A noise slipped from Ellie’s throat as she eyed the desk. “I . . . umm . . . I’ll go pack.” Determined to keep her mind on work, she turned and walked out of the office.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

THINKING OF ELLIE AND THE NIGHT AHEAD, KADE HEADED UPSTAIRS to pack an overnight bag. He was going to Denver. He figured he would enjoy the trip, but he didn’t like the reason he had decided to go.

The idea of Ellie spending the night without him in Denver made him uneasy. He’d finally accepted that Heather had been cheating on her trips out of town. The notion of Ellie sleeping with another man sent a wash of fury into his blood.

He didn’t understand it. He wasn’t a jealous man.

Not until now.

But Ellie belonged to him—at least for a little while longer. As long as she was his, he wouldn’t tolerate another man’s hands on her. He wouldn’t play the fool a second time.

Kade strode into his bedroom and pulled down his leather overnight bag. He packed enough for a couple of days in case they needed to stay, grabbed his shaving kit, changed into his dark blue city jeans and a white western shirt, and grabbed his Stetson. He was zipping the bag when his cell phone rang.

He checked the screen but didn’t recognize the number. “Logan.”

“Mr. Logan, this is Earl Dunstan. Frank Keller’s cousin.”

“I know who you are. How did you get this number?”

“I got it from Charlie Flatt. I need to talk to you, Mr. Logan. I know who killed Frank. I know who hired him to come after you. Now the guy is trying to kill me, too.”

Kade frowned. “Why don’t you go to the sheriff?”

“I’m afraid he won’t be able to protect me. I need to get out of the country. I didn’t have anything to do with any of this. I didn’t even know Frank was causing trouble for you out at the ranch. He was just my cousin, so I gave him a place to stay. Now the guy who killed him wants to shut me up, too.”

“Who? Who are you talking about?”

“Meet me behind Flatt’s at midnight. Bring enough cash for me to buy a plane ticket and rent a place to stay till I can find a job. That’s all I want. I wouldn’t ask, but I got no choice.”

“Dammit, give me a name.”

“Flatt’s. Midnight.” Earl hung up the phone.

Kade left his suitcase on the bed and headed downstairs. Looked like his trip to Denver would have to be postponed.
