“Small victories.”
Sam lightly slapped Logan’s arm. “They’re all we can concentrate on.”
“Thanks for coming up to check on her. I’ll check in when I know something.”
“Good. Thanks.” Dee stepped into Logan’s space and wrapped her arms around his middle. “You take care of our girl for us.”
He dropped a kiss on top of her head. “I will.” He spotted Marcus Roth over her head. “Excuse me?”
They both nodded and waved as they headed down the hall.
“Marcus. Give me something, man.”
“Sarah tried to check herself out of her damn room. She’s ready to come up here and guard over Bella’s freaking surgical room, for God’s sake.”
“You didn’t let her, right?”
“In theory, I’m her boss. I’m not sure she’s aware of the whole boss/employee relationship.”
“In other words, she’ll be up here as soon as humanly possible?”
Marcus snorted. “She’s not human.”
“She’s all right?”
“Banged up. Busted rib and concussion. All things considered, she’s not doing too badly. What’s the deal with Bella?”
“Still in surgery.” He was getting damn tired of saying that.
“I figured as much. I talked to the police, so that’s one less thing for you to deal with. I explained our situation so far. They want us to go in and talk to them as soon as possible.”
“I need guards on her door, Marcus. There’s no way that explosion at Between the Lines was an accident.”
“So far, they’re saying it is.”
“What?”
Marcus nodded. “They’re saying faulty wiring - old brownstone yada yada.”
“You know that’s not it. I know Izzy. That place was up to code or better. She’d never chance it with her inventory.”
“I know that. But it’s still an old building. Even if she was up to code, something could have gone wrong.”
“You know that’s bullshit.”
“Logan.” Marcus lowered his voice.
“It was her. You fucking know it was her.”
“I have nothing to go on. She was very spectacularly in a different part of the country.”
Logan frowned. “What does that mean?”
“She was at some premiere with that hockey player. And it was a media circus. She was at the bloody center of it.”
Logan’s eyebrow winged up. He didn’t know Marcus had an accent. “Do I even want to know?”
“Her alibi is airtight. The premiere was in London.”
