them?
“Was this other man driving the gray car?" Logan asked,
“No. A white SUV. There’s no clean image of the license plates so I can’t run them. The man stayed there in the adjacent parking lot until after you arrived, and then it appears he followed you and Ms. Crandall when you left the scene."
Logan cursed again. He’d been so damn preoccupied with the gray car that he hadn’t even noticed the white SUV.
“I took a still shot from the surveillance video," Jason continued.
“I’m sending a photo over your cell. See if you recognize him"
Logan looked at the screen and loaded the picture. It took a moment for the grainy shot to appear in full, but it wasn’t so grainy that he could see the man who was lurking around the parking lot. And the guy was definitely lurking—everything about his body language suggested that.
Mia moved closer and had a look as well."I’ve seen that man before."
“Yes. So have I. Well, I’ve seen another picture of him, anyway. That’s Donnie Bishop. He’s obviously back in the country."
What the heck did Bishop want, and was he the person who’d tried to kill them?
Logan put the phone back to his ear."Find Donnie Bishop." he instructed Jason."Take him to the police, but I want to talk to him, too. Listen in on his conversations before and after he’s at the police station, I want to know what he’s up to."
“Will do, boss"
“That’s Donnie Bishop?" Mia asked almost frantically when he ended the call.
Logan looked at her and saw the renewed panic in her eyes."It is. Where have you seen him?"
Mia swallowed hard, “He was at the hospital when I was nursing Tanner."
Because of her reaction, he slipped the phone into his pocket and caught on to her shoulders."Did he threaten you or something?"
“No" Her eyes widened."But he asked about Collena Drake, He wanted to know where she’d be taken after surgery. And the nurse told him"
Hell.
Logan grabbed his phone to call the hospital. He already had one of his team in the corridor outside the recovery area, but that might not be enough.
He only hoped he wasn’t too late.
Chapter Six
Mia lay in the bed of Logan’s guest room and listened to his phone conversation. Something she’d been doing for the past half hour.
Even though he was in the kitchen, she could hear snatches of what he said. Mainly, though, she could tell from the calm tone of his voice that everything was okay with Collena.
His tone was in direct contrast to the calls he’d made the night before when they’d realized that Donnie Bishop had been at the hospital. Then, Logan had made a flurry of calls to the police and his team so that security could be provided for Collena.
Thankfully, the security hadn’t been necessary, Donnie Bishop hadn’t shown his face again anywhere near the hospital and especially not near Collena’s room. Mia figured the man had seen one of Logan’s team members and had decided not to make a second attempt.
But that left her with questions.
Did that mean Donnie Bishop was after Collena and not her? Or maybe Bishop had no part in the shooting. Maybe he was there at the hospital for other reasons.
But what would those be?
Mia didn’t know, but she figured all of this was connected to the Brighton Birthing Center.
Tanner stirred, finishing his breakfast. That was Mia’s cue to burp him. Despite the fatigue headache and her not-so-rosy outlook for the immediate future, just holding Tanner close made her feel better. She kissed his cheek, then changed his diaper.
It was the last one in her bag, which meant she’d need a fresh supply within the next two hours.
Looking down at the bulky navy-blue pj’s, she realized the same was true for her. She didn’t even have a change of underwear.
She’d have to ask Logan to get some things for her.
Mia was already dreading that. She hated relying on him, even though she knew she had no choice. Tanner had to come first and, whether she liked it or
