Page 60 of Cruel Salvation

His laugh was cut short as her phone rang in her pocket. They stilled at the door as she looked down at her phone. “It’s Duchess.”

Damon nodded as she answered.

“We have a location on Andrea.”

“Oh my God, that’s fantastic. I’m heading back.”

“No time. Stay there and we’ll update you as soon as we have her.”

“Duchess, don’t you dare shut me out.”

“I’m not. We need the numbers on Simon as we have no location on Tim Cooper, and the chances are he’ll come for Simon. We did pick up Eric Johnson and he’s completely unaware of anything, so it looks like just those two were involved.”

Lotus didn’t like not being there when they took down Andrea, but she had little choice. “Fine, keep me posted.”

“Will do.”

Lotus hung up and looked at Damon. “They have a location on Andrea.”

His eyes locked with hers, reading her so easily. “Why don’t you look happy about it?”

Lotus shook her head. “I don’t know. Something just feels off. It’s too quick.”

“Maybe we just caught a break.”

“Maybe.”

She let him lead her back inside the house where they waited for news, but she couldn’t shake the feeling something was very wrong.
