she’d come up with a plan for revenge.
Dani closed her eyes and listened to the noise of Henry, Tammy, Paige, and Red. She felt Kenna grab her hand and squeeze. She squeezed back. She’d just close her eyes for a minute.
“Kenna!”
“Danielle!”
Dani shot up in her chair and saw Kenna’s arm slip and her head fall to the side before shooting upright.
“What?” They said at the same time.
Dani turned her head in her seat and wiped her face to help wake up. Apparently she and Kenna took a little cat nap while debate raged over what to do next. A frantic looking Will and Mo ran into the room. Tired of explaining she just pointed to the note on her desk and the frame in the wall.
She saw both men clench their jaw and look at each other. Uh-oh, Chad was going to be in trouble. They both looked so fierce that Dani was almost afraid. But when Mo turned to her, there was nothing but kindness and concern in his eyes. Oh yeah, she was in love alright.
“About damn time you got here,” Paige walked over to the door where Cole was standing. “We called you almost thirty minutes ago.”
“I was in a meeting. Sorry it took so long. The local office got a call from Gene Pottinger, Assistant Director in Charge of the New York Office.”
That got everyone’s attention.
“Apparently we have two material witnesses in the area and our assistance is needed to bring them in.”
“You wouldn’t dare, Parker.” Will moved to stand between Cole and Kenna. She noticed Mo shift to her side as well.
“Of course not. I told them we’d keep our eye out for them and let them know if anything turns up. The meeting I called was to make sure the other agents knew that Pottinger had asked me to do this. If they heard anything they should let me know. I will report that nothing has popped up on our radar. Now, Dani, why don’t you tell me what happened.”
“I got a package. I opened it and found that note.” She pointed to the note. She noticed that the shock had worn off. She was no longer shaking or crying as she retold what happened. “Then I got a little mad and threw the photo he sent. It’s there.” She pointed to the wall. She really did have a good arm.
“Son of a bitch. Paige, you’re in this photo too and he refers to you in the note. When was this taken?”
“About four hours ago,” Paige answered. “But, I want to know what you are going to do about all of this. We have the FBI trying to take them away from us and we have a psychotic rapist playing with them. What are you doing? Nothing, that’s what!”
Dani sat back and watched Paige in a full rant. It was really something to behold.
“You walk around like some big shot when you can’t get anything done. You haven’t found this bastard. You haven’t made them safe. Now because you can’t get anything done, I am in this sicko’s sights.” Paige threw up her hands. She pulled her cell phone from the back pocket of her jeans and punched in a number. “Hey. I need you. Something has happened. Yes. I am at Kenna’s law office. Okay. Bye.”
“Just what in the hell was that all about?”
Paige got right into Cole’s face. “I am calling someone who I know can help.” She turned on her heel and walked out of the office.
“What do you mean by that?” Cole yelled after her.
Kenna leaned over to Dani, “It’s like a real live soap opera.”
Dani grinned. She’d been thinking the same thing.
For the next ten minutes Dani, Kenna, Will, Mo, Henry, Tammy, and Red took the opportunity to enjoy the Paige and Cole show.
“I bet they don’t even know they both are completely crazy about each other.” Kenna said.
“Nope. Just like me and my Susie were forty years ago,” Red told them.
“I think it’s romantic,” Tammy sighed. “Oh my!” Tammy stood up so fast she almost knocked the desk chair over.
Three very large, very strong looking men walked into the room one at a time. The man who walked in first lifted an eyebrow
