The man wouldn’t hesitate to hurt Trent and then beat or rape her. AJ would not allow that to happen.
But how could he protect her? When he heard of danger headed her way he could warn Trent. AJ had to stay in the know because she would cause more trouble.
The news alert captured his attention. Denzel Wilkins had been captured. AJ jerked forward on the couch, spilling his coffee on the already stained rug. His heart pounded.
Fuck!
CHAPTER EIGHT
Anticipation curled through Megan. This was the major break she had been hunting. If Raven’s information was accurate, she’d have the opportunity to see one of the big bosses. He didn’t know, or wouldn’t tell her, which boss it would be or what the meeting would be about. His information had always been solid so she trusted him.
Butterflies were active in her stomach, bouncing from wall to wall. She wished Victoria had been here to go with her. Then they could see if this boss crossed over to her part of the story.
Megan chewed her bottom lip. Would Trent argue with her about going? There was no doubt in her mind that he would. She might have to remind him that he worked for her. This was her lead and her chance. She’d publish the boss’s photo and be one step closer to destroying the man who had ruined her family’ s lives.
Her stomach clenched, fighting to stop her pumped up adrenaline. Trent wouldn’t want her to go. She’d wait to tell Trent until she was leaving.
Detectives Cooper and Phillips would expect her to call them with this information. Of course, exposing a boss in a drug ring before informing the police would piss them off even more than they already were. They’d probably work to get a new law passed so they could throw her in jail.
Where are you, Kristen?
She had to leave soon.
“I have watched you constantly looking to Kristen’s office. Something’s up, isn’t it?” Janet asked.
That brought Kyle and Kelly to her desk.
“Megan. What’s going on?” Kelly asked. “And don’t say nothing. You’ve got something going on. You’re packed up and ready to leave.”
“Shh. I don’t want Merissa to come over.” Megan worried she’d run to a manager to keep her from leaving. She couldn’t have that.
She wanted to tell Kristen first but couldn’t hold back. “I have a lead on a meeting where a Magic Shop boss will be present. I can’t wait to hear what will be said.” Megan’s smile grew.
“This could be a big break in your story,” Janet said.
Giddiness bounced through Megan’s veins. “I know. Isn’t it great? I might expose one of their bosses. I hope it’s the one I’ve been looking for. I need his name and what he does for the organization.”
“Tell us more about this meeting,” Kelly urged. “Is it safe for you to watch?”
She relayed what she knew except for the location. She skirted around it in case one of them decided to send the police. There were suggestions from her friends plus a reminder that her bodyguard went with her.
Finding a place to hide where she and Trent could remain hidden, but hear the meeting would be the key. That might be difficult.
Thankfully, it wasn’t snowing. She wasn’t sure if they’d have to hide outside, or if they could find a spot inside the scrap metal warehouse. It was so cliché for them to meet at a warehouse. Maybe there would be boxes or barrels to hide behind like in movies.
There would be somewhere for them to safely hide. She had to think positive.

She hadn’t had to argue with Trent. He’d been behind closed doors with the building security manager. Waiting for him hadn’t been an option.
Trent would be upset, especially once he heard what she intended to do. She’d deal with it when she returned. She knew how to keep herself hidden. She’d done it many times before for a story.
She left without seeing Kristen. Her boss would overcome her anger when Megan presented the story, she hoped. She’d pushed boundaries, but never disobeyed
