Page 66 of One More Chance

For all she knew, he could be kidnapping people and trapping them in this secret silo so he could do…whatever. Prepare for the apocalypse. After all, he was a crazy person who thought he could do whatever he wanted.

Because theDominatushad given him license to do that.

Maizie said, “There’s a little more, but you’re not going to like it. I asked Bruce about what I found, but he’s gone radio silent. Like finding that dead cop was a favor, and now he doesn’t owe us anything.”

“Maybe he doesn’t.”

He’d handed her over to their enemy in order to solve a problem, just not in a way that made sense to her in the moment. He’d also been shot for it. But that was months ago, and they’d talked it through. They were good now, right? Hopefully, not back to keeping secrets from each other.

“What am I not going to like?” Kenna tried to move her head, but it just pounded more.

“The law firm that took on Terri Fleming’s case? None other than our friends.”

“Hann, Anthony, and Associates.”

“Bingo,” Maizie said. “They arrived at the hospital on the night she was admitted and argued she wasn’t a flight risk at her bail hearing. She was released from jail, pending the prosecutor’s assessment of her case since she accused her partner of stealing her work. They need to work through the whole embezzlement and the he said, she said part of the entire thing.”

The lawyers at that office had said they didn’t know anything about Terri when Kenna had mentioned it.

Which meant they’d lied to her.

“What about Marshal Hapsworth?” There was a solid chance he’d either disappeared of his own volition or was currently missing.

Maizie said, “The cops talked to him at his Scottsdale mansion two days ago. He was cooperative. The DA is deciding whether to file charges.”

“They just knocked on his door and informed him he might be going to jail?” Kenna frowned, which, of course, hurt.

“It was reported as an interview on behalf of the prosecutor working Fleming’s case.”

“And he’s healthy, alive, and currently findable right now?”

Maizie chuckled. “You need to rest. But yes. I’ll keep an eye on him.”

“Good plan.” Best to be cautious and stay safe. Sometimes, people even loosely connected to her tended to have a bad time. To get caught up in the case. So far, Jax had come through everything unscathed, but maybe this was only the beginning.

They hadn’t even tried to take downDominatusyet. If she went after them at full throttle, she could lose everything. Again.

“Jax is coming down the hall to you.”

Kenna said, “Thanks.”

“Bye.” Maizie hung up the phone.

Kenna turned to the door, but another couple of FBI agents came in, not her husband. One frowned at her.

“What?”

He said, “You don’t look so hot.”

“Because you know how I normally look?”

“It’s an expression.” He turned and leaned out the door. “Boss, she needs a hospital.”

Kenna called out, “No, I don’t!”

The other agent was a woman with gorgeous dark skin and brown hair that framed her face. Her lips curled up at the corners, but then she clocked the state of Kenna’s face and winced. “I’m Special Agent Andrette Herron.”

“Nice to meet you.” They shook hands.
