She has changed into jeans and a shirt, and her wet hair is pulled into a ponytail. “Did he say my brother is looking for me?”

Fuck.

Bennett ends the call, and Audrey rushes toward us. “Where is he?”

Bennett and I look at each other, and Audrey pales. “What happened? Is he okay?”

I stand up and put a hand on her shoulder. “Your brother wants to see you. That’s all we know.”

She immediately reaches for her phone in her back pocket.

Bennett grabs her wrist gently. “What are you doing?”

She looks at him like he has two heads. “I’m going to call my brother.”

“No.”

Her eyes snap to his. “Excuse me?”

“We need to figure out what’s going on first.”

She pulls her wrist free. “If Grant needs me, I’m going.”

Bennett shakes his head. “No, you’re not.”

Audrey glares at him. “You can’t tell me what to do.”

I move closer to her. “Audrey, listen to Bennett. We just want you safe.”

She looks up at me, her big blue eyes glistening with unshed tears. “But it’s my brother.”

Bennett is frustrated and rams his hand through his hair. “It could be a trap. Your dad could be setting this whole thing up to get to you.”

Her eyes widen. “It’s my brother. He wouldn’t do that.”

But even as she says it, I can see the doubt on her face. Maybe the brother she once knew would never do that, but the one that is addicted to drugs and under his father’s thumb might if he’s threatened.

I look at Bennett. “Let her arrange a meetup.”

Bennett gives me an angry look. “What are you thinking? Why?”

I nod. “We want Victor. If it’s a trap, we get Victor. If it’s not a trap, we help Grant and bring him to Audrey.”

She looks at Bennett with hope. “Please, this is my brother, Bennett.”

He looks at her, and I know he can’t tell her no. If something happens to her brother, she will never forgive us. “Fine. You arrange a meetup, but you’re not going. We will meet with Grant and bring him to you. If it’s a trap then⁠—”

Audrey cuts him off. “I don’t want to know what you do with my father. I just want my brother.”

Bennett nods in understanding.

Audrey pulls a zip drive from the front pocket of her jeans. “Here. I want you to hold on to this.”

Bennett just stares at the zip drive without taking it. “Why?”

She shrugs. “If anything happens to me, I want you to have it to be able to take my father down.”

Bennett is shaking his head. “Nothing is going to happen to you.”
