Honeymoon To Die For Read Online Free PDF

lost what little color he’d had. Anguish flooded his eyes.
    Guilt clubbed Bianca, but she shook it off. Her team had built a file based on facts. Van Dyke would have a chance to dispute them and argue his innocence in court.
    In the span of a second, Van Dyke’s face shuttered again.
    But in that tiny moment when his hard shell had cracked, Bianca had gotten a glimpse of the man in the military photos whose beautiful gray eyes had screamed honorable the first time they’d smiled up at her from his file.
    Those eyes had tormented her dreams, accusing her of sending Van Dyke to his death.
    Ryder Van Dyke’s case would be decided by a jury. She had no reason to lose sleep, but tell that to her mind at night.
    And her daddy had taught her a simple rule a long time ago.
    People lie. Facts don’t.
    Murdock continued, “Let’s get down to business. We want to infiltrate Van Dyke operations. We’re willing to offer you a chance to reduce the length of your sentence, Van Dyke, if you help us figure out how to insert one of our people inside the Van Dyke family compound and the headquarters of Van Dyke Enterprises.”
    “For what purpose?” Van Dyke asked, surprising Bianca when he didn’t argue his innocence.
    Was he finally accepting the future he faced?
    “To gather evidence that Hubrecht Van Dyke is selling arms to terrorists.”
    Van Dyke sat back and looked over at Sabrina. “What do you know about this?”
    “Just what you’ve heard.”
    Then Van Dyke lifted an eyebrow in question at Finnick, who said, “Any agreement here will be binding by law with all of us as witnesses.”
    “Bottom line,” Van Dyke ordered.
    Finnick nodded, understanding what was asked of him. “There is still no murder weapon in J. K. Kearn’s death, but the circumstantial evidence is strong. Additionally, in the case of the guard’s death, the eye-witnesses and videotape will bear significant weight with regard to the trial.”
    Bianca watched Sabrina, who stared at Van Dyke during a long silence then said, “We’ll support any decision you make.”
    That seemed obvious based on Slye Temp’s having paid for his legal defense. So what exactly had Sabrina meant by her statement?
    Van Dyke addressed Murdock. “You can’t get inside the family compound without me.”
    “Right.”  Bianca made a soft scoffing sound that brought the prisoner’s attention to her.
    Van Dyke’s eyes gleamed with condescending amusement. “If any of your research is accurate, you would know that.”   
    That got Bianca’s back up. “My team’s research is spot on. I know how tightly your father controls his world. What I was commenting on was the fact that you think we’ll just turn you loose.”
    He sat forward and when he did all that dangerous energy came with him. His voice lost any hint of civility. “I’ll make this real simple so take notes if you can’t keep up. If I agree to help you, I have to go with the agent being inserted for any chance of getting inside that compound, or the VDE offices that rival the Pentagon for security. If the agent with me makes a mistake, we’re both dead. So the person facing the greatest risk right now is me.”
    Murdock broke in. “You’d have to wear an RFID chip.”
    “Think I don’t know that? But we both know they don’t have much range.”
    “The new RFID-X does. It was developed for us.”
    Bianca clenched the pen in her hand, shocked that Murdock was considering releasing Van Dyke. She knew Murdock’s number-one priority was to nail Hubrecht Van Dyke, but to risk giving this prisoner a chance to escape and vanish?
    Asking Murdock about that right now would be the fastest way to put the kibosh on her hopes for a permanent position on his anti-terrorism team.  
    Sabrina interjected, “My team can back him up.”
    Murdock shook his head. “No. Our people only.”
    Van Dyke and Sabrina traded a look, a silent communication that resulted in Van Dyke saying, “No deal.”
    “What?”
