“No one is disputing that, Princess Leia, so calm down.” Tate took her hand. “But the question is, why did Kobie make up his story—”

“How about to derail the election?” the blonde said. “Because he doesn’t want a woman in power who is a moderate and might actually unite the parties?”

“Down, girl,” Tate said. He turned to Coco. “Glo is just super protective of her mother’s run for office.”

Her mother?

“RJ, can you verify his story about his brother and being a POW?” Tate asked.

“Once the senator reinstates me, yes,” RJ said.

“She’s working on it,” Tate said.

“I can’t believe we found the second bomber,” Knox said. He had his arm around the brunette, his fingers laced through her hand, and Coco took a guess—Kelsey, his girlfriend.

Kelsey seemed serious, like Knox, a little hesitant to smile, but when she looked at him, she fairly glowed.

Good. Knox deserved someone who loved him for the hero he was.

In fact, they all did.

“More like he found us,” Tate said.

“You have to admit, if what he said about Reba was true, it gives motive to whoever was shooting at me,” Wyatt said. “I mean, if it was Gustov, why would he wantmedead?”

York leaned up from the window. “To silence you?”

“The world wants to know what it was you were going to say about Jackson,” RJ said quietly.

“I’ll endorse her, just like I had planned,” Wyatt said.

“Damien Gustov works for the Bratva,” York said. “At least that’s the working theory. Why would the Bratva want Wyatt dead? Or the information silenced.”

“That is, if itwasGustov pulling the trigger,” Tate said. “We still haven’t found the shooter.”

“I know how we might be able to find Gustov,” Coco said quietly.

Silence.

She looked at York. “I snooped around the dating files.”

“What dating files?” RJ said.

“Gustov has emails from a dating site he’s active on. Maybe we post something, act like we’re interested—”

“No. No way,” Wyatt said. “The last thing we need is to be on the run from Gustov here in America.”

“We already are,” York said. He gestured to Coco, then RJ. “He hasn’t tied up all his loose threads—”

“What if he’s not here for us?” RJ said suddenly.

All eyes turned to her.

“What if he’s here because the Bratva sent him? What if he’s here because there’s another agenda?”

“Like?” Tate asked.

“Like derailing this election? Or putting someone else in power? Or, I don’t know—I mean, why, out of all places, was he in a position to shoot at Wyatt today? What if his real target was Jackson?”
