Victoria nodded. “Do what you must. But be careful. If Sean and Angela are in danger, we can’t make things worse.”

Alexander reached for his phone. “I’ll handle it. You stay with the children.”

Thomas Smith poured himself another scotch. The memory of Christopher Blake’s cold eyes haunted him.

He remembered arriving at Blake’s compound, finding Mr. Shaw unconscious and wounded. The doctors had stabilized him for transport, but Mrs. Wilson was nowhere to be found.

“We need to find her,” one of the security team had said.

“And you left her there?” Alexander’s voice ros

“She insisted.” Thomas explained quickly. “She made me promise to get Mr. Shaw to safety first. She was clear–no police, no public attention. She feared Blake might retaliate.”
