Was that why his captain had sent him to the museum rather than one of the other team members? To force Adam into a situation where he would have to call on his FBI investigative training?
Adam sent up a silent plea for clarity. He searched his heart and found only peace.
“I don’t think she had anything to do with the theft,” Adam finally admitted. “But something is definitely up with her. She’s cagey about her sister. That puts up a red flag for me, but she appears sincerely upset about the missing arrow.”
“Do you think she could still be in danger?”
“Hard to say, sir. This situation is strange, to say the least.”
“I want you to stick close to her.”
The air left his lungs in a swoosh. “Sir?”
“She’s a tenuous link between her sister’s death and the Jeffries murder. The attack on Miss Gomez seems too calculated to be coincidence. If the two fatalities aren’t related to the attack on Miss Gomez, then no harm done. But if she’s the key to solving the mystery surrounding her sister’s fall, Michael’s murder and finding Erin Eagleton then we’d be remiss in not keeping Miss Gomez under close watch. I’ve got Senator Eagleton breathing down my neck to find his daughter.”
Adam’s pulse tripped over itself. “I understand, sir. Are we talking 24/7?”
“Yes. You can enlist the DC police for help as needed. Keep me updated.”
“You can count on me, sir.” He would be dogging Lana’s every step for the foreseeable future. Spending time with her. Observing each and every move. 24/7.
He recalled the way he’d reacted to her licking her lips, and a flare of heat flushed through him, followed quickly by sharp-edged concern.
No question. Watching the lovely Miss Gomez while keeping his interest at bay would be a lot harder than it sounded.
