that she would have been much as a mother.
“I didn’t go back to my house after I delivered Tanner on your brother’s porch." Mia said.
“Because you thought I’d follow you there." Logan knew where she was going with this, “But it might have saved you from Genevieve or whoever was following you."
She nodded. "I went into hiding again. I’d set up an emergency cash fund and I used that. No credit cards. No paper trail. Or so I thought. I probably should have left the state, or the country."
Logan was thankful she hadn’t, because he might have never found his son. But if she had left, then Tanner and she would have been safe.
His phone rang and when Logan glanced at his cell screen, he saw that the call was from Jason Cartwright, one of the P.I.s who worked for him. "Tell me you have some good news." Logan greeted the man. He stepped out of the guest room so that the conversation wouldn’t wake Tanner.
Mia followed him into the nearby kitchen.
“No good news." Jason explained. "All I have is information that may or may not be helpful. I just came from Mia Crandall’s house. The crime-scene folks didn’t find anything, and none of her neighbors could give even a sketchy description of the person inside the gunman’s vehicle."
Logan cursed under his breath. He hadn’t really expected an eyewitness account that would lead to an arrest, but lie had hoped that someone at least thought they saw Genevieve in that car. Without that, the police wouldn’t have enough to get a search warrant to go through her house and vehicles.
“Did the police bring Genevieve in for questioning?" Logan wanted to know,
“They did, just about a half hour ago. She had her lawyer with her."
“Royce Foreman?" Logan asked.
“That’s the one. You know him?"
Logan tried not to groan too loudly."I’ve met him. Foreman is a former lover and very devoted to her. He couldn’t stand the sight of me, and I’m about certain that he’s not only in love with Genevieve, he’d do anything for her."
Jason thought about that."You believe he could have been the gunman in that car?"’
“It’s possible. I hope the cops will swab his and Genevieve’s hands for gunshot residue "
“I’ll make sure they do."
But both the P.l. and Logan knew that if the shooter had worn gloves, then there would not be any evidence of the residue.
“If Royce Foreman was the shooter, then this might be important," Jason continued."Before the shooting, you asked us to check out the surveillance videos of the Wilson Pediatric Clinic.
I had a team do that and we saw the person who put the bug in Mia Crandall’s car. It happened right before you got there."
Well, the good news was that he hadn’t led this person to Mia, but that didn’t give Logan much comfort. The person had likely followed an obvious paper trail of pediatric appointments.
And that meant anyone could have done it.
“You have a photo of the person who planted the bug?" Logan hoped.
“No. The person was wearing bulky clothes and kept turned away from the surveillance camera.
It was obvious that he knew about the security and didn’t want to be recognized."
So, it could have been Genevieve. Or not. With her money and resources, she could have hired someone to do the job.
“What about the vehicle the person used?" Logan asked."Did you get anything from that?"
“No. But there might be something else. I went back through several hours on the surveillance tapes, and I saw someone in the parking lot about three hours before Ms. Crandall’s appointment with the pediatrician. The person seemed to be checking out the place, then he parked one building over."
Oh, he did not like the sound of this, “He?" Logan questioned.
“It was definitely a man. And no ski mask. But I don’t think it’s the same person who put the bug in Ms. Crandall’s car"
Logan didn’t like the sound of that, either. Was it possible they had more than one person after
