“Yeah, sorry. I didn’t dare to stay in the system for long in case I was detected, so I went straight to the date Winter was attacked, and the date she was rescued, on the off chance we might find an answer.” Taking a deep breath, he met my eyes. “There’s only one ID logged for the night you were attacked, which we have to assume was the guard. All the IDs are a long string of numbers, so I can’t match them up to names yet. The night you were rescued? Same ID. But that wasn’t the only one. Someone else was there, and the time they scanned in correlates with the rough time frame you were rescued, if we go by the time Kinslee got the phone call from the hospital.”
“But how do we find out who—”
“Wait,” he interrupted me. “I’m getting to that. That same ID has just scanned in at the docks. They literally did it as I was in the system, so they won’t have been there long. There’s one other ID already logged in, which I’m assuming will be the security guard, but that’s it.”
I gripped Caiden’s hand tighter, my heart rate speeding up. Were we about to come face to face with my potential rescuer?
“Fuck!” Weston exclaimed, holding up his phone. “The answers are coming thick and fast. Not only are we about to find out who rescued Winter, or at least, find out who else was there at that time, but Mercury has info waiting for me. He says he’s found out what Andromeda is.”
What?
Hope soared in me. At last, we were going to get some answers.
We sped towards the docks, and Cassius threw his SUV into the layby I’d parked in way back when I’d first come here to investigate.
“Everyone stay together. Stay cautious,” Caiden commanded in a low tone. “I’ve sent Z an SOS message, so he’ll be here soon.”
Moving stealthily towards the entrance, we fell into complete silence. Caiden kept hold of my hand the entire time but stayed in front of me, protecting me, while Cassius and Weston fell back in line behind me.
We could see the outline of the night guard in the hut, reclined in his chair, scrolling through his phone. It was easy enough to sneak past him and around to the long, low warehouse.
I sucked in a sharp breath, as all four of us stopped dead once we rounded the corner, staring at the figure that Caiden had almost run straight into.
My gaze travelled up, past the black boots, the jeans, the leather jacket, to the face, and our eyes met, mine widening in shock.
“You!”

That’s it…for now…
