“Right. That might be the problem.”

“Maybe you should go back to Montana and check things out,” I said.

He harrumphed. “No can do, brother.”

“Why?”

“All of us, including Lace, have been told not to leave the state of New York.”

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.”

“Nope. I just got that news while you were in flight. I was going to tell you first thing tomorrow.”

“How are we supposed to do our work?”

“Beats the hell out of me, but Morgan says they’re close to making an arrest.”

“Then we’ve got to move faster,” I said. “Which we may be able to do.”

“What do you mean?”

“Zee is with me.”

Silence for a moment.

Then, “Did you…”

“Of course not!” I raked my fingers through my hair. “I’ve hardly touched her, and she came to me. She said she’s ready to talk.”

“Nicely done,” Rock said. “And thanks. For not…”

“Do you all think I’m nothing but a complete asshole?”

“No. But—”

“You do.” I sighed. “I guess I haven’t done a lot to prove you wrong. I learned from the best.”

“Hey,” Rock said. “None of us thinks you’re a carbon copy of Dad.”

“Right.”

“We don’t. But you learned at his side, so business-wise, you’re used to getting what you want at any price.”

I couldn’t deny his words. “Whatever. We need to find out who made that call from my office to your place in Montana. I swear to God it wasn’t me.”

“We all believe you.”

“Do you?”

“Of course. Your ass is on the line just like all of ours. We’re in this together, Reid. We have to trust each other.”

“Good.”

“Once Zee tells her story to Morgan, they’ll search our building from top to bottom.”

“And they won’t care what they destroy in the process,” I added.

“Right. So we need to find Dad’s shit first. He may have destroyed the bottom floor after Roy saw it. Which means he and Father Jim found a new place.”

“Right.”

“Damn.” Rock rubbed his temple. “We need to find out what that sicko priest is hiding. But Morgan is keeping us all busy with this nonstop questioning.”

“Why exactly is he talking to all of us again?”

“I don’t know. Like I said, he didn’t really ask anything new. But he’s got something up his sleeve. I can feel it.”

I felt it too. It was like an icicle had dropped into my shirt and freezing shards were spiking into me all over.

Something was going down.

And it wasn’t going to be good.

“All right. Let’s touch base in—”

I jerked when someone knocked on my door.

Monique would use the intercom, so it could only be…

“Hold on for a minute,” I said to Rock.
