Roman sighed. “Nothing. And it’s strange. Usually people have something bad to say about a person. No one is a saint and yet there is nothing about him.”

“He’s too aboveboard,” Salem said.

“Exactly,” Roman said. “Think we should ask Riordan about him?”

“No, I don’t want him to know we’re looking into him. I managed to get him off my case by saying that Ryiad was considering a trap for Pinky, but I don’t want him thinking that we’ve turned our attention away from Pinky to O’Connor. Besides, they’re half-brothers, he might feel more loyalty to O’Connor than the truth.”

Roman nodded. “I’ll keep looking into him on the side.”

The doorbell rang and she frowned.

The guys were all at a meeting at headquarters. They weren’t happy about leaving her behind on her own, but Evette was here.

Besides, she knew they were all still upset about their last work mission. They hadn’t told her what had happened and she wondered if it was abouthim.

It had to be, right?

However, she didn’t know how to figure that out. She couldn’t ask the guys and frankly, the idea of searching for the information made her feel ill.

And she couldn’t askhim.

Although it made her very nervous that he hadn’t messaged her for an update or information or had one of his lackeys berate her in . . . days. Maybe longer.

Shit.

The doorbell rang again. Where was Evette?

Shrugging, she headed toward the door. She could hear the vacuum going upstairs.

Uh, Evette probably had her headphones on. She was a big country music fan.

Tamsyn checked the peephole.

Huh. That was odd.

She opened the door. “Hi, what are you doing?—”

She didn’t even see it coming . . . which she was going to be embarrassed about later.

The pinprick to her neck filled her with horror as she slumped forward, right into his arms.

“Time to go home, bitch.”

Noooo!

Her scream was silent though as darkness overtook her.

Salem glanceddown at his phone as Evette rang it.

For the second time.

“Is there something we’re keeping you from, Salem?” Riordan asked.

He was such a dick sometimes.

“Yes, actually. I have to take this.” He left the room, aware that Alexei and Roman followed him.
