“Alex, you know that my interest in you was real.”
“What I know is that there are six of us together here for a storm. Together. I won’t be alone. And by the way, I don’t know a damn thing about the treasure, where it is, or what it has to do with dolphins, so you don’t need to draw me into casual conversation about it.”
“Alex, I really am with the authorities.”
“Want to show me some credentials?”
He pulled out his wallet, keeping his distance, showing her his identification.
“Consultant, right,” she said with polite skepticism.
“I’m a civilian employee, working special cases.”
“This is a special case?”
“I was a navy SEAL. This is a sea-related investigation.”
“Well, as we both know, IDs can be easily faked.”
“I’m telling the truth,” he said.
“So you went after Laurie?” she said, still polite, but her tone conveying that she didn’t believe a word.
“I didn’t go after Laurie. There was nothing personal between us. Besides, you were back with your ex-husband,” he said flatly, then added a careful, “And far too trusting of him, far too quickly.”
“Well, rest assured, I’m not sure if I trust anyone anymore. And now I see Jay. I have to lock up a few things and get up to the lodge. Excuse me, please.”
She walked by him as if she had all the confidence in the world. His eyes followed her, and he could see that she hadn’t been lying. Jay Galway was there.
Was he to be trusted?
There was little else he could do but hurry back for his own things and get to the storm room to join the others.
He looked at the sky just as the rain began.
