“I know.”

She still had doubts that Chad had done what they said, but everything seemed to be pointing in his direction.

“Morrison, take Emily down to Charity’s lab.The two of them will work on searching for Brothers.”

“I know where her office is,” Emily said with a sniff.

“But you aren’t a member of TFH.You need an escort,” Seth said.To which Emily rolled her eyes, but she walked with Ryan to the elevators.

“Go on into the break room,” Seth said.“And I will apologize for Autumn if she appears to ask you millions of questions about cooking.”

She smiled.“I can handle that any day of the week.”

Eden frowned.“We’ll guard the door.”

Keely shrugged.“I’m in TFH Headquarters.If you can help TFH more, I’m sure I’ll be safe.”

“She’s safe, and Maya will be with her.I can guarantee that dog will not let anyone hurt her.”

Eden sighed.

“I promise I will stay in the breakroom.If you aren’t in the common room, I’ll text you even if all I need to do is pee.”Eden and Mix both looked like they wanted to argue with her.“Listen, I get that you are my protection, but if you can help with trying to find Chad and end this nightmare, I am all for that.”

“Okay.If anything is off, you text me right away.Or yell.”

Keely nodded.“I promise.”

Autumn walked up.“I want to ask you about those lobster rolls you made and how you made them into burritos, but Adam said I have to help with the search.”

The woman sounded so put out about it.“No worries.I’ll talk about food anytime.”

And she could.She was starting to think that she was made for teaching rather than running a kitchen.At the moment, though, she didn’t want to think about that.She didn’t have the bandwidth currently.Right now, she only had to hope that if Chad was behind all of this, no one else got hurt.She sat in one of the chairs, and Maya sat beside her.She just wanted it all to be over.

“Don’t be grumpy.You can dump me off, then go back up to your lady love,” Emily said as they stepped off the lift.

Ryan rolled his eyes.“Boss said to come down here with you, and that means stay with you.”

“I am not a threat.To you.Or to TFH.”

He slanted a look at the woman.She seemed delicate, but he had noticed the muscle definition.With Mad Dog Davis as her brother, she probably knew how to fight.

“I know that.Del is just really particular about protocol.”

He opened the door and held it open for her.

“Oh, nice manners.Also, just so you know, that kiss was so hot.”

“What kiss?”Charity asked.

“This one planted one on Keely before we came down.In front of everyone.Big points in my category.”

He shrugged.“It was just a kiss.”

She snorted.“It was to put everyone on notice that she is yours.And that is sexy.Better than trying to hide things.”

He frowned, but Emily hurried over to Charity.“Do you have a place for me to set up?”

Charity pointed to an area where she usually had forensic stuff stashed.“There you go.You can use my stuff, though.Del cleared you after chatting with Conner.”
