Chapter 6

Chelsea dreaded letting go of Christie and Peter, but Dave's solemn expression as he completed his call to his partner left little doubt that they were still in danger.

"Come on," Dave replied, as he walked over to get them. "We can't stay any longer." It's best if we get started."

"Return to Paris?"

"There isn’t time for that now. It’ll be daylight in a few hours. The police might be on the way. We are good at night, but travelling after the two men outside is risky." She grinned wistfully, but the dangers he was taking for her tonight were not amusing for all of them right now. And she could tell from the tone of his speech that his desire to move on was not just motivated by his duty. His concern was more profound.

"Do you believe Hermano is still alive?"

Dave's square jaw pulsed with a tendon. "If he isn't dead yet, I promise you I won't stop until he is." But first, I need to make sure you and your family are safe. My buddy is preparing for someone to meet us in a safe location.
