“Good luck, Son,” Tony said.
Gabby wasn’t feeling well, and the man she was starting something with could see that.
“I’ll be good,” he said, not sure what this was about, but he’d do whatever was needed to keep Gabby here with him.
When Tony dragged Gabby away, Elizabeth stared into his eyes, and only asked one question.
“Do you love her?”
Finn didn’t hesitate.
He nodded.
“Yes.”
Elizabeth asked even more questions.
“And how does she feel about you?” she asked, waiting for his reply.
“Well, she said she feels the same. Am I to assume that’s not accurate?” he asked.
She stopped him.
He was getting testy.
“Don’t get your panties in a bunch, Detective Inspector. She’s family, and I’m going to protect her. If you take this on, Fineas McKnight, you do it right.”
He blinked.
“Did you just first name me?”
He’d better bet his bippy she did.
She was to the point.
“I didn’t send two people I care about to that country without doing my legwork. I investigate serial killers, so assume that I investigated you.”
Oh, boy.
“I know about your parents, your seven sisters, and all of your hobbies and intricacies. I know that you shun tech, that you like to run, and that you’re good at your job.”
Well, she certainly researched him.
“I wanted to make sure that Anthony, who is my brother from another mother, and Gabby, my friend and hacker, would be safe there.”
“Let me guess. Graham?” he asked.
She shook her head.
“I have a far reach,” she admitted. “The FBI has connections to the NCA. Your National Crime Agency employs a few friends of mine.”
This woman was scary, and it threw him off because she was literally getting a pedicure.
Elizabeth was to the point.
“Her ex abused her. Hurt her, and broke her. I happen to love her because she’s part of my team. If you do this, you finish it.”
“Or?”
