“Yes, we do.” She pulled a file from her backup briefcase and handed it over the desk to Grey. “This is all I have with me. I have more at home I can send you.”
Grey flipped the file open. “What’s in here?”
“The Lamaze lady. Her name is Kristina Caldwell. Matt had planned to look into her this morning before we both got sidetracked.”
Grey rolled his desk chair so he could look at Teeg behind the screen. “Nerd Boy, see what you can find on Kristina Caldwell.”
“I heard her,” Teeg said. “I’m on it.”
Grey rolled back to his desk. “This is why Teeg makes the big bucks.”
“My ass!” Teeg said. “Hang on. Here we go. She pays her taxes on time, has a big mortgage and some small credit card debt. Now, this is kinda interesting.”
Taylor pushed out of her chair and swung wide of the screen so she could see Teeg. “What is it?”
“She’s registered as a volunteer at Hearts of Love Adoptions. Call me crazy but I’d say that’s some interesting irony. A Lamaze teacher working at an adoption agency?”
Matt joined Taylor. “What kind of volunteer work?”
“Give me a minute. I’m good, but not that good. All I’ve got is art. And it’s buried. Here we go. It’s a photo of her at an event. The caption says she’s a volunteer.”
“Teeg,” Grey said as he jotted notes, “is Hearts of Love on that list of agencies Mitch and Caroline are working?”
While Teeg’s fingers flew, Mitch shook his head. “Not ringing a bell. We may not have gotten to it yet, though.”
What was this about Mitch and Caroline working with adoption agencies? Matt held his hands out. “What are we talking about?”
Grey sat back in his chair and stacked his hands on his head. “My statement about the Jarvis case crossing paths with one of ours isn’t far off the mark. We’re investigating a black market adoption ring. We’re using Mitch and Caroline as prospective adoptees.”
Mitch as a father? Now that was scary.
“Nada!” Teeg shouted. “Hearts of Love is clean, so far. All positive reviews. That doesn’t always mean anything. I’ll dig around in the law enforcement databases. See what I can find.”
Grey wrote himself another note. “Timing?”
“Am I Chris Angel here? This shit takes more than 3.5 seconds.”
Holy hell. If Matt talked to one of the sisters that way—not that that would ever happen—they’d crucify him. The Justice Team definitely had their own set of whacky rules.
Matt glanced at Taylor. “Let’s give Teeg time to sort this out. Meantime, you ride shotgun with me.”
“Where?”
“Kristina Caldwell’s. We’ve got a baby to find and you said she’s at the top of your list. Let’s go talk to her. See what she remembers about Baby Jarvis.”
