Just when Raine thought maybe he was rethinking the whole cop thing and having her arrested, his gaze met hers again.

The look of concern had been replaced with one of determination.

“You wanted to meet with me,” Callum said. “Here’s your chance. And the only reason I’m giving it to you is because your gun wasn’t loaded. Start talking.”

She bristled at his command. “I don’t see the point in pleading my case. The police are going to throw me in jail when they get here.”

“Not if I don’t press charges.”

She hesitated. Was this a trick? “Why would you change your mind now?”

The man named Asher nodded in agreement. “Good question. She abducted you, Callum. Held you at gunpoint and handcuffed you to a chair. Whether the gun was loaded or not is irrelevant.”

“What she did was reprehensible,” Callum admitted, “but I wasn’t hurt. And we both have something each other needs. I want the name of that killer. She wants my help to save her brother.”
