Chapter 7 - THE SECRET BENEATH THE RESTAURANT
The trouble began three weeks later.
A delivery arrived after midnight.
I was finishing my shift when I saw Tommy arguing with a driver near the loading entrance.
The driver looked familiar.
Tall.
Blond.
Wearing a navy jacket.
My stomach tightened.
Then he turned.
Evan Morgan.
Ava's father.
I froze.
He saw me.
His expression changed.
“Well.”
I stopped breathing.
He smiled.
“Look who works here.”
I backed away.
“What are you doing?”
He laughed.
“Business.”
My heart pounded.
Evan stepped closer.
“Where's my daughter?”
I swallowed.
“Not here.”
His smile vanished.
“Don't lie.”
Then Tommy appeared between us.
“Problem?”
Evan looked at him.
“No.”
Tommy studied me.
Then said, “Go inside.”
I didn't argue.

But as I walked away, I heard Evan say something that made my blood run cold.
“Tell Callaway I have what he wants.”
