She winced because this fact wasn’t going to help her case.“He’s in banking.”
Erin sat up. “So he would know how to move crypto around.”
“But I seriously doubt he would know how to track a SpecialForces soldier,” Lou argued. “He would have to have serious contacts.”
“If it’s him, then you definitely aren’t seeing him again,”TJ said, arms crossed over his chest.
“Wait, she’s still dating after what she did with you onthis couch?” Erin asked. “Son, we need to talk about your technique.”
Big Tag shook his head. “Lou said they didn’t do it on thecouch.”
“They obviously did it on the couch,” his brother shot back.
“It’s not Dennis.” Lou could only deal with one Taggart at atime, and in this case TJ had her attention.
“You don’t think it’s pure coincidence that he comes backinto your life at the same moment someone is trying to set me up to take afall?” TJ returned, his eyes steady on her.
She didn’t see the logic behind it. “What does he get out ofit?”
“Revenge.” TJ obviously did.
“Brother, if you can’t smell sex, then we need to get you toa doctor,” Theo was saying. “Isn’t loss of smell a sign of a stroke?”
“No, it is not,” Erin replied, but she was watching Ian andTheo with a grin on her face like she lived for this.
Which she did. “We did it on the back of the couch.” Sheturned to TJ. “Aren’t you forgetting that there were a couple of people on yourteam who didn’t like you at all?”
She didn’t want to get into this, but she didn’t thinkspending time checking into Dennis Sims would be a good use of resources. Andwhy Zach? It was too much of a coincidence that the person walking with TJ waswearing an identical jacket to one Zach owned.
Who would know he wore that jacket? Not Dennis Sims.
“The only people who didn’t like me are dead because Kalakilled them,” TJ replied.
“The back of the freaking couch counts, Louisa Ward.” BigTag was on his feet and staring her down with his best mad-dad expression. Itwas one she knew well.
“No lady parts touched the couch,” Lou argued.
“Well, none today,” Erin said with a nod.
“And just because someone is dead doesn’t mean the plans theyput in motion before they died… Wait, what does that mean?” Lou frowned as sheremembered the reception she’d had up here because there was a lovely view andDrew Lawless threw an amazing holiday party that he invited the MT group toevery year. “Whose lady parts would touch my pristine couch where I sit everyday?”
TJ was shaking his head like it was his damn job.
“None ever,” Erin agreed with the confidence of a woman whoknew how to lie.
“On my couch?” Lou had mooned over TJ on that couch. Hisparents shouldn’t be livening up their long-term marriage on it. It didn’t feelfair.
“I’m pretty sure Kala and Cooper almost did it there,” TJadmitted. “But then she got mad and punched him in the face.”
“Good for Kala,” Big Tag said.
Erin threw him a nasty look. “Yeah, because it’s sohealthy.”
Another thought hit her. “I left Tasha in here when we wereworking a couple of weeks ago, and when I got back Dare was here. But it wasonly a couple of minutes.”
“And that is all they need,” Theo said with a sigh.
She didn’t want to know. She was calling the cleaning crew.Big Tag was pacing like a lion in a cage, and if she didn’t take control, thismeeting would devolve. “It doesn’t matter.” It was natural. Well, natural forthe people in her family. Actually, when she thought about it, bringing anyoneelse in would be problematic. She probably should stay with TJ because at leastshe wouldn’t have to explain his uncle to someone new. “I’ll send youeverything I have so far. And I’m pretty sure I found something on the filesKala managed to get out. It’s what we thought it was.”
