had anything to do with the theft,” Adam finally admitted. “But something is definitely up with her. She’s cagey about her sister. That puts up a red flag for me, but she appears sincerely upset about the missing arrow.”
“Do you think she could still be in danger?”
“Hard to say, sir. This situation is strange, to say the least.”
“I want you to stick close to her.”

“She’s a tenuous link between her sister’s death and the Jeffries murder. The attack on Miss Gomez seems too calculated to be coincidence. If the two fatalities aren’t related to the attack on Miss Gomez, then no harm done. But if she’s the key to solving the mystery surrounding her sister’s fall, Michael’s murder and finding Erin Eagleton then we’d be remiss in not keeping Miss Gomez under close watch. I’ve got Senator Eagleton breathing down my neck to find his daughter.”
Adam’s pulse tripped over itself. “I understand, sir. Are we talking 24/7?”
“Yes. You can enlist the DC police for help as needed. Keep me updated.”
