Jenny shivered. “I was supposed to be safe when I got back to America.”
“You will be, Honey. I promise.”
Brax pulled her closer and kissed the top of her head. She hoped he was right.

“I suppose I have to tell Kostya you’re taking more personal time?” Gideon said to Brax as the two men watched Jada showing Jenny a website on her tablet.
“Is that going to be a problem?”
“No. I think Kostya has forgotten to put down that you’ve been off the last couple of days, so you’ve got more than you think.” Gideon grinned.
Damn, I’m a lucky bastard.
“What’s your gut telling you?” Brax asked his second-in-command.
“I don’t think it’s the PR guy. He’s got thirty-five years with the company. He’s just a guy out of a job, not a real good reason to kill someone.”
“Yeah. That’s my take too,” Brax agreed. “But how did this guy from London track her down? And wouldn’t it be more likely that they would want her alive so they could find out where Fiona is?”
Gideon shrugged. “And for all we know, it could be some freak who’s taken a shine to her because she’s been in the papers.”
Brax groaned. “Why’d you even say that?”
“Because it’s true. But right now, she should be safe, because nobody knows your address. There’s no government paper trail, like there was when she was at the hotel.”
“When you say that, it points to London again. Someone with a couple of million dollars to play with would be able to find things out, not some poor PR shmo, or some crazy fan.”
“That’s why I’m digging around there first. I’ll get you the address of Roy Jeckel, and you and one of the guys can go check him out. Take Mateo.”
Brax looked over his shoulder at Jenny.
“If you’re worried about her, let’s get her over to my house,” Gideon said. “After the last incident, I’ve got it wired every which way from Sunday to make sure I’ll know if there are any intruders. It’s a fortress. She can stay with Jada.”
“Yeah, that’d be good.”
“Of course, Jenny is going to end up spending hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.”
“Hopefully it will spur her on to sue Cyber Tech. Those bastards shouldn’t be able to get away with what they did.”
“Amen,” Gideon agreed.
“So, what are they doing again?” Jenny asked Jada.
“Brax and Mateo are checking out Jeckel, and Gideon is over at Kane McNamara’s house to see if they can find out more about Edgar.”
“Who’s Kane?”
“He’s Gideon’s counterpart in Night Storm. Night Storm is another SEAL Team.”
“And Brax’s team is called Omega Sky, right?”
Jada nodded. “I think we need to call Amy over. She could cook up some food while we shop.”
“I can cook,” Jenny protested.
“You’re going to be too busy. I already called Leila and told her what to bring. I wanted to see how you’d look in a couple of outfits she had, so I could see what would look good on you before we order.”
