her and see who she’s going to meet. Because if we step in now, we could very easily blow a potentially huge lead.”
“No way.” Marcus paused at the intersection with a group of pedestrians waiting for the light to change. “This morning these goons tried to grab her off the street, which means they know she’s here. If we let her go without any kind of plan in place, we can’t make any guarantees about her safety.”
Once again, he had to give her credit for the fact that she was gutsy, and would clearly do anything to find her niece. But if it was the kidnappers she was planning to meet, they were looking at an entirely different scenario. Pulling her out now seemed like the wisest decision, because either way, he wasn’t willing to put Kate’s life at risk again.
He felt another line of defense crack within him. Why was it that those very strengths she was demonstrating right now were managing to make it so hard for him to separate personal from business? Because whether or not he wanted to admit it, she was managing to find a way through that fortified heart of his.
“And if your plan doesn’t work?” Marcus finally asked. “It’s too dangerous. She’s emotional, tired and running on adrenaline. Add jet lag to the mix and we’re simply asking for trouble.”
“Dangerous?” Pierre asked.
“What if we lose her?”
Half a dozen scenarios flashed through his mind, including her being snatched up by a bunch of thugs who sold illegal weapons for a living.
“I don’t know about the qualifications of your FBI, but we were trained for situations like this.”
“You’re the one who lost her in the first place.” The light turned and Marcus hurried across the street.
“Funny. Risks are a reality in any situation, Marcus. You can’t tie the girl to a chair and expect her to sit still.”
“Maybe, but I don’t think we should risk her life unnecessarily—”
“And if someone is watching her, contacting her now could actually put her life at risk. If she calls and tells you her plans, great. But until then, we’re going to follow at a distance until we find out who she’s meeting.”
