Though he wanted to go inside and confront Joey, he and Evangeline had agreed he’d lie low. So, they parked and waited, engine idling. Moments later, his phone rang.
He answered. “How’d it go?” he asked Evangeline.
“Good. I’m walking to my car.”
“I see you. Where is he?”
“He’s still in there. Earlier, he was checking out some women, so I encouraged him to stay. I don’t think he’s leaving anytime soon. Did you have any luck?”
What he had to tell her was too important to mention over the phone. “In a matter of speaking. How ‘bout you, babe?”
“I got pics.” He could hear the smile in her voice. “Let’s head back to your office so I can upload them.”
“We’ll be on your six.” He told Anton to follow her.
“I did learn something interesting,” she said as she pulled onto the street ahead of them. “He’s obsessed with you.”
“Me? He’s obsessed withme?”
“He kept asking me questions about you, about us. We’ll talk at the office,” she said and hung up.
As they followed her, he called Dakota.
“What’s the word?” Dakota asked.
“I need someone trailing Evangeline. This Joey creep is obsessed with her.”
“I don’t have anyone I can spare right now.”
“Then switch the guy from me to her. She’s in danger.”
“Sin.”
“Do it, Dakota.”
“You’re pissing me off.”
“I’ll be fine.”
“You fucking better be,” Dakota said and the line went dead.
He loved that his brother cared, but he needed Evangeline protected twenty-four seven.
They drove to Develin & Associates and parked inside his gated lot. After Anton escorted Sin and Evangeline into the building, he left to grab something to eat.
As soon as the elevator closed, Sin pulled her into his arms. “God, I missed the hell out of you.” The intensity in her kiss reminded him how much she meant to him.
The doors slid open and they broke apart. As they passed the conference room, Sin paused in the doorway. “Give me ten.”
Jacoby, Sanchez, and Erica acknowledged him.
“Do your employees ever go home?” Evangeline asked as they entered his office.
It was after eight, but the majority of associates were still working away. “We’re in high demand, plus, I delegated my caseload.”
When Evangeline started uploading the photos, Sin dropped the evidence bags on the conference table and eased down beside her.
She picked up the baggie of hairs and eyed the strands. “Sending these for a DNA test?”
