"What's up, Mag?" he asked.
"Got married today."
He coughed and cleared his throat. "Excuse me?"
"Kidding. I'm in a hotel room with my brother's bride."
"And your brother?"
"Nope. He was a no show. Can't find him."
"Hmm."
I'd asked Vander to have the team look into Gavin last week and he'd turned up nothing so far. "Then we had an audience today at the courthouse. Mercedes, no plates. I didn't get a good look at him before I lost him."
Another grunt as he took in the information. "You concerned about Gavin's safety?" he asked.
I wasn't until he'd said that. "You think he's at risk?"
"You don't?" he asked.
"He's always a risk. It's just his nature, but this, I assumed he got cold feet and bailed out."
"It's possible whoever was tailing you has Gavin." This was why I called Vander. He was always good for offering another perspective on a situation.
"But why follow me if they have him?"
"Watching out for their asset?"
"Her?" I laughed. "She's so squeaky clean, she's not an asset. I assumed she was in danger."
"And Gavin wasn't?"
Shoot. I'd defaulted to blaming Gavin for everything out of habit. "My mistake for not even considering it."
"Until you know you can trust her, she's the enemy."
He was so right and spoke from experience. His wife was a Russian spy when they'd met, and I knew better than to trust anyone, especially a beautiful girl who looked harmless. "Got it. Found out today her name is Wen Li Song. Song Bakery in Chinatown. See if she's in the database."
"On it."
"Thanks."
I ended the call and stared at the bathroom door again. The water was running, and she was taking her time.
Maybe I'd been approaching this wrong.
What if Gavin was in some serious trouble and really missing? What if this seemingly innocent girl was behind all of it?
If she was working with the guy tailing us, I'd just helped her out by getting the certificate signed, and she was one hell of an actress.
She'd played me so good.
I really hated getting played, and I'd wasted valuable time messing around with her instead of looking for Gavin.
When she came out of the bathroom wearing the same pants from dinner the other night and the argyle sweater without the pearls, I was fuming mad.
That was her uniform.
