved people, Nye and Chevy, were still in the media room. Dr. Peel was on her way. Bronwyn didn’t want Chevy out in the living room as long as the body was in the doorway. Apparently Chevy had been in the room when the big man came to the door. She witnessed the attack on Takano through the front window before being dragged to the media room by Nye. While she hadn’t seen the actual shooting of the big guy, she was rattled by all the gunfire and the attempt to take her by force.

“Okay. I’ll need to talk to Bronwyn and Harp.”

Harp stepped out of the kitchen. “Talk away, but be quick about it. We need to get searching.”

“Why were you here?” Steve asked.

“I came to help shore up their security,” Harp said. “I knew Chevy was in danger.”

“I, for one, am glad she was here,” Bronwyn added. “I’m not sure I would have acted quick enough after Mia went down.”

“She was a big help,” Takano chimed in. Medics were taking her out through the kitchen so as not to have to go over the dead guy in the doorway. They paused to let her finish. “She knew right away that something was off with those two guys on the intercom. Told Nye to be ready to get Chevy into the media room. Then she kept that big guy from getting any farther than the front door.” The medics continued on their way out with the wounded agent.

“Ms. Harp?”

“I told Chief O’Rourke I was worried about the girl. I found out she was hiding here by digging around the web. I was certain Cyrus Beck would find her as well.”

Steve glanced at Tess.

“She came by my house to warn me last night. But I thought Bass would maybe move the girl and it would no longer be my problem.” She’d quickly explained about the incident at the market.

Steve nodded, returned his attention to Harp. “How did you find her?”

“I’m good with computers. It’s how I make my living.”

“You’re a hacker,” Tess said, realizing now how Harp found Chevy.

Harp shrugged. “I’m a World Wide Web expert.”
