Ample Delights (27 page)
Authors: Nichelle Gregory
“Tess and Scott…?”
Quin adjusted the heat towards her. “Scott’s part of the heist.”
“What?” Her mouth fell open. No way was that possible. Scott—Tess’s soon-to-be fiancé—a jewellery thief?
“This wasn’t a random jewellery heist. I’m afraid your friend’s boyfriend is not one of the good guys. He’s part of a highly sophisticated theft ring that we’ve being tracking for a while.”
Nia gasped. “I don’t believe it.”
“Believe it.”
The serious look on his handsome face spoke volumes. There was no mistake. Scott was a liar, thief and who knew what else.
Poor Tess.
She stared out the window, watching snowflakes hit the glass and melt as Quin answered another call. There were important calls she had to make too. Donovan Fletcher would want details on what happened in his premier jewellery store and how she planned to handle it all.
“Are you any warmer?”
“You didn’t say anything about Tess.” She turned away from the window to look at him.
“There’s no sign of her at the store.”
Nia’s stomach somersaulted. “Do you think Scott kidnapped her?”
“It’s a possibility we’re looking into, but more than likely not the case.”
“What do you mean?” She could see the tautness in his jaw line as he glanced at her.
“I think you better start wrapping your head around the idea she may be involved with this thing too.”
“No, way.” She shook her head in a daze. “Tess, would never—”
“How long have you known her?”
“She’s been with Fletcher’s almost a year. I hired her myself.” Despite being her boss, Nia considered the two of them friends.
Quin nodded. “That’s how this thing works. They get someone inside to help with the heist they’ve been planning for months. These guys are very good at what they do.”
Nia stared at him, trying to picture Tess a part of something so wrong.
“We suspected they might hit your store or another one of Fletcher’s calibre sometime during the holiday season. I’ve been watching your store for two weeks for any suspicious activity and nothing until tonight. I saw those two men pull up with Scott and I knew something was going to go down. I called for backup, but I knew they wouldn’t get there in time.”
“In time to stop the robbery?”
“In time to save your life.”
