  50. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

“Fine,” Eddie snapped. “I work from the Deoch bar outside of Boston. I can be there by four tomorrow afternoon after I take care of some business here. Be there.” He clicked off.

Raider exhaled. “Well. There we go.”

Chapter Twenty-Four

Chapter Twenty-Four

Brigid was ready to explode by the time she and Raider reached her apartment. She’d kept her cool while saying goodbye to her father before Angus took him to a safe house. Sean hadn’t been happy with the idea until Angus had promised to keep him up-to-date on their progress, and had also given him a free pass for all the food and drink he could order.

It was better that Brigid didn’t know the location of the safe house, but still, she didn’t like it.

At the moment, however, she had a larger argument to mount. “I’m the one who needs to go into Eddie’s organization and hack a computer.” How could Raider be so stubborn that he didn’t realize that one simple fact? She unlocked her door and pushed it open.

“Wait here.” Keeping his hand on the butt of his gun, which was stuck in his waistband, Raider slid inside the apartment and checked every room. He returned to the door, his hand relaxing. “We’re clear.”

She only worried about surprise visitors at night. Sometimes the guys at the HDD were just too over-the-top. Of course, they’d all been shot and attacked more than once in their jobs. She was happy not to have any bullet holes in her, but still. Come on. She stepped inside and shut the door behind herself. “I need to go in on this one.”

“No,” Raider said, leaning against the wall and crossing his arms, as if settling in for a good fight.

Her skin pricked. Her throat heated, and her scalp tingled. Yep. Her temper was about to appear. “Listen, Raider. I’m part of this team, and I’m the computer expert. We have to gain access to Eddie’s computers, not remotely, and find where those poor girls are being brought in. There’s no other option.”

Neither his expression nor his stance changed. “The deal is with me, and Eddie knows I’d never send you in alone.”

“I don’t have to go alone. He knows we’re a team, and if you’re there to distract him, maybe I can get to a computer. In fact, he thinks I design little websites, so maybe he’ll let me do some work.” That wasn’t a bad plan.

Raider snorted. “That’s a terrible plan.” Pushing off the wall, he prowled into the kitchen and eyed the row of wine bottles set atop her cupboards. “Any of those full?”
