“Right.” Eddie rolled his shoulder back and winced. “That tumble down the mountain yesterday was a bruiser.” He rubbed his upper arm. “How’s your head?”

Perfect opening. “It’s fine. A little dizziness, but nothin’ I can’t handle.” As if to emphasize his point, Raider leaned back against the stair railing.

“Tough man.” Eddie’s nod came with a grin of what appeared to be approval. “Okay. Back to business. With cash, we obviously need to take more time and use even more businesses. It’s easier to keep from getting caught, but it’s a lot harder to accomplish for that reason. How much cash do you want to move?”

“Let’s just work on one project at a time,” Raider said, counting the computers in the room. He needed to get his watch into one at some point. There were several empty consoles, but he couldn’t just sit down and start typing, could he?

“Fair enough,” Eddie said. “By the way, where’s the evidence I want?” His eyebrows wriggled. “Does the pretty redhead have it?”

Raider scoffed. “Of course not. It’s still with my friend, who’s unreachable.”

Eddie shrugged. “Yeah, it’s not the insurance policy you think. I’m not too worried about the evidence.”

In other words, Eddie might still shoot him in the head. But the senator was worried, and that might or might not matter to Eddie.

Raider glanced at Jonny P, who hadn’t stopped watching him since he’d arrived. The guy definitely wanted to take a piece or two out of Raider’s hide. “I think he likes me.”

Eddie smiled.

“What’s up with the explosives outside the door?” Raider had clocked enough to blow up the entire building.

“The whole room on every side is wired,” Eddie said easily. “Can’t have this kind of evidence in the cops’ hands, now can we?” He shot Jonny P a hard look. “We had a cop infiltrate our organization a year or so ago, and I’ve never forgotten the betrayal.”

Every cell in Raider’s body went cold as ice. “Is that so? What happened to the guy?”

“Jonny P took care of him,” Eddie said, gesturing carelessly.

Raider barely kept a snarl from ripping his lip. “Interesting. How did you find out? I’m always watching over my shoulder with my enterprises.”

“People make mistakes. Anybody leading two lives always has a trail back to their real one.” Eddie watched a big screen in the corner. “For instance, your woman’s father. He’s on the run, but I’m gonna find him.”

No, he wasn’t. But that didn’t mean he’d fail to find Brigid’s real life. “I’m sure you will,” Raider said. “Unless, of course, those explosives accidentally detonate. That happens, you know.”

Eddie just grinned.
