“Maybe not as long as you think.” James smiled. “GWI has some of the best lawyers around the globe on retainer.”
“The FBI and Interpol are rounding up the rest of the conspirators. Seven in all.”
“Just seven?” He couldn’t imagine a crime of that magnitude being pulled off by so few. “Surely Moody’s operation would need a much bigger group. How else was he able to keep the embezzling undetected for so many years?”
“Actually, Jay, it makes sense in a way,” James said. “Moody didn’t trust anyone. “But logistically, he still would need a huge team to move the funds.”
The detective nodded. “Moody did have more people engaged, but they were just GWI employees following orders from above, according to Gonzales. We’re going to check them all out just to be sure.”
“Is Paul Links one of the seven?” Clay asked him.
“No, but he was on the longer list of employees that were in the dark but part of the operation.”
After hearing what Janice said about Links, he had no trouble believing that. Moody had likely promoted the man to funnel all the money through his department without Link’s knowledge. “We need to look at the detective’s list of employees and make some decisions on whether they stay at GWI or not.”
“You are free to go,” the detective said. “I will stay in touch with you as this continues to come to light.”
He shook his hand. “Thank you, detective.”
Clay and Izzy did the same.
Jay put his arm around her. “Shall we all go, sweetheart? I promised everyone dinner.”
She smiled. “Dos Hermanos?”

“How about here, sweetheart?” Clay asked Izzy, holding the painting against the wall.
“A little higher. That’s it. Perfect.”
Jay brought in another box filled with items she’d purchased for the penthouse. “Where do you want this, angel?”
“In the kitchen, honey, please. They’re new canisters.” She and Gabby had redecorated the entire place and it looked beautiful, warm, and welcoming. Our home.
He hammered the nail into the wall.
“That’s perfect, sweetheart,” she said. “The light in this room is perfect for art.”
He pulled her into his arms. “You’re perfect for this room, angel.”
Jay came up behind her and kissed her on the back of the neck. “She’s the one who brings the light, bro.”
“So true.”
They spun her around the living room. She was an amazing dancer.
“What a whirlwind the past several weeks have been.” Izzy kissed them both. “I’m so glad we had movers for my things. Especially since I had to go back to work.”
Jay bowed in front of her. “Senior Vice President of Global Accounts at MJK.”
Clay grinned and joined in on the fun, bending at the waist. “You should be proud, my lady.”
“I am, good sirs, especially with my two kings slash CEOs of GWI.”
“You never told us if Tom and Lyle’s promotions went through,” Jay said.
“They did, I’m happy to say. They have completely turned around about me.”
