“Okay, thanks, we truly appreciate you watching him. I know you are busy on another case, and this was just a side thing, but if it wasn’t for you, we would have had no idea she was in danger.” Rem is winding up the call. “I’ll be in touch once we get a plan together.” Just a small pause and then he says goodbye and ends the call.

I feel like I’m about to climb out of my skin.

Before I even get to open my mouth, he places his hand on my shoulder and guides me further into the villa into a quiet bedroom and away from anybody else.

“Don’t lose your shit, just let me talk.” Rem stops in front of me.

“Get on with it then,” I growl, because I’m hanging on by a thread.

“Chester has started searching all of Harper’s family now, and Ashton’s team saw him exchange a bundle with a guy who is known to be associated with the dark and corrupt underworld in Chicago. We don’t know what was in that bundle, it could’ve been drugs, but it could’ve also been a passport. Ashton is trying to find that out, with the help of his people on the ground.”

Rem is looking at me with concern, and I’m sure it’s because of the rage he can see on my face.

“If he steps one foot in this country, then he will have to face me. I told you that getting a fake passport would be easy. Christ, if Harper could manage to get one for Felisha, then a guy who’s spent seventeen years in prison with men who know all the wrong people, then surely he can too. Even if this package wasn’t a passport this time, the next package will be for sure,” I bark in a low voice, even though I want to yell really fucking loudly.

“Calm the fuck down. Ashton won’t let that happen, but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be on alert. I’ll talk to the others and Sandon, but for now, it means that she can’t be alone. Ashton is working on a way to get Chester to step out of line so he can get him locked up again. Alleviate the problem.” I’m hearing Rem’s words, but it doesn’t mean I’m taking them in. Sure, having Chester back in jail would solve our problem, but I will never rest knowing that he is out there wanting a piece of Harper and her family.
