“Stop worrying and take off. We’ll see you tomorrow at the airport,” Neil said, kissing Cain’s cheek. “I’ll take care of my little sister.”

“You remember to keep your cool tonight.” Fin hugged her again.

“Believe me, I’m doing that even if I rupture something trying to keep it together.”

Chapter Six

Finley had Neil drive her to the parking lot of the shopping center at the end of Canal Street where she’d left her car. Her life was different with Cain but gave her more time with Abigail and the kids. “I’ll meet you at the bar close to Carrollton at six. Remember to bring everything, and make sure Shaun does the same.”

“We got it covered, and this is some serious shit if they went through Hannah. Cain should deal with it in a more permanent way.” Neil tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and stared straight forward. “I remember when Emma brought her home and how Cain fell in love with that little girl. Using her to bring her mother down isn’t right.”

“We have to find out who is behind this before she decides on a course of action. These aren’t the type of people you’re used to, but I agree with you. Hannah or any child shouldn’t be used like that.” She’d examined the bug the woman calling herself Taylor had left. It wasn’t anything you could buy on Amazon. It was sophisticated and complex, and there was only one organization that used this kind of stuff. That led her to believe her old employer was using questionable tactics, but maybe Cain had finally driven them to break the rules.

“No, that’s true. Juan Luis was an asshole like I’ve never seen, but he stayed away from the kids. His big weakness was Emma. Who goes after a child?”

“We’re somewhere between someone like that and the people I used to work for. That scares me more than a thousand Juans.” Someone working on the outskirts of the law usually felt everything was okay as long as they brought down whoever they were after. She’d met agents like that, but they didn’t last long.

“You think the feds would do some shit like this?”

“That’s what we’re trying to figure out. The more answers we have, the better the response we can plan. Don’t be late tonight.” She watched him drive away and waited ten minutes before driving home.
