papers away from them.”
     
    “What if they have copies?”
     
    “Copies won’t stand in a court of law.” He waved his hand. “So here is what we’re going to do. You’ll wait here. I’ll go and meet this man, and when he hands me the papers, I’ll call you. You’ll escort Tania out of the gate and give her the phone so she can talk to Jason. He insisted on that, said that he wouldn’t be comfortable handing over the papers until he was sure Tania was no longer in my custody.”
     
    “Damn!” muttered Riley. “So we’ll have to let her go?”
     
    “We don’t have a choice. She made a brilliant plan; I’ll give her that,” he said in a furious voice. “But as long as she doesn’t have any evidence, it wouldn’t matter if she were out. And if she does try to go to the police later, we could always take care of her later.”
     
    Riley sucked in a deep breath. The man was bloodthirsty. He wouldn’t just stop here. Whenever he got the chance, he would eliminate Tania to avoid the risk of ever getting caught. It wasn’t just enough to scare these people. They needed to put them behind bars. “You could call someone to go with you.”
     
    “That Jason guy is Mr. Hollywood. You think he would have the guts to try something on me in plain broad day? I don’t think so. No. This is easy and quick. I go out and collect the papers. You stay here, guard her, and, when the times comes, release her. That’s all we need to do. I trust you, Riley. You brought her in and now you’ve got to see this through.”
     
    Riley nodded, hoping his eyes didn’t betray him. “I’ll do it. She will remain in this room and would only move out when you call me.”
     
    “Good man!” Raymond clapped him on the back. “Needless to say, when all this is behind us, I would be happy to put your name forward as a member of the board.”
     
    “It would be an honor to serve as a high member,” he said in a voice that brimmed with honesty. Of course, there was a time when he wanted this above anything. He needed that prestige, but now all he wanted was to keep Tania safe. One thing, he was happy about: Jason’s idea to fine tune the plan was brilliant. The guy had worked on so many scripts that he sure knew what would work in a given situation. He’d assured them Raymond would do either of two things: he would send Riley out to collect the papers or else he would go on his own. If he’d sent out Riley, Jason would’ve called the man and said he wanted to meet with him personally. But Jason had been confident that Raymond would come himself because he wouldn’t want Riley to get his hands on such key evidence. Out of the two things, Tania and the evidence, the evidence was more precious to him and he would want to keep it in his grasp.
     
    “I should leave now. The guy didn’t give much time – seemed eager to get her back. He’s a really good friend.” He wriggled his brow. “It appears she may have been pleasing him in more ways than one.”
     
    “It doesn’t matter to me. That part of our story is finished,” he said in a calm voice.
     
    “Good for you, Riley. That’s what I like about you. Your priorities are clear.” Raymond glanced at Tania and then checked his watch. “I should go. Take care.”
     
    After Raymond left, Riley waited until he heard the sound of the car driving off. He rushed to the window and checked to make sure he had, indeed, left. Now, there was much work to do. Raymond was a paranoid man and didn’t employ any domestic help for fear they would betray him. Thankfully, this meant they didn’t have to worry about prying eyes.
     
    Tania rushed out to join him. “Check his study first.”
     
    Out of his pocket, Riley pulled two pairs of gloves and passed one to her. “This is going to take some time.”
     
    “Let’s hope Jason can keep him occupied until then.”
     
    Their plan hinged on Raymond going on and leaving them at his house. They needed to get the papers from
