“Not yet.” I roll my eyes, wondering how long it would take to fly over there and snuff them out.

Annoying, happy romantic people were...annoying.

Sweetheart, you don’t belong to me.

“Talk,” Josh ordered.

“Savannah Sinclair has a stalker, as you know. Three notes so far. All on the same card type. No prints. No DNA.” I summarize fast for the lovebird.

“They’re smart,” he said.

“The hotel knows nothing about the flowers, so he or she had them put in here themselves,” Aidan shared.

What?

He must’ve got through to the manager while I showered. I’d waited thirty minutes for him to arrive but had run out of time.

“Fuck,” I cursed.

“Do you think it’s someone in her team?” Josh asked.

I shake my head, even though I’m not certain. “I’m not sure. If not, it’s someone they trusted and let in. A few people had access to her room.”

I could ring Briar to ask, but it could also be her.

“Good point,” Aidan said.

“Does anyone in her team know this is happening?” Josh asked.

“No. We’ve kept this tight,” Aidan replied. “No cops. No media. Only her manager.”

I let out a sigh.

“So, what do we have in place right now?” Josh slurped his drink.

“Ryder on her personal detail. Two men on her property. The occasional extra backup, depending on her activities.” Aidan’s voice was muffled, as if resting his phone on his shoulder.

They both go quiet.

“You better served back in the office looking into this, Ry?” Josh asked.

No.

Fuck no.

“Marshall can take over. We have two new guys starting Monday, so I can shuffle bodies,” Aidan said.

I ground my teeth.

Savannah might not be mine, but the idea of not being near her...I realized my feelings were not appropriate here, but today was not the day to be talking about walking away from her.

Or tomorrow.

“I’d rather stay on point. I can study behaviors and pick up body language and nuances of her team and other people in her world that Savannah may be unaware of,” I said after a moment.

“Which Marshall can do. He’s a former Green Beret.” Josh slurped again.

And a flirt.
