“Thank you.” I forced the door closed behind the cleaners and looked around for anything else I might have missed, but there wasn’t anything. The apartment was entirely empty now.
I locked the door behind me. Trinity still needed to talk to the property management company about the door. Or we could do it if she gave us the information. Still, I was happy this was finished, so it was both off her mind and she was entirely moved in.
Brooks
On my way with the trailer.
Theo
The stuff from Nestled is getting delivered soon, so we’ll meet you there.
Brooks
Don’t let the delivery people into our apartment.
A bunch of dots appeared and disappeared at the bottom of the texting thread.
Bastian
Why?
Brooks
It’s easier to explain in person. Be there soon.
The only strangers in our apartment since Trinity moved in were our cleaning staff, and only while we were away. We’d had the same cleaners for years, and we did trust them. Now I felt like we needed to recheck everything.
Paranoid? Maybe. If I was, the others would keep me in check.
The truck from Nestled was in the garage, the guys taking stuff up in trips, while the delivery people stood there awkwardly. Logan came over and opened the truck door after I parked. “We need them to install some of the stuff Rin ordered. What’s up?”
“As long as someone is with them at all times. After seeing the way her apartment was trashed, I don’t think it was a random break-in. It’s probably an overreaction, but I don’t like the idea of strangers in her nest after seeing that. Or anyone getting a good look inside our home.”
His face sharpened and became more serious. “Got it.”
“Maybe Aiden can run a background check.”
The man in question was already heading toward us. “I already did. Nestled already does background checks on its employees, and these two are squeaky clean. We’ll still have Bastian stay with them.”
“All right.”
Logan went to relay that message, and Aiden stayed with me. His expression told me he already knew I needed to speak with him.
“You’ve been looking into what Trinity is looking into, right?”
“I have. Alerts and crawlers for her name on every corner of the internet. All our names, actually. She has some incendiary information, that’s for sure, but so far she hasn’t made any waves. Like I said, I haven’t had a lot of time to go through all of it. If anything really urgent pops up, I’ll be alerted.”
“How good does someone have to be for you not to find something?”
“Pretty fucking good.”
“But it’s not impossible?”
He inclined his head. “No, not impossible. Just unlikely.”
“It’ll be faster than asking the building. Can you check to see if there have been any attempts to come to our floor? Especially while we were down the coast?”
Aiden slid his hands into his pockets, but his expression was lethal. “What’s going on?”
