“You too.” I hung up, still cursing. Damn. Mornings were almost always quiet. Why did today have to be different?
* * *
It was ninety minutes before I got back to the fire station and was able to check my phone to see if Kennedy had sent any updates. There were no messages from her, but there was one from Nate.
Nate: Braddock family working bee at Grace’s place tonight. We’re going to clean up the spray paint and check for any weak spots in the cottage’s security because the asshole managed to avoid being caught on camera.
I sent a quick reply.
Liam: Thanks for organizing. I’ll be there as soon as my shift ends.
I pocketed my phone and returned to duty.
The rest of the shift seemed to drag. Whether it was because of my impatience to finish, or just because it was a slow day, I didn’t know, but by the time my twelve hours were done and I clocked out, every instinct I had was screaming at me to get to Kennedy and make sure she was all right.
I drove straight to Grace’s place, noting a number of Braddock family vehicles parked along the frontage, and headed up the path to the cottages. The left one stood empty, the door open, but the right one, where Kennedy was staying, was a hive of activity. The door looked to have been freshly painted, and Grace was sitting on the top stair, clad in paint-flecked overalls. Nate and Toby were messing with the camera I’d installed on the front porch. I raised a hand to greet them as I approached.
“Hey, bro,” Toby said. “Connor couldn’t make it, and Dad is at work. The others are inside.”
I gave him a one-armed hug and did the same with Nate, then reached down to touch Grace’s shoulder. “Thanks. I appreciate it.”
“No big deal.” Nate’s expression was dark. “It pisses me off that we haven’t got the jerk locked up yet though.”
“You’re doing the best you can. It’s not as if you have many resources.”
He scowled. “Yeah. I’d like a few more, but it’s hard to get manpower for a stalking case.”
“It’s just wrong,” Grace said. “Everyone should have a right to safety and privacy.”
“I know, Gracie.” Nate sighed. “But some fuckers just don’t understand that, especially when it comes to celebs.”
