“You do realize this could also be a set up to getyouin Austin, right? She could just be the red herring that draws our attention away from the real target. That’s exactly why Tucker will have eyes on you at all times. This is not up for discussion,” Shadow concludes.
“Point taken, Shadow,” I agree.
The three of us pour over the plan again, mapping where each person will be, how we’ll ensure Sophia’s safety, and what we’ll do should this turn out to be a simple dinner. None of us believe that is the case, but luck favors the prepared. Shadow and Tucker leave the room and I’m left to stare at the building plans alone.
I’ve tried to string together the pieces of this mind-fuck puzzle over and over again.
Harrison Dictman sent Sophia to ruin me with a sexual harassment lawsuit.
Harrison claims he has proof that I killed Carol Ann.
Harrison has evidence against Sophia’s brother, Shawn, which he used to control her.
Shawn is facing prison time if that evidence resurfaces. He has ties to the Mexican drug cartel.
Sophia’s father, Manuel, has a history of being an assassin for the cartel.
Sarah, Sophia’s mother, kept calling her just before the house fire.
What the fuck am I missing?
