Daley stood straight and pulled the sleeves of his suit jacket down.
“We help children who have been abused, whether that be mentally or physically” he said as if reading it off an advertisement.
“Uh huh.” I picked up the glass, not intending to drink it but to give my hands something to do.
“We have centers in several states but we want to expand and reach more people” he shrugged. I would have thought for someone who ran a charity like this, that he’d be more interested in it but he acted like he was talking about the weather.
“Wow, that’s a really worthy cause.” I nodded.
We’d come up with this plan. I was to find out what I could about the charity and Ty would jump in if it got too much. I saw it as my first real test and was happy that they had trusted me to find out something so integral to the case.
I didn’t want to ruin any chances we had of getting those girls back.
“Did you set the charity up?” I asked and placed the glass back down, the smell was making me want to heave.
“Me and another benefactor,” he laughed “It’s actually a funny story.”
Ty lifted a brow, not amused while I smiled to show him that I was interested in what he had to say.
“This chick came up to me one day and out of the blue told me that she’d been watching me and wanted me to join her on a business adventure.”
“Yeah?” Ty wrapped his arm around my waist. I squinted at Daley, trying my hardest to pay attention to what he was saying.
“Yeah, and she was fucking hot.” His eyes widened at me “Oh shit, sorry.”
“No that’s fine.” I waved him off and smiled.
He shrugged “Yeah, so I ask her what her proposal is and she says that she wants to set up a charity.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, that was what? Six months ago?” he frowned at something in the distance. “She said she’s coming tonight. Something about a surprise.” He shrugged and downed his champagne.
“It would be lovely to meet her,” I said.
Maybe this was the key that we were looking for, if this charity was set up by two people then maybe she was the other person that we’d been searching for.
I coughed twice so that Evan would know I was signaling him. “I got it” Evan said in my ear. I was so excited that we may have a breakthrough.
“Looks like you’ll get to meet her sooner rather than later,” Daley smiled.
“That’s great, ” I smiled.
“Well hey there,” a sultry voice said from behind us.
I turned.
She was perfection, her light blue eyes shone when the lights hit them and her blond hair hung in waves over one shoulder. She was wearing a beautiful black velvet dress with a slit all the way to the top of her leg not leaving anything to the imagination.
“Hi,” I held my hand out “I’m Kaylee and this is-”
“Tyson,” she smirked.
I frowned and looked at Ty, his face pale and jaw clenched.
“I’m sorry,” I laughed nervously my hand still between us “Do you know each other?” Ty’s hand slackened on my waist.
“Oh dear, did you not tell her?” she cackled.
