everything we can to nail this son of a bitch.” Then, turning to Colt, he spoke quietly, “Call this in, make sure you let the brass know we’re working on this thing. I know we don’t do domestic, but the ring is international, so they can’t balk too much. Let them know it’s nonnegotiable and we’ll turn over everything we come up with.”
    Zach slid his arms under Kat’s knees and lifted her in to his arms. He started toward her suite as Alex finished up the meeting and saw everyone out. She felt so small cuddled up against him, he couldn’t help wondering how much of the story she had either edited for their benefit or simply omitted. There were lots of ways to get at the truth, he was certain that he and Alex would find something that would not only be effective, but would lead to their mutual enjoyment also.

Chapter 8

    Kat came awake when she heard a moan, slowly realizing it was her own, and quickly realized why her body felt like it was tingling all over. Her legs were spread wide open and being held in place by something wrapped around her ankles, and her hands were held together above her head. Opening her eyes slowly, Kat saw candle light dancing off the ceiling being reflected from candles sitting on every available flat surface. Looking to each side, she saw Alex and Zach lying on their sides, propped up on their elbows, watching her intently. They were slowly drawing the backs of their fingers up and down her body, leaving goose bumps in their wake.
    Alex was the first to speak. “We’d like to talk to you, baby. We have the feeling that there might be things you forgot to mention when we spoke to you downstairs.” Uh oh, this didn’t seem like it was going to be a regular, get-together-over-coffee-and-chitchat session to Kat.
    “You didn’t leave out anything did you, kitten?” Zach’s voice was soft, but there was an edge to it that Kat didn’t want to think too much about right at this moment. How did they expect her to think clearly when they had her tied down and they were lighting her up with warm sensation? Somewhere in the back of her mind she’d known her smoke-and-mirrors version wouldn’t get her by forever, but she hadn’t expected this, this was going to be a whole new method of interrogation, she was sure of that much.
    “Well, of course I didn’t review each and every moment of the last seven years. That would have taken hours. I told you everything you need to know to protect yourselves until I am well enough to travel. Honestly, I don’t think there is anything to worry about, I was always careful to avoid telling anyone where I was from; there isn’t any way Cal will be able to find me here before I move on. I’m sorry if you feel I’ve brought trouble here. If you’ll just help me get my car from the woods, I think I’d be able to travel in the next day or so.” She tried to sound upbeat even when she didn’t know exactly where she’d go. She was out of cash and certain any attempt to access her bank accounts would lead Cal straight to her.
    “Your car is locked up securely in one the sheds down by the garage. Anything you needed from it has been brought up to the house.” Alex’s calmly spoken words didn’t match the tension that seemed to be coursing through him, not a good sign at all.

    Alex was pissed, plain and simple, completely irate. His little sister had a lot of explaining to do, and when she returned to Climax later this week, they’d be waiting. Colt’s team had found Katarina’s computer in her car and had accessed her personal e-mail only to discover their darling sister had known where Katarina was and had been communicating with her best friend for years. While Jenna might not have known in the beginning where Katarina was, she had certainly known for a good long time, and it seemed she’d not seen fit to share that information with her older brothers. Zach was equally pissed, and he was usually Jenna’s biggest
