“I know you bought the block,” she confirmed.
Not only did she stalk me day to day in the cyber world, but she also stalked me at work. She never came in or anything, but I would see her passing by my office two and three times a day.
At this point, I was convinced that she did it just because she knew it would annoy me.
I landed the helicopter and listened to the quiet ticking of the heated engine for a long moment before I said, “Thank you for coming and helping. That wouldn’t have been easy to do without you.”
I could’ve done it, but I wouldn’t have wanted to leave that child that long, unsecured in a car.
Though, I wouldn’t have had that insider information about him being unsecured in a car. I would’ve just known he was in that car. However, who knew how long it would take to get that information. The people could’ve been in Canada by the time I’d figured out where exactly they were.
As we walked toward my car, I realized something she’d been trying to get me to see for a very long time—she could help me. Easily. And all of these missing persons that I hunted down…they could be found.
This new world was a bit different than the old one that existed before I’d gone to prison.
Technology ruled it, and either I adapted with the times, or it buried me.
And I wouldn’t let stubborn pride or the dislike of the woman beside me run my life.
I looked over at the woman walking beside me. “I’d like to offer you a job.”

“He did what?”
I grinned at my best friend’s disbelief.
Hell, even I was surprised by his turnaround.
But I’d proven myself today and he’d been forced to acknowledge to himself that I would be a good addition to his operation.
Honestly, I wasn’t quite sure why I wanted to help him.
To be one-hundred-percent truthful, helping him in his cases meant he might ask to help me in my own case. Something in which I would have to fudge if I knew what was good for me.
Granted, I didn’t think that was the best possible way to go about this. Getting his trust and his asking me to help in one of the cases that he couldn’t solve was definitely one of those things that I should be very excited about. But there was one thing that came above all others in this world, and that was my daughter.
Speaking of…
“I’m headed over to pick her up,” I said.
Morrigan scoffed. “A, she and Aodhan and Bowie are busy watchingTransformers, they’re on movie three. Just started. So I can guarantee that she won’t appreciate being picked up in the middle of it.”
I rolled my eyes. “And B?”
“B, I just ordered pizza, and you know how she never gets that with you,” she said.
I grimaced.
My best friend had no clue why I couldn’t order pizza. Hell, neither did my daughter.
Only I was privy to that information.
