We chat for a few more minutes before he says Bellamy wants to talk to me again.
“What is it, love?”
“I just wanted to hear your voice again,” she admits, sounding more confident in expressing her needs now.
I appreciate that she’s growing comfortable with the two of us. It makes me want to try harder to be at ease with Tobias. Perhaps he’s right. It’s time for us to really put an effort into our friendship.
“Be a good girl for Tobias, love. I need to go.”
“Yes, Sir,” she murmurs. “I love you.”
“Love you too, sweet girl. I’ll be back in no time.”
I end the call and switch my phone back to the cameras I have pulled up, trying to spot Lorenzo’s movements around town.
What the hell is he doing here? So far, he’s been to the Sapphire and a warehouse on the outskirts of Henderson. Pure luck led me to finding him out there, but he’s been invisible for the past couple of hours.
Matteo walks into my office an hour later, and I lean back in my chair. “I still say you should reach out. It will help us get a read on him.”
Matteo pulls out his phone. “I’ll call him and see if I can get him to tell me he’s in town.”
“What’s your pretense for calling?”
“I’m trying to find out what Danny’s up to. It’s not a stretch. I’m always putting feelers out to figure out what the hell he’s doing.”
I give him a thumbs up. “Do it. I can’t find him right now. I might get lucky and be able to triangulate the call.”
It takes a few minutes to set up my equipment so I can trace the call before Matteo dials.
He answers right away.
“Matteo, I was wondering when you would call.”
I frown. Why would he be expecting his cousin’s call?
“Why’s that?” Matteo asks, keeping his tone even.
“Word is you’re helping on the investigation into the massacre at the Hunt wedding last weekend.”
I sit up straighter. How the hell does he know that?
“What are you talking about?” Matteo asks.
“Don’t play dumb. It was your contact in Scotland Yard that tipped Owen and Tobias off, right?” I raise an eyebrow. Is Lorenzo admitting to involvement?
“What’s going on, Lorenzo?” Matteo asks. “Are you saying you had something to do with the Hunt wedding massacre?”
His cousin laughs. The sound sends a chill up my spine, and I don’t like it at all. “What the hell are you thinking? Does Danny know about this?” Matteo hisses.
“Relax. Danny doesn’t know his head from a hole in the ground. He has no idea.”
“Danny sent you there to represent him. Not shoot up the goddamn wedding. Do you realize how many enemies you’ve made?”
“She should have been mine.”
I stand and reach for the phone, but Matteo puts a finger to his lips and steps away. He’s right. My focus should be on tracing the call.
“Who, Lorenzo? You’re not making any sense.”
