“Yes, and also the name of the bastard who shot our Border Force boat to shit,” Ryder said.

“That’s him.” I nodded. “Clark got the job with The Eye through him. And when I told Clark that Wax was dead, he started yelling that The Eye saw everything. That’s when he jumped off the cliff.”

“Christ. That’s messed up,” Watts said.

I nodded. “He preferred to die than be taken into custody.”

“Whoever this Eye is, he’ll do anything to get his hands on this device.” Watts shoved the hard drive with the end of his pen.

“And we can also assume he’s the same bastard who was trying to get their hands on the DIMS tracker that was located on Chui’s sunken yacht,” Ryder added.

“Have you found any more information on the DIMS?” I asked Cobra.

Cobra puffed out his cheeks. “Just like the hard drive, it’s heavily encrypted. It pinpointed the drug den in the Everglades, and the plane where you found the hard drive.”

I clicked my fingers. “So that confirms the details on that DIMS is connected to Chui.”

“Correct,” Aria said.

Cobra nodded. “I know there are more tracking locations on the DIMS, but the computer was severely compromised from being submerged.

“We already raided one site, but it turned out to be wrong,” Aria said.

“Damn,” I said. “What about the woman named B? Any more information on her?”

Everyone shook their heads.

“Whoever wanted these devices is going to be very pissed off that we have them.” Lacey’s pale gray eyes were sharp. She may have looked young, but Lacey seemed to have a depth to her police career that I wasn’t aware of. The fact that she was in this room proved she brought some unique skills. I made a mental note to spend more time getting to know her.

Aria scowled. “We have to assume the bastard either wants to take over Chui’s drug empire, or they already have.”

Watts groaned. “And that means we all have very serious targets on our backs.”

I thought Nikki’s death and Owen’s capture was the end of me looking over my shoulder, but these salvaged items just triggered a whole new set of people who wanted us dead.

And now Indiana was in the sights of a well-funded madman, too.

Captain Watts pushed back on his chair. “Thanks to you and Indiana, we have a couple of significant leads to work with. We’ll find these fucking bastards and put an end to all this bullshit.”

“Or they’ll find us,” I murmured.

“We’ll get them.” Aria clenched her jaw, and her dark eyes turned to stone.

“We have a lot going on, so let’s keep a tight lid on this.” Watts tapped his pen on the hard drive. “And any new intel we get. Ryder, let me know once you have those bodies to the coroner.”

“Yes, sir.”

“I want you two investigating those bodies.” He nodded at Lacey and me. “We need to find out who they are and how they are involved in this mess.”

“Yes, sir,” Lacey and I said in unison.

“Cobra and I will keep working on the intel on these devices and keep you in the loop,” Aria said.

“Appreciated.” Watts stood, and we all stood with him and said our goodbyes.

Outside his door, Aria approached me.

“Do you have a minute?” She led me outside and turned to Cobra, who was trailing us. “I’ll hitch a ride back to Risky Shores with you. Don’t go away.”
