He nodded absently, still staring at the long list. Her theory was based purely on supposition, not much more than a guess. Still, as guesses went, it was a good one. He could float with it for a little while. “Almost all of the other business names could represent elements in a girl’s life as she grows up, so yes. I’ll leave my mind open to other possibilities, but for now let’s assume that LJM is a person and all these company names describe her in some way. We’ll run with it for a little while. If we don’t get anywhere, we’ll start back at the beginning.”

“Okay.” Then she frowned. “But why would they name all these companies after LJM, whoever she is? You said that the shell companies were hard to untangle, which suggests that they have something to hide. But if they’ve named all these companies after a person, that’s not very stealthy.”

“No, it’s not.” He shifted to study her confused expression, wanting to understand her thought process. He had the feeling that her brain was as beautiful as the outside of her. “So why do it?”

“I’m guessing that they’re either clever or stupid. Assuming that they’re clever, they’ve decided to hide in plain sight.” She glanced at him. “Right?”

“Makes sense. Somehow LJM links to Brewer, because they bought his house. But if LJM is a person and not actually a company, then that narrows our search for a connection.”

Her pleased smile was quick, then gone as she returned her attention to his laptop. “‘BittyBaby Mama’ and ‘Skating Princess’ have me thinking of little girls, but ‘varsity’ in ‘LG Varsity Dancing Divas’ indicates she was in high school. Or maybe both? Maybe LJM grew up?”

“With you so far. What does the ‘LG’ stand for?” Scanning the list, he thought he knew, but he wanted to see if she’d come to the same conclusion.

Dani ran her finger down the list, stopping at the name he’d noticed. “Here’s a company called ‘LaGrange Lacrosse Laurels.’ So maybe the ‘LG’ in ‘LG Varsity Dancing Divas’ means LaGrange. High school girls also play lacrosse, so it doesn’t contradict ‘varsity.’ Maybe LJM was a lacrosse player at LaGrange High School? Is LaGrange a place?”

Adrenaline had Diesel’s skin tingling as he opened a new browser tab and did the search. “It is, up in Lorain County, near Cleveland.”

“Makes sense.” She snapped her fingers and pointed again. “This business is called ‘Geneva OTL Getaway.’ Geneva-on-the-Lake is a resort town near Cleveland.”

“I’ve been there. It’s nice. And I agree with everything you’ve said so far. But why did you say that LJM is or was?”

Dani shrugged. “Because you said that all the companies link from LJM to Raguel the vengeance dude.”
