“Trevor White.”

Simone scowled. “What about him?”

“Sawyer couldn’t find him. He disappeared after he escaped from the mercenary group.”

Great. So, her problem with Trevor was on hold until her ex-boyfriend found her again. Only a matter of time, she realized.

So be it. She’d be ready for him. All she had to do was find the little weasel and give the information to Jesse and his teammates.

She paused. She might be better off telling her boss instead of Jesse.

Simone thought about that for a few seconds, then rejected the idea. If she followed through on that plan, her husband-to-be would believe she didn’t trust him. She was no expert on marriage, but that didn’t seem like a good foundation to build their relationship as husband and wife. “I’ll see if I can find him online.”

“When you do, I want the information.”

“No problem.”

“You won’t argue with me?”

“Why would I? I want Trevor out of my life, and I don’t have the skills to make him leave me alone. If I did, I’d have already kicked him out of my life permanently. As it is, he’s like a bad penny, turning up when I least expect or want him. He won’t take no for an answer.”

“He will when I finish with him.”

She narrowed her eyes. “You won’t do anything against the law?”

“Do you care about him so much?”

“About him? No. I care about you, and I don’t want to visit you in prison for the next few years.”

His lips curved. “I’ll try not to get caught.”

“Trevor’s vindictive enough to press charges if he gets a chance.”

“He won’t.”

Hmm. Jesse had a plan. Good. Simone would leave the details to him. She didn’t care what happened to Trevor as long as he left her alone.

That reminded her. She had another problem to track down. Simone frowned.

“What’s wrong? Is the pain worse?”

“I have a leak to trace.”

“A leak?”

“It’s the only explanation for how Trevor keeps finding me. The most I’ve ever been able to escape his notice is a month.”

“And he found you again in Mexico after you’d only been there for a day. That’s a significant problem.”

“Especially since I didn’t tell anyone I was going to Mexico with you. How did he find me down there when I used a fake name?”

“Good question.”

“As soon as I’m back on US soil, I’m going hunting.”

“Not so fast. You can get back to your computer as soon as the doc gives you clearance. Not one minute before.”

She scowled. “It doesn’t take much energy to scour the Internet, Jesse.”
