“Hey.”

“How was the coffee shop?” Vigo asked.

“It was fine,” I replied. “How was… whatever work you were doing today?”

“All good in the neighborhood,” Vigo said.

“What is it you guys do for work again?”

“That’s on a need-to-know basis,” Hawk said without looking away from his game. “And you don’t need to know.”

“Fine,” I muttered, heading for the hall. “Whatever.”

“Who’s Travis Dorsey?”

I froze and looked back at Vigo, still staring at the TV and pressing buttons on the video-game controller. “Who?”

“Travis Dorsey.”

I turned back around and headed back into the living room. “What do you know about Travis Dorsey?”

“Just that you’ve been stalking him,” Vigo said.

“I’m not— ” I took a deep breath. What the fuck? “I’m not stalking him.”

“That’s what it looks like from your search history,” Vigo said.

I narrowed my eyes. “How would you know anything about my search history?”

“It’s in your computer.”

I put a hand on my hip. “And how would you know what’s in my computer? How would you even be able to getinto my computer?”

“With your password.”

I flipped through the memories in my mind and understood. “You saw it over my shoulder the other night.”

He pointed a finger at me like a gun. “You’re catching on.”

“I didn’t give you permission to go snooping on my computer.”

“We don’t need permission,” Hawk said, still focused on the TV. “For anything.”

“Goddamnit.” I spun on my heel, but they weren’t going to make it that easy.

“So?” Jagger asked behind me. “Who is he? Travis Dorsey.”

I turned around and found they were all looking at me, the video game and Jagger’s phone forgotten. “You’re not going to let it go, are you?”

Vigo grinned. “Probably not.”

I sighed. “Fine. But I’m going to the kitchen. I’m starving.”

I sat at the island,glad the Hawks had cushy leather chairs instead of bar stools that would have required me to perch. I was tired, and I relaxed against the thick back even though I felt anything but relaxed.
