“It was the least I could do.” Kane shifted his gaze to me. “Indy, I truly am sorry about your dad and Rhino. I know how much that boat meant to you.”
“Yeah. Thanks.”
“But listen. If ever you want to go out to Pineapple Reef, I’m happy for you to use Devil’s Fortune.”
I frowned at him. “You mean you didn’t–”
“No,” he interrupted. “You got there first. Whatever is down there belongs to you.”
I blinked at him, hardly able to believe the words that came from Kane Devlin’s mouth. “You really didn’t check it out?”
“Cross my heart.” He flashed that grin that had stolen my breath way too many times.
“Oh.” I had no idea what to say.
“Anyway, I’m sure you have a lot to sort out. Give me a call when you’re ready, and I’ll take you out there.”
Yeah, I bet you just want me to find what’s on Siren’s Lure so you can lay claim to it.
“I’ll even let you keep whatever we find down there,” he said like he was reading my mind.
I couldn’t stop my jaw from dropping. “What’s the catch?”
He chuckled. “You really are too cynical for your own good. But you’re right. There is a catch.”
“Of course there is.” I rolled my eyes. “What?”
“I want you to introduce me to Aria.”
“Aria?” Tyler and I said at the same time.
“Yeah. I’ve been trying to arrange a meeting with her, but she refuses to talk to me.”
Tyler frowned. “Why do you want to talk to Aria?”
Kane wrapped his hand around a pole, and his bicep bulged, showing off muscles that weren’t there a decade ago. “Let’s just say I have some information for her that could help with her investigation into that missing Nazi gold.”
Tyler’s mouth fell ajar.
I frowned. “What information?”
He winked. “Set up a meeting with Aria, Indy. Then call me when you want to return to Pineapple Reef.”
He turned and strode away, leaving me to stare at his back.
“What’s that all about?” Tyler asked.
I shook my head. “That’s Kane Devlin . . . full of fucking secrets.”
“Well, we have a secret of our own.” Tyler tapped the pocket of his shorts. “Let’s get this hard drive to Captain Watts. I want to know why those bastards tried to kill us.”
Captain Watts and another cop, Officer Lacey Brooks, were waiting for us at the end of the pontoon, and relief was written over the captain’s face when he finally laid eyes on us.
“I thought you two were dead.” Watts shook our hands.
“So did we,” Tyler said.
“Are you okay?” Lacey asked me. She looked way too innocent to be a cop.
