“No, but we’ll find out,” he promised.

Everyone but Nash and Carla was waiting when they stepped inside the house.

Max had already flown back to Seattle.

“What the hell happened?” King asked.

“I didn’t find the ledger.” Sara’s lips pulled down sadly.

Ana hurried over and hugged Sara.

“I heard them order the cleaners,” Ana whispered to Sara, trying to keep her voice low, but Levi heard Ana and so did the rest of the men.

“I was inside the lounge and someone tried to take me,” Sara said, her voice shaking slightly.

At least her hands and the rest of her had stopped. It was shock, but after the attack in the alley and then the attack tonight, she felt ready to jump out of her skin.

Why was this happening? She was really starting to hate San Francisco.

She huddled deep inside Levi’s jacket, loath to take it off. She wanted to keep the warmth and his scent around her. It made her feel safe, as if she were in his arms and nothing on earth could hurt her.

“Let’s sit down and we can go over what happened,” Levi said, noticing her dazed look. That had to be some residual of the attack. He was kicking himself in the fucking ass for not waiting inside with her.

He gently took her arm and guided Sara to the sofa.

Rowan hurried into the kitchen and came back in a minute with a hot cup of coffee.

Sara looked at the cup and thanked the man when she took it, but she only cupped it between her fingers, not sipping at it.

Rowan moved to the dining room table and opened his laptop. In moments, Rowan was immersed, gazing at the screen.

“Tell us what happened when you left the office.” Levi gently sat next to Sara, careful to keep some distance between them, but not too much. He wanted her to know he was there, but wouldn’t crowd her.

They’d had a great time sitting together on the back patio and he didn’t want to jeopardize that.

“I was in the hallway and two men came out of the storage room.”

“Fuck. I should have checked that room,” Levi muttered, running a hand down his face.

“They must have been in there for a while,” King said.

“I don’t think so. I don’t remember seeing them earlier.” Sara shook her head. “Kevin must have let them in through the back door when he left.”

“Maybe…” Levi didn’t look convinced. “What about the video feed to the office? You cut that, right?” Levi turned in Rowan’s direction.

“Yes,” Rowan said, shooting him an impatient glare before going back to the computer screen. “There’s no feed to the main cameras, but he could have a backup device that’s connected to WIFI that we don’t know about.”

“So, he could have been watching while she was searching his office.” Levi clenched his hands into fists.

“Let’s not jump to conclusions. Those two men could have been there for another reason,” King said.

“Slade is taking one of them to the warehouse,” Levi said.

“Where’s the other?” West asked.

“Dead,” Levi said flatly.

“Good,” West said, walking over to join Rowan at the dining room table.
