“How’s it going?”Josh asked.
Reggie stopped the video he was watching and leaned his large body back in the chair, crossing his right ankle over his left knee. Then he clasped his hands behind his head. A wide grin spread across his lips.
“Well, if the videos I’ve watched are any indication of what’s to come, I’d say your hunch is right, and we’ll probably come up with something soon.”
“Really? What have youfound?” Hope swelled in his chest.
“Not much. Just little things. Body language, the way Claudia watches the others like a hawk.” He shrugged. “Could be that she’s just a nosy woman, but I’ve got a feeling there’s more to it. She’s really focused on Riley. Lookie here.” He rewound the video and pressed play.
Josh watched Claudia eyeing Riley as she walked away, her eyes running up and down thelength of Riley’s body. She narrowed her eyes, and a sneer curled her thin lips.
Reggie turned it off again and sat back. “Might be nothing, but I’ve seen women look that way before, and trust me, it’s never a good thing.”
“You must really have a solid grip on people by now, huh?” Josh asked. “What’s your take on Riley?”
“With all due respect, Josh, until we have a definite answer, I thinkI’ll reserve my right to pass judgment.”
Pass judgment? On Riley?That flash of anger that had surprised Josh over the last few days rose within him again. He crossed his arms to keep it reined in. Did he think Riley was up to no good? Did he see something in her Josh did not?
“Don’t get yourself all riled up,” Reggie said. “She’s your other half at the moment. I don’t want to say anything untilI’m certain.”
At the moment?“Okay, fair enough,” Josh said.
“I’d like to work through the evening if you don’t mind, since the holiday’s coming up so fast. I’ve got their passwords to get into their files. You can leave me here if you have plans. Is there a security guard who can lock up?”
Josh scrubbed his face with his hand. “I’ll stick around.”
“Suit yourself. Oh, and your sister saidto tell you, ‘Don’t even think about not coming home on Wednesday.’” Reggie turned back to the computer.
“Oh, I plan on it, unless this mess explodes in our faces.”
