The medic chuckled. “What’s the second thing you need, Liam?”

“Did Fortress install the alarm system in Wicks?”

“Two PSI trainees installed it under my supervision.”

“Cameras inside?”

“One facing the front door, another facing the cash register. I’m installing another camera at the back door tomorrow to deter a repeat of last night. Why?”

“I want your permission for Z to access the security footage from three weeks ago.” Liam explained about the break-ins at both houses and the man at Wicks.

“You think he’s the one who broke into your house?”

“Maybe. If we can identify him, I’ll be able to clear him if he’s not involved.”

“And if he is?”

A grim smile curved Liam’s mouth. “I’ll have a starting point, won’t I? If he wants me bad enough to try for Piper while I’m on a mission, he won’t go far.”

“Tell Zane to check the security feeds. I want to know what he learns.”

“Copy that. Thanks, Matt.”

“Yep. I have to go. My trainee class is waiting. Don’t be a hero, Liam. If you need us, we’re there.”

“I hear you.” He ended the call.

“You think Jerome broke into your house?”

“I’ll find out.” He made another call, this time to Zane at Fortress. “It’s Liam. Need another favor.”

“Before you tell me what you need, I have information for you. Is Piper with you?”

Piper straightened at his grim tone. “I’m here.”

“What’s wrong, Z?” Liam asked as he wrapped his hand around Piper’s.

“Gino Romano and Matteo Barone are more than childhood friends.”

Piper’s stomach lurched. “What are you saying?”

“I’m sorry, Piper, but law enforcement suspects your uncle is laundering money for Barone.”
