Fear lodged itself in his heart. Moira and Declan couldn’t have arrived this quickly. “What’s wrong? Are you okay?”

“Quinn didn’t know I had this phone hidden.”

Danny had heard Quinn mentioned again. The hairs on the back of his neck stood on end. “What’s wrong?”

“He just left to meet Declan and Moira.”

Why was this important? “Start at the beginning and tell me what’s going on.”

“It’s Quinn. He held me hostage while Declan got Moira for him. Declan didn’t want to do it, but Quinn threatened me and the baby. He left me locked up in our flat and took my mobile. He didn’t know we had several burners hidden.”

Danny hadn’t listened to much afterDeclan got Moira for him. “Are you okay?” He had to think with a logical mind when his was spinning with revenge and getting his woman.

“I’m fine. The baby is restless, though. Then again, at this stage of my pregnancy, that’s pretty much a norm.”

One thing settled. “Tell me who this Quinn is?”

While Diana told him about Quinn Murphy, he jotted the name down on a piece of scrap paper before him and addedMoira in trouble, then handed it to Cowboy. His teammate never asked; he just picked up his phone and dialed. Danny knew it was to HQ.

“What happened to your security detail? Why did he leave you and where was he going?”

At this point, Danny was moving through the house, getting his gear together. Since they’d been protecting Moira, it was all handy.

“All I know is that Declan was to bring Moira someplace, and Quinn would meet him and do the exchange. Quinn told me there was a change in plans and he was leaving me to meet them. Declan would be free to drive back for me. Do you think he lied?”

Quite possibly, but he’d worry about Moira’s brother later. Moira was his priority. “I don’t know. We’re going to go after Moira. If Declan’s not with her, we’ll find him. Okay?” He needed to get off the phone so he could call HQ.

“But how will you find her?”

Danny grinned and didn’t care if he was called a stalker. It worked to his benefit tonight. Unless she’d changed clothes, her shoes had a tracker. “Oh, we’ve got ways. I’m going to go for now. Keep this phone and we’ll call you. Let us know if Declan returns.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” He ended the call and reached for Cowboy’s phone since he was on with HQ.

“Are you ready?”

“Hello to you too, Franks,” AJ said. “Devon is already researching Quinn Murphy. Go ahead with the rest.”

“Quinn held Diana captive and threatened her baby unless Declan brought Moira to a specific place.”

“Where?”

“I don’t know.”

“Why wasn’t she there with you and the team?”

“We think her brother told her something to turn her against us. It’s the only reason that makes sense.”

“Okay. How long have they been gone?”

“An hour and a half.”

“She could be anywhere.”

“Actually, we can locate her.”

“Good God, Franks, don’t tell me she’s wearing another tracker. Didn’t you learn when we made you get rid of the other one?”
