“Don’t have a family,” I replied “So, I couldn’t tell you” I looked beyond hiant enough to come alone Unfortunately, I couldn’t tell I wasn’t about to put Cecilia and the baby in danger by starting shit when I didn’t knoho else atching the house

“Alright,” he chuckled He stared at me for a moment “Well, thanks for your time”

“No problem” I shut the door in his face and shoved the deadbolt home

“Motherfucker had balls, showing up here,” I told Casper as he stepped into view

“How the fuck would he know she’s here?” Casper asked

“No idea, but he sure as hell does,” I ht back in his car and drove away, not even bothering to continue the buying-a-house-down-the-street cover

“He got to the attorney,” Casper said

“Sure as shit,” I replied “But how the fuck would he link me to Cec?”

Myto find how they fit Even though he clearly kneho Cecilia e hadn’t seen each other in over a decade It would take serious digging and time to find any link between us There was also no way that he could’ve known that I was one of the team who’d taken her frooddamn masks, Wilson had also copied and then wiped the security cah back that Cecilia couldn’t be connected to the criuy know and hoas he getting the information?

“Who was it?” she asked worriedly

“We gotta go, baby,” I told her softly

“He found us? How?” she asked as I reached her I pulled her into my arms, the baby tucked between us

“Don’t know yet,” I said “But I’ll find out”

“Is he still out there?” she asked, turning her head toward the

“Nope, he’s gone” I let her go and smoothed my thumb over her cheek “He’ll be back We’re leavin’ as soon as we can get packed up”

“Do you have a bag?” Farrah asked Cecilia

My lips twitched even as I started switching gears I needed to call ot about ten,” I told Farrah “Your daughter did a little shopping last night”
