“I’ll get right on it.”
“Thanks.” Rider disconnected and faced the group. “Mick and his company will find what they can about this woman.”
Paris’ stomach grumbled, and she clasped a hand over her belly. “Sorry.”
“Grayson, why don’t you take our young lady someplace to eat. If you can, bring me back some scrambled eggs and bacon.”
“You don’t want to come with us?”
He wanted to, but it would be best if Paris and Grayson had more time bonding. Not that his friend deserved it after not contacting him for all those years, but Rider thought the two of them were perfect for each other.
She’s your mate too.
Rider ignored his inner wolf. As delightful and delicious as Paris was, he didn’t have time for the distraction. "Not now."
Paris threaded her arm through Grayson’s. “I need to clean up first.”
“Me too. I’ll stop by when I’m done.”
She smiled, forcing Rider to look away. He ran his thumb over the tips of his nails.Sharp. Damn it. What was happening to him? He had the same view on mates as Paris—they didn’t exist.
However, after last night, he wasn’t so sure. Hadn’t Grayson claimed that Paris was his though? If those two belonged together, why was he reacting to her in such a way?
He turned to Liam and Alex. “Great job yesterday. Let me know if Doug Peterson goes anywhere else special.”
“Will do.”
Rider returned to his room and looked over at the rumbled sheets. Paris’ scent still lingered in the room, making his dick grow hard thinking about the amazing sex they’d had.
If he didn't stop letting Paris distract him though, he’d never find proof that her father was evil. It seemed very important to her that the man pay for what he did to her mother, but Rider would only take him down if he was guilty of producing cocaine.
Grayson came out of the shower with a towel around his waist and dragging a second towel over his hair. “You sure you don’t want to come to breakfast with us? I bet Paris would like it.”
“You go. I want to bring the general up to speed. He might be able to help in ways that Mick’s group can’t.”
Grayson nodded, threw the towels over the table, and dressed. “Do you want me to pick up some coffee, too?” he asked.
“I sure as hell am not drinking the coffee you bought.”
Grayson chuckled. “See if the general has any suggestions about a local lab.”
“Will do.”
As soon as Grayson left, Rider placed the wet towels back in the bathroom and then called the general who answered right away. “Rider. Nice to hear from you. What have you found out?”
He wasn’t sure where to begin, so he started with the fact that he’d asked two of his best men from his company to join him. “I just found out that one of the women who is helping us is Delancey’s daughter.”
The general whistled. “My sources are slipping. I didn’t know he had a daughter.”
“It’s possible Delancey doesn’t know either.” Rider explained the circumstances of her birth.
“I see. How can I help?”
“I have Mick’s company looking into the identity of the woman that the head of inventory verbally attacked. She might be able to provide us with information. Here’s the thing. Before the men could move any closer to hear better, they spotted a lot of cars at around eleven at night drive into a garage.”
“An above ground parking garage?”
“No, an underground one, which is odd considering all the flat open land they own. I’m thinking it’s a tunnel of some sort that might lead to the Harrison property.” Rider explained where this development was located in relation to Harrison Industries and about the pipes sticking up from the ground. “We’re speculating there is a cocaine lab underground.”
