“Yes.”
“Then, yes. They are looking for you. Quite forcefully, I might add.”
“We’ve only been gone for little more than half an hour,” Axel said, glancing at his wrist watch.
“Apparently there was some sort of misunderstanding when a package showed up without the purchaser directly after the two of you left.”
“How do you know when we left?” Axel asked.
Cam pushed out a long sigh. “Do you even know who I am?”
“Who are you?” Lucy asked, her tone filled with awe.
“I’m in charge of security,” Cam responded to Lucy’s question. The one she hadn’t meant to ask out loud.
Axel clapped a hand to his forehead. “Right. You probably have us on camera leaving the facility, don’t you?”
Cam’s brows went north, affirming the question’s answer.
“So, you couldn’t even cut your own brother a bit of slack?”
“I could have, but the problem is that I’m not the only one who’s seen it.”
“Who else saw it?” Axel and Lucy asked at the same time.
“Director Patmore.”
Chapter Six
Axel went from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows in the space of a few seconds.
“Director Patmore! How? Why?”
Cam managed to look remorseful and perturbed at the same time. “He looked over my shoulder when the alert came through.”
“Alert?”
“The alert from the alarm that I put on the side door leading to the parking lot. I didn’t mean for him to see it, but he did and I can’t take it back, much as I want to.”
“And you have this alarm set why?” Axel resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Cam was in charge of security. He took it seriously. That was fine. He had a job to do. They all did. But did Cam have to stick his nose in everyone’s personal romantic business all the time?
“You know why. Remember when Diesel took Juliana out the same side door to the same parking lot?”
“Yes. I remember. She saw an alien.” Axel shook his head. He pointed to Lucy. “Here is some news, though. Lucy already knows about the aliens living here, Cam. Sheisan alien.”
“True. But she doesn’t have permission to leave the premises, does she?”
Axel grinned. “Well, you were the one that set that bad example right into place last month, Bro.”
“I know, which is why I came out here by myself. Patmore wanted to ride shotgun. I told him no thanks. You’re welcome.”
“How did you know to come here?”
Cam’s expression stilled. “Did I fail to mention that I have GPS tracking on all of our vehicles?”
“Yes, you certainly failed to mention that tidbit of news. Why would you do that?”
