“I know they’ve got a tight security. We do too in distribution. My brother Foster has it set up on our servers. I’m going to text him to check into things for me while we are traveling.”

“But as you said, blind spots.”

“There is no way Fierce doesn’t have blind spots,” he said.

It was almost impossible to cover every inch of a place that big, from above and below.

“Ella’s husband, Travis, has a security company. He is the one who oversees it. He goes in and rotates cameras in new locations all the time. Usually once a week. Could be more than once a week if there is an issue. He can remotely control the cameras and change their angles at any time.”

“So can mine,” he said.

“But do you move those cameras?” she asked. “Fierce keeps several in place at all times but then know more are being added and moved and no one knows the location of them other than Travis and Mason? Ben doesn’t even know. Family only.”

“No,” he said. “I wish I knew that. It’s kind of brilliant. But I’ve got a lot of people working nights in the brewery. More than Mason does since we have more brews going than him and sell large quantities daily. It’s just a different model. He might be able to get away with it easier than I can.”

“You’d have to talk to Mason about it,” she said. “Which means you’d have to tell him why you are doing it and I’m not sure you want that, do you?”

“I’m not lying or covering anything up,” he said. “I’d never do that. I’m going to talk to Foster first and see if the guy he has set up to do it can take care of this or not.”

If not, he might reach out to Travis too and see if he’d travel this far or not. He was guessing he would if the money was right.

“I’m sorry this happened today,” she said, running her hand on his arm.

“I think it was meant to happen today. The question is why?”

“Do you think someone is out to sabotage you?” she asked. “Why now?”

“I don’t know,” he said. “As you’re aware, it’s a small town. People talk. I could have pissed someone off. No clue.”

“I find that hard to believe,” she said dryly. “It seems as if everyone loves you.”

“Not everyone,” he said, turning away.

The woman in the room he’d like to hear it from hadn’t said it once.

They’d been going strong for two months.

He felt more for her than he had anyone else in his life and yet she was cool as a cucumber on the eyes of a woman in a sauna right now.

Not much ruffled her feathers when she put her mind to it.

Even when she was out of her element, she stayed steady.

Like today.

Anyone in their right mind would be nervous about the flight they were getting on. Meeting so many of his extended family at once that were flying to New York with them.

She hadn’t said too much about it either.

She moved away from him. “Are you ready to go? I know it’s the last thing you want to do, but I’m set.”

She’d spent the night so they could leave for Fayetteville where they were getting on West’s private jet.

As far as he knew, most of his extended family who were traveling that way arrived in the area last night since the flight was scheduled to leave at ten.

“I have to put it from my mind,” he said.

“Which isn’t easy,” she said. “I wish I could take your mind off of it. Why don’t you tell me more about your family? I know I haven’t asked much, but the truth is, I’ve been so busy and the overload of information might not have been absorbed another time.”
