“What if I don’t want a man that will protect me?” I retorted as the driver got in and started the vehicle.
“Yes, you’re right. Better to find a man that’ll throw up his hands and walk away when you’re in trouble. What happened, anyway?”
I sighed, leaning back in my seat. “It’s a long story. Do you mind if we discuss it later?”
“On one condition. Is this over?”
“I’m pretty sure. One of the guys, Fox, is a little psycho and—”
“Did you say Fox?” he said suddenly, sitting up straight.
“Yeah,” I said warily. “Why?”
His jaw clenched hard as he pulled out his phone. A minute later, he turned it to face me. “Is this the man you’re talking about?”
It was definitely him, crazy smile and all. “Yep.”
“Hell, if I had known he was involved, I would have gotten down here sooner.”
“Why?” I asked, suddenly uneasy. “Is he dangerous?”
“Only if you plan on pissing him off.”
“How do you know him?”
“Trust me, he’s been on secret service’s radar a few times.”
That had me sitting up in my seat. “Why?”
“Can’t tell you.”
“But you just brought it up!”
“And this guy Eli works with him. I’ll have to do some digging.”
“Into Eli? Why?”
“Because you were with him. I need to know he’s above board.”
I snorted at that. “No problems there.
“Why do you say that?”
“Because he’s so…” I held out my hands like I was wringing his neck. “He’s so uptight.”
“About what?”
“Everything! Geez, all I did was talk to someone and he was ready to kill him.”
“I need his name and when you last saw him,” my dad said, going into work mode.
I sighed, leaning back in my seat. “You’re not going to kill Simon. He’s perfectly normal.”
“I need more than a first name to go on.”
I looked out the window and thought about all I’d been through over the past few days. “And he’s so intense. Like…who gives a speech about how much they love someone after a few days?”
“Yeah, I need you to run a trace on a Simon.”
