the penthouse with Portia and Tomas. How did you manage to get away from your loving family ?”
“They’re hoping I’ll think I have privacy and autonomy, when in actuality I’m watched even more closely. It’s one of our fun family games.” Seth’s tone was resigned. “I’m impressed you figured out everything about Vargas.”
“Brice sees patterns. Show him one or two pieces of a puzzle, and he can see the whole picture,” Sierra said with a combination of frustration and admiration.
“Watch it wench, or I’ll start trying to figure out the puzzle of Sierra Mathers,” he said as he pulled at a lock of her auburn hair.
“Is this a stronger skill than normal? Do you think it has something to do with being found ?” Seth asked the Scot.
“Aye.” Seth waited. Brice just looked at him with calm gray eyes.
“Okay, so you saw the pattern, and concluded Vargas was horning in on the action with Benitez, what else did your ‘spidey senses’ tell you?”
“That Vargas is going to grind Labado into so much dust, but not before killing a lot of innocents, and you’re trying to figure out how to stop it.”
“And?”
“Labado is trying to come up with an alternative source of income to make up for the shipments you have shut down,” Brice said, as his finger traced over one of the lines on the organizational charts on Sierra’s computer screen.
“Since he’s been cut off from shipping and selling arms into the US, I’m betting he’s started doing business with Africa,” Nate guessed.
“I would have preferred that.” The night was getting worse. He had stuffed down the thought of the auction, but he the bile was rising. “Labado’s has started a human trafficking ring.”
The three people in the room looked both sick and resigned, which told Seth all he needed to know. They obviously had worked on many different situations in the past.
“How deep is Labado into this?” Nate asked.
“Oh it’s deep, he’s got quite a pipeline.”
“Let me guess, it’s the bitch Leslie Gordon,” Sierra said with disgust. Seth raised an eyebrow in question.
“Something is severely bent about that creepy wench, I could just tell.”
“She’s a full-blown psychopath. This isn’t about a revenue stream, she is enjoying this.” Seth explained what he had seen.
“Let me see if I can track down the modeling agency she is using as a front,” Sierra said and yawned.
“Come on Mathers, we need to call it a night,” Nate said, as pushed down the top of her laptop. “You need to sneak back into your room,” he said turning to Seth.
“I figured out a way to short out the surveillance they have on you, so we can meet again,” Sierra assured him.
“It seems to me this new trafficking angle is perfect. We can use this to work our way in as buyers,” Brice said as Seth walked to the door.
“It looks like I might actually have a team I can trust.” He looked at the three in the room and smiled as he left. He wanted to ask if they were going to be speaking to Annie. To convey some sort of message, but what would he have them say? As he carefully let himself back into his room he realized he felt better and worse. He had to cling to the fact that through everything Annie had not turned away from him, and he had a daughter.
Chapter Seven
If both Noah and Kali were here in her apartment to talk, it couldn’t be good news. Annie hoped she had gotten through to Seth and he met with Brice, Nate and Sierra last night. They hadn’t called. She called Sierra, but only received her voicemail.
Maybe what they wanted to tell her is Seth was in love with his wife and he didn’t want to have anything to do with his old life, and it included Annie and his daughter. Seth obviously thought he was dreaming. Hell, so had she. Noah and Kali were both looking at her with such compassion. She felt her eyes well up.
“No, Annie, no. It’s nothing like you’re thinking. I’m so sorry, I’m not
