“I wonder why he kept it when he couldn’t get into it?” she asked.
“Who knows?” Zander asked. “Maybe he thought he would get into it and it would be useful.”
She licked her lips. “I saw him put them in once.”
“Good.” Zander smiled. “That means you remember them.”
“Of course I do. But should we open it? What if we see something we can’t unsee?”
Zander frowned, nodding. “Do you remember the Fox telling us that if we got any information about Bartolli to call him?”
Her eyes flared open. “You think he meant this?”
“I don’t know. But we tell him we have this. And we tell him we’ll give it to him, if he gives us Angie.”
“Do you really think it will work?”
“Worth a shot. Now, give me the numbers.”
She rattled off the numbers, holding her breath as Zander put them in. It took a moment, but then folders appeared on the screen.
“Got it,” Zander said. He opened a folder, scrolling through a few things. “Yeah, I think this will work.”
He started downloading the files.

“We are. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t download the information.”
“I don’t know, Zander,” she said uneasily.
“I’m not going to use it. It’s just an insurance policy.”
Okay. She couldn’t argue with that.

“I’m not happy with you.”
“I know, Daddy.”
“I’m going to spank your ass every night for a month.”
“If you have to, Daddy.”
“Don’t think I won’t,” he warned as he pulled up to the meeting spot that the Fox had given them. They weren’t stupid. Zander’s team was arranged around the area, waiting and watching.
Tomorrow was the wedding.
Today was hopefully the day she got her sister back.
Zander pulled up to where a dark Jeep with tinted windows idled.
“Wait,” she said urgently.
He turned to her as nerves strummed through her body. She licked her dry lips. “What if she wants nothing to do with me? What if she really blames me for everything?”
“Then that’s her choice. It’s the wrong choice, but it’s hers. Would you rather we leave her with him?”
