All the identities were real. Even though every movement abroad was legitimate, only the name had been changed.

Given how little the Harrison family knew about Mario, even if they saw photo, they wouldn’t have recognized him, let alone with a different name.

“Larry and Henry got into it at the Harrison residence,” Wendy said as she returned from next door, taking Chase’s place in the conversation. “Larry blamed Henry for messing things up. Said he lost the rights because of him–and you got lucky instead.”

Lemon didn’t look surprised at all. “Those two were always going to fall out. This time, Chase just happened to be the excuse.”

Dinner was nearly done when Waylon showed up late. He walked in, paused at the sight of Caesar, and then glanced over at Mario beside him, realizing who he was. That made it all the more interesting.

“The guy the Harrison family’s been breaking their backs trying to find overseas,” Waylon said, raising his eyebrows, “just waltzes back home and sits down in the middle of a room full of elites–and not a single one recognizes you. I guess you really don’t look like your father.”

Mario had heard plenty about Waylon. He lifted his glass and clinked it across the table. “Of course not. I take after my mother–about 70 percent, especially the eyes. Practically identical. But my father kept her hidden well. No one in the Harrison family has ever seen her.”

Which meant that from the beginning, he and his mother had been kept far outside the circle.

All for the sake of their safety.

“Let’s talk business,” Waylon said, ignoring the food, his tone serious as he turned to Chase. “I might need your help. Remember that woman Aimee from 316 that you mentioned last time?”

“I remember.” Chase nodded. “What happened?”

“She’s been kidnapped,” Waylon said flatly.

The whole room froze. Chase instinctively turned to Wendy. She had clearly assigned someone to watch Aimee–there was no way she could have been taken.

Wendy paused, clearly stunned. “I sent Dawn overseas to find someone for me. He just left yesterday…”

“She was taken last night.”

It must’ve been in the middle of the night. Aimee was still recovering from her injuries–no one knew why she even went downstairs. But just like that, she was gone. The family got a call from the kidnappers this morning.

“How much are they asking for?” Lemon asked. “If I remember right, the Duncan family’s just middle–class. They’d struggle to pull together anything over 150 thousand dollars.”

Waylon shook his head. “They don’t want money. They want a hard drive.”

Aimee was a journalist–an international one no less
