“How long have you worked here, Richard?” Rafe asked.

“Two weeks.”

“Noticed anything odd?”

“I don’t know. Maybe.”

“Explain.”

“I worked with another security company before WS. I’ve never known of other security employees showing up on my shift when they’re not scheduled to work at this location.”

“Did you catch their names?”

He grimaced. “No.”

Jackson’s eyebrows rose. “What night did they show up?”

“Every night since I started work.” He frowned. “What good will knowing that do you?”

“You’d be surprised what we learn by asking the right questions.”

Kristi smiled. A great answer that told Richard nothing. When they exited the elevator and the guard walked them to the door, Kristi said, “Thanks for your assistance, Richard. I’ll be sure to mention your help to my father.” If they found him.

Once they were inside Rafe’s SUV, she asked, “How will we find my father, Rafe? You said his phone was turned off. What’s left?”

“Call Ward. See if your father showed up for his dinner meeting. If he can leave the headquarters building without security knowing, he can get inside undetected, too. Once you talk to Ward, we’ll access the security cameras at your father’s office building.”

Kristi grabbed her phone and called Hugh. When he answered, she said, “Did Dad meet you for dinner tonight?”

A snort from the man. “No. He didn’t even call to cancel the appointment.”

“Dad’s missing.”

“What?”

“His office is a mess, and there’s blood on the floor in there as well as his private elevator.”

“I’m sorry. How can I help?”

“Call me if you hear from him or from someone who’s seen him tonight.”

“Of course. Call me when you find him.”

“Sure.” She ended the call. “Dad never showed up,” Kristi told the operatives.

“I’ll contact Fortress,” Jackson said.

Rafe glanced at his teammate in the rearview mirror. “Call Jon. He’s faster than anyone on staff except Zane. We’ll go back to Kristi’s until we have a place to start tracking Stewart.”

“The police won’t be able to do anything, will they?” Kristi turned to look at Rafe.

“They’ll do what they can. Since we don’t worry about red tape or mind computer hacking, we can follow the trail faster.”

From what she’d seen, Jon was skilled on the computer. But would he be able to locate her father or give Wolf Pack a starting point in time to save her father?

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

Rafe escorted Kristi up the walkway to her home where Eli met them in the living room. “Anything?” he asked his team leader.
