“But she keeps asking for you.”
“Tell her I’m glad she’s okay.”
“Christopher.”
“What?”
“She didn’t come alone.”
I frowned.
“What does that mean?”
“There are three people with her.”
“Family?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Then who?”
“One is an attorney.”
My stomach tightened.
“Why does she have an attorney?”
“I don’t know.”
“And the other two?”
“I heard one of them say Halston Capital.”
The name stirred a memory.
Then I recognized it.
Halston Capital was a major private-investment organization involved in acquisitions, property, logistics, and technology.
It was the kind of firm that bought entire businesses and appeared regularly in financial publications.
“What does Halston Capital have to do with her?”
“I don’t know.”
I stood.
“Where’s Gavin?”
“In Conference One.”
“With her?”
“Yes.”
“How long?”
“Almost ten minutes.”
Nina lowered her voice even further.
“And Chris?”
“What?”
“I have never seen Gavin this scared.”
