“He can’t send the footage to the detectives. Wouldn’t that look suspicious?”

“He’s sending it to Stella. She’s former FBI with law enforcement credentials a mile long. Stella will share the information with the detectives.”

Trent nodded. “Smart.”

“We need to find Brandy.” Talking to Brandy again was not appealing on any level. If she knew something about Gavin’s situation, though, Piper would handle the awkward situation to obtain answers.

What if something had happened to Brandy, too? Although their friendship had fallen apart, Piper didn’t want Brandy hurt by the person who killed Gavin.

“Would Gavin hit on more women if Brandy was with him?” Liam asked.

Piper frowned. “Not if she was staying here at the resort. She could catch him in the act.”

“Brandy might be staying somewhere else,” Matt said. “Doesn’t make sense, though. If they planned to flee the country, wouldn’t she stay in the room with him so they could leave as soon as he hid the information?”

Piper straightened and glanced at Liam. How could she have forgotten? “The envelope. I forgot about it while I waited for you.”

He swallowed the last bite of cake and crouched by Piper’s side. “Let’s take a look.”

Liam unlaced her boot, slid it from her foot, and grabbed the white envelope. He handed her the envelope.

This was the moment where her belief in her uncle was confirmed or her foundation was torn away. With growing dread, Piper pulled out the piece of paper stuffed inside and unfolded the last message from Gavin.

As she scanned the contents, her heart sank. How could Gavin do this? Liam was right. Problems like these never had an easy solution. Now, instead of handing off the information to the feds, she would have to go into the lion’s den. Worse, Liam would never let her do this alone which meant he’d be in more danger than ever.
