something in his office that would be beneficial to Eli’s father’s case. Only she could get it for him. So far, Eli had proved he was the man telling the truth. Not Terrel . If Eli was also correct in thinking Terrel was corrupt, she couldn’t stand aside and not help. If Joshua Montgomery was the rightful heir to Montgomery Aisle, she had to do something to get him out of the mental hospital.
She hurried with her shower and quickly dressed in a pair of tan slacks and a coffee colored long-sleeved blouse. While buttoning up the front with one hand, she flipped through her day planner with the other. Had she written anything about Terrel’s agenda?
Cursing, she slammed the book closed. She hadn’t. She hurried over to the phone and called his secretary. After a short chat with Betty, Kendra grinned, her mind turning a million times over. She should sneak into his office while he’s at one of his meetings. Her heart hammered from the mere thought. She’d never done anything devious in her life. Could she actually do it?
She walked into the bathroom to style her hair. As she used the blow dryer, she mapped out the plan in her mind. She’d wait until Betty went to lunch—usually around noon. The first place Kendra would look in Terrel’s office would be his important files. He usually had them under lock and key, but she knew where he kept the extra keys.
She’d search for invoices and bills—something that showed he was paying the institution where Joshua stayed. Unfortunately, she didn’t know what institution Joshua was being held prisoner. She’d forgotten to ask Eli that minor detail. In fact, she hadn’t asked Eli a lot of things. Funny she’d taken his word so easily about being a future-man.
She laughed and turned off the blow dryer. Did she really believe he was from the future? Deep down inside she didn’t, yet how else would he know everything he’d proved to her yesterday? How else would he know the future if he hadn’t been there? She’d read her father’s time-travel book right after it was published. His book did make sense—if time travel were really possible.
She let out a frustrated breath and shook her head. Time-travel was too mind-boggling.
It only took her a few minutes to apply her make-up. Pulling a brush through her hair only took a moment, too. Once again, she didn’t do anything fancy to it. Didn’t have time. Then again, Eli had told her last night he liked it down.
Eli.
She smiled again. There was no way she’d be able to take the giddiness out of her. For the next few days, she’d live life to the fullest, and if that meant enjoying having a relationship with a man from the future…a very handsome and passionate man, no less, then she’d do it. For several years now, she’d lived by her day planner. Everything she did had a perfect schedule. Now, she wanted to do things by the seat of her pants as if tomorrow were her last day.
Her smile gradually weakened. Within a few days, Eli would be gone. He’d go back to his time . A pain shot through her heart. It hadn’t taken him long to come into her heart. Sad thing was , she didn’t think she could live without him now.
Chapter Seven
Lamont Walters had been Joshua and Adam Montgomery’s chauffeur—a man Eli had forgotten about until he was researching the Montgomery’s household staff before Adam died. Although Eli had hit a brick wall with finding the staff so far, he was exceedingly happy when he discovered Lamont Walters lived at a nursing home.
Before leaving Kendra ’s apartment this morning, he noticed a mini- voice recorder, so grabbed it, just in case Lamont wouldn’t testify in court. Eli knew the old chauffeur had some kind of information. Eli just had to prove it.
He waited in the lobby of the nursing home, tapping his fingers against the front desk’s counter. He hadn’t been in many nursing homes, but this was far the worst he’d been in. If Terrel or Lisa had paid the home to keep
