Page 28 of Dangerous Attraction

"Okay, if you won't tell me how you managed to get her into your car and take her there, how about you tell me why you took a picture of her friend? You interested?"

Glancing at him over my shoulder, I shake my head.

"Not at all," I retort, stopping outside the second bedroom on the right. "I'm trying to find out who she surrounds herself with so I can know whether we should trust her or not."

I knock on Ghost's bedroom door, then pull down on the handle, pushing it open.

Most would probably consider it rude, but it's common knowledge that Ghost hardly ever sleeps, and majority of the time he's never even here, so I don't see the point in waiting.

As suspected, he's sitting at his desk, eyes glued to the computer screens in front of him, with his back toward us as we enter the dark room.

He swivels around in his chair, his long, black hair shadowing his face.

"What do you need?" he asks, his voice rough and scratchy.

Pulling my phone out again, I hand it to him.

"I want to find out who she is."

He looks down at the picture, nods, then turns around and plugs a cable into my phone.

"You got a name?"

"No, but she's friends with Trix, so that might help," I tell him.

He shrugs, typing away on his keyboard.

"I've already looked into Trix, and this woman didn't come up."

Now that information piques my interest.

I move closer to him, slightly leaning over his shoulder.

"What did you find when you looked into Trix?"

He turns toward me with narrowed eyes.

"The information I gathered on her was for the Prez, not for you."

Milo's hand lands on my arm, and he drags me backwards, eyes glistening with amusement.

"You seem really bothered about all of this," he says, raising a questioning brow. "And I'm going to assume that if you haven't taken an interest in the woman on your phone, then you've probably taken an interest in Trix. Am I right?"

Scoffing, I smack his hand off of me.

"Let me know when you find something," I say to Ghost, whirling around and storming out of the room.

Milo has no idea what he's talking about.

Yes, I'm intrigued by the pretty little redhead who's suddenly working here, but that doesn't mean I have any interest in her.

I just want to make sure she can be trusted before I feel confident enough to let her stay here, surrounding herself with my brothers, and digging her way into this life.

Plus, she's best friends with my little brother. I want to make sure she's not involved in anything that could cause him any harm, because it's my job to make sure he stays safe and out of trouble.

He's already mentioned she's in some sort of trouble, and I'm determined to figure out what it is.
