Page 61 of The Killer Who Kept Me

I helped wherever I was needed. Sometimes it was assisting Martha with food schedules because between babies, kids, and teens, and the constant rotation of Saros’s people, everyone ate at different times.

There was very little I could do to help Saros. I didn’t know how to fire a gun, I wasn’t knowledgeable in hand-to-hand combat, and unless they needed to know where something was in Eastbury or how to get from one place to another in this town unseen, I wasn’t going to be very helpful.

“Em!” Benny shouted, and I handed the brownies off to Martha to see what he wanted.

“Did you need something?”

“Yeah, come with me.”

I followed Benny into Saros’s study. It was full of people—not all of his guys, but a lot. Benny guided me through the crowd to Saros. I hadn’t seen him in a few hours, and I realized how much I missed him as soon as his blue eyes were on me.

“Where’ve you been?” he asked as he wrapped me in his big arms.

“Helping.”

“Of course you were. Well, now I need your help.”

That surprised me because I wasn’t sure what I could do. “Sure, I’ll do my best.”

“When I was trying to find you after what went down at The Sky, we couldn’t. We tracked you, but then it was like you disappeared.”

I nodded. “Because I didn’t want you to find me.”

He honest-to-God booped my nose. “And that’s why I need you.”

“You lost me.”

He laughed. “It was actually you losing me that made me realize you’ll be more helpful than anyone.” He clicked a button on a remote. “The penthouse in Lincoln. Frazee is there andlikely with Ramsey; that much I was able to find out. Problem is, we see them enter but never leave.”

“Okay, weird. I mean if you were going to leave undetected, why not arrive that way too?”

He shrugged. “No idea, but the goal here is to get one or both of them as they leave. Once they’re in the building, it’s harder to grab them.”

“I still don’t know how I can help you.”

“Ramsey had you running everywhere for pickups, right?”

“Uh-huh.”

“In Lincoln too?”

I don’t know why it was taking me so long to catch on, but I finally did. “Lincoln too.”

He beamed. “So, if you were trying to not be seen leaving this building, how would you do it?”

I took the tablet he offered. “Click these to decide the best angle. It’s got 3-D and 4-D settings here.” Mike gave me a quick overview and the tablet, and I took it to the couch and played with it.

He’d marked where all the street cameras were, as well as any building and storefront security cameras, which was insanely helpful.

The first thing I needed to figure out was where they were leaving from. There was a garage—which, sure, they could use, but the car would be seen entering and leaving, and from what I could tell from the twenty videos Saros had on the television, they were entering through the main entrance.

That didn’t mean they weren’t leaving from the garage, though. I pressed a few buttons and laughed when there was an X-ray graphic of the garage.

“Very cool,” I whispered.

“Right?” Mike winked. He was sitting on the couch too, watching something else. I hadn’t heard him join me.

I looked briefly at what he was doing, then back to my screen…Wait a second. “That’s it.” I pointed to Mike’s tablet.
