them called.
    He stepped inside.
    “Where’s Hil?” Specs asked. A deep frown wrinkled his brow
and sat at odds with his upbeat attitude.
    “She’s back at the cabin. I didn’t kill her if that’s what
you’re worried about,” Hawk said, amused. “You got a crush on her or
something?”
    “No.” Specs scowled. “She’s like a sister.”
    “Right,” Hawk said skeptically. “Well, your sister’s fucked
up and I think she’s holding back. It ain’t a secret I’m not her favorite
person.”
    “I’m not so sure about that,” Gadget said thoughtfully.
    Hawk shook his head. “She’s been looking into the girls
Levi, Peter, Linden, and Emmit had dated.”
    “Jesus, if they know that, it could be more than just her in
trouble,” Specs said.
    “The women?” Hawk asked.
    “Maybe. At the very least they’d pay them a little visit to
make sure they weren’t growing bold. They’d be fools not to,” Gadget said.
    “Shit.” There was nothing Hawk hated worse than a man who
put his hand on a woman. It was the ultimate act of cowardice. “What do you
need to find out what’s going on?”
    “I’m working on Hil’s phone right now. My biggest concern
was how they found her at the library. They had to have tracked her some way.
Or been following her,” Specs said.
    “I’m working on her computer now. We could use Hilary here
to ask her questions, but that’s about it,” Gadget said.
    “I’ll send her over. Just give me a second to enjoy the
quiet.”
    Gadget snickered. “She’s not that bad, Hawk.”
    He grunted.
    “We got good news and bad news,” Gadget said.
    “Good first,” Hawk said feeling like he was in rapidly
rising rushing water.
    “We know who the victims are, and what might sway them
toward helping us. She was thorough. I’ll give her that,” Gadget said.
    “Great, she’s a regular girl scout. What’s the bad news?”
Hawk said. He cracked his knuckles.
    “They know she knows, and I give you anything they’re
looking for her,” Gadget said.
    “Of course they are,” Hawk said as his fingers itched to
wrap around her neck. She’d kept how much she knew about them to herself. Did
she talk to them already?
    “We got to keep her safe,” Specs said.
    Hawk nodded.
    “We should see if she brought all her research with her. I’m
going by what I can find, but she’s good at clearing things out,” Gadget said.
    “Her phone’s clean. I think they were following her,” Specs
said.
    I don’t know if that’s better or worse. “Now we
really need to know if she visited the victims.”
    “I’ll go get her,” Specs said standing.
    Hawk closed his eyes. He’d be stuck babysitting her. Pres
was tied up with Boston which left him in charge. This wasn’t a task to pass
off to someone else. He wasn’t used to being challenged. Especially by a woman.
Hilary seemed to live for the conflict. I could think of more interesting
things to have her mouth do. The minute she first set foot at a Mayhem
picnic she’d caught his eye. But she had this crazy frosty vibe that killed his
thought of approaching her. It didn’t stop his dick from getting hard though.
He’d rubbed quite a few out to thoughts of the curly-haired beauty. Most of
them involved creative ways to fill those full lips of hers and shut her mouth.
    “Tell me what you found before she gets here,” Hawk said,
shoving aside thoughts of her on her knees.
    “They were tracking her. Every time she looked at something.
I’m not sure what tipped them off. She went about it the right way with a dummy
email, but they were anticipating it. Given the fact that research is a part of
her profession they’d be imbeciles not to. And that’s the thing with these guys;
they’re stupid smart, and careful,” Specs said.
    “But we got them now, right?” Hawk said, ready to end this
mess brought on by self-indulgent assholes who thought the world owed them
something.
    “Yeah, it’s a matter of time until we track down
