Frankie’s expression grew serious and she looked over to Liam, silently offering him her phone.

I watched him out of the corner of my eye as I worked, trying not to worry. This was an answer, but it wasn’t the end. We still needed physical evidence to prove our theory. All these messages were still just circumstantial.

Someone like Francisco Lopez might be able to use it to incriminate her and win, but she was an omega and we still had no idea how she got in and out of the building undetected.

Liam handed Frankie her phone back without a word. Then he sighed and ran his hand through his hair, looking exhausted. “That explains a lot actually.”

Cas took the phone from Frankie and picked me up, sitting back down with me on his lap once more. I went right back to work, surprised that this already felt familiar. Comfortable even.

I didn’t think I’d be able to work with them constantly around, but I was glad I’d been wrong because this was a thousand times more satisfying than doing it alone.

“So, she used Dane to get information on Gideon, claiming it was for his safety and he had no reason not to believe her after two years of working together.” Cas gave Frankie her phone back and wrapped his arm around my waist.

I could feel just how conflicted he was.

Cas wanted to hate her, but he couldn’t because he understood. He knew exactly why she’d want to kill him because if that had been his child…it wouldn’t be just the sire paying for the crime but their whole family.

Which meant Liam was in danger too.

“We need to figure out what we’re going to do with her,” Cas murmured.

“And it was definitely Gideon’s?” Liam didn’t seem like he wanted to believe it and I could understand why.

This wasn’t exactly a clear-cut situation. Gideon was involved in a money laundering scheme with the Steele pack that Helen was apparently helping him with, and then she was also working with the Tinley pack, selling them extremely sensitive information about Valor Enterprises.

“It’s not clearly stated in the messages, but I’m pretty sure I can trace where this sonogram was taken. The original was cropped to hide their name, where the sonogram was done, and what their designation is, but…”

I clicked the metadata on the photo and highlighted the location before sending it to their phones.

“You have to take a screenshot to erase this kind of metadata and set it up so it doesn’t have all your information in here, but for whatever reason she didn’t.”

I copied the address and dropped it into another tab and the search bar pulled up a private omega clinic. “It’s lucky I’ve been to this one before so I already have a backdoor into their servers.”

“I’m sorry, do you just plant programs on every computer you get access to?” Cas demanded.

“I’m a private detective. This is easier than asking for confidential files I won’t be able to get a warrant for.” I logged in remotely to the clinic’s network and then searched for the appointments for the date the picture was taken. “I can’t use this as legal evidence, but it will tell me where I need to go for the legal shit.”

Going to another monitor, I opened the encrypted drive for the Valor investigation I shared with Frankie. I didn’t want to spend any more time in their environment than I needed to. Companies like this almost never had any decent cyber security which worked in my favor but I preferred to be thorough.

I didn’t need to get slapped with a felony for cyber-crimes.

Clicking through every person who came in that day, I bounced my knee up and down as the anticipation grew. This would give us a very clear motive. We even had proof that she’s been blackmailing him.

“This clinic takes progress pictures at every appointment,” I explained. “So even if she came here under a different name, we’ll be able to find her.”

When I got to her picture, I froze and Cas tensed in response. My heart started pounding and my hands were trembling as all the pieces finally fell into place.

This omega had blue hair and glasses just as I remembered, but the patient file wasn’t under the name Helen Moss.

It was under Helen Tinley.

CHAPTER 35

Liam

So. Helen Tinley was also Helen Moss. That made a lot of sense when I considered the timeline of events.

“He was seeing her for almost three years,” I stated, barely recognizing my own voice. “Only a few months after what happened with my mother.”
