again. I will always be there for you.”
    She pressed her face into his chest and he heard a small sob as she wrapped her arms around his neck. “Now I’m scared for you.”
    It might be one of the nicest things she’d ever said to him. Because it spoke volumes about the feelings she didn’t want to feel or talk about.
    It gave him hope.
    “Now tell me about the search for your siblings and what you’ve found. Then I’ll call Jason and see if his firm can give us a hand with this.”

    “I appreciate your help, bro. Gigi’s been on the run way too long. We need to find this guy and fast. I’d be shocked if he’s your basic law abiding citizen,” West said, cradling his cell between his cheek and shoulder as he carried another of Gigi’s boxes into his house. He hadn’t taken no for an answer when he’d brought her home so he could keep an eye on her. She’d kicked up a fuss but he’d handled it fairly easily. She wanted to be with him, he could tell, but she kept believing she needed to be alone.
    After her sleepless night, West had tucked her up in his bed and she’d been out in record time despite her protests that she wasn’t tired and didn’t need anyone to take care of her.
    She needed it more than anyone he’d ever met. Clearly she’d been taking care of herself since she was a child and was used to it, and he respected the hell out of her for it. But that didn’t mean she couldn’t lean on him when the going was rough. It didn’t make her weak but it didn’t appear that she was convinced. She was going to fight him every step of the way. He’d have to be strong because eventually – and he didn’t know when – Gigi wasn’t going to be able to keep up this facade of having her life handled and under control.
    “We shouldn’t have any trouble finding him and what he’s up to. I hate to ask this but how does Gigi know that Alan Morton is following her? Maybe when she left he gave up and moved on.”
    If only that were the case.
    “He had his henchman follow her to the bus station and she barely got away. They also found her when she was in Nashville although luckily she was able to outrun them by ducking into a busy mall and getting lost in a crowd. Turns out they found her when she took a regular job instead the cash under the table places she’d worked before and since. Morton is a tech geek so if her name goes through a computer somewhere…he’ll find her.”
    “He sounds like a sick bastard. I’m going to enjoy investigating this one. You’re probably right about him. If he’ll have a man beaten up for talking to a woman then crossing other legal boundaries probably isn’t a big deal.”
    “That’s what we need to be concerned about. If this asshole is as arrogant as he sounds he won’t be thinking straight when it comes to Gigi.”
    “Arrogance and stupidity often go hand in hand,” Jason chuckled. “He may be smart about business but that doesn’t mean he’s a genius when it comes to other subjects. If there’s something to find we’ll get him, don’t worry.”
    “Gigi’s worried about my safety.” West slid the last box onto the dining room table. “She thinks Morton might hurt or kill me. It was real sweet.”
    “Brinley likes to worry over me too. It’s a sign they care so appreciate it. Now, are you okay until the morning? I can come by and help out until Logan gets here. Jared’s going to stay in Seattle and do the background research on Morton and the brother and sister unless you think I need to call him in as well.”
    “We’ll be fine,” West assured his brother. “I had her call into work and say she has the flu so she won’t be expected for a few days. We’ll be fine here in Tremont. There’s no evidence that Morton knows where she is at this point. Then as soon as you and Jared get something concrete on Zachary Rogers we’ll head out to find him.”
    “With Logan and myself shadowing you. I know you think you
