if we’re going to catch this guy.”
    “And find Sunny.”
    “Sunny?”
    “My sister.”
    “Keira’s name is Sunny?”
    Andrea sighed. “When she was disowned and cut off, she decided to change her name. She figured if they didn’t want her, then she didn’t want a nything to do with them either. Not even their name. I helped her do it, so now she’s legally Sunny Chapman. It’s her fiancé Brad’s last name. They were going to get married, since they’d gotten pregnant. Keira figured that would have been her name anyway.”
    Liam nodded.
    You need to find her.”
    He didn’t want to lie. And since he’d come to terms with the fact it was Andrea he wasn’t going to be able to get back, didn’t that mean he knew, at least to some degree, how she felt?
    “We’ll do our best. There’s a window of time in which she’s likely to…remain alive. If we can figure out who he is before then, it’s possible we might be able to find her. But I’m not going to lie to you, Andrea. You need to prepare yourself for the worst. Your sister might not get out of this alive.”
    Andrea sank into a chair on the other side of Caisey, across the table from him. So much for remaining close, so he could reassure her. Apparently she didn’t want anything to do with his comfort. It stung, but he wasn’t going to leave her in the lurch.
    Her eyes swam with emotion. Andrea tucked hair behind her ear and looked away. She didn’t want him to see her upset? Or had she been conditioned not to show emotion?
    “I have to go home. I’m exhausted.” She labored to her feet and said, “Maybe you could keep me updated?”
    She really thought he was just going to let her go, so she could have her meltdown in private?
    Caisey held out her hand, stopping Andrea’s progress. “We actually need you to stay here for the time being.”
    “What? Why can’t I go?”
    “We need to update our boss and find out what he wants to do with regards to your protection.”
    “But I’m not the one in danger.”
    Liam said, “If you were the target, he may realize his mistake and come for you again.”
    Andrea’s eyes widened. “What?”
    “You could be in serious danger, Andrea.”

Chapter 5
     
     
    LIAM STOOD WITH Caisey in their boss’s office. Special Agent Burkot was a former Marine and he’d never seen the guy drink anything other than coffee—even at the office Christmas party. Burkot’s suit came from the same tailor Liam used, the one he’d found tucked away on a side street on one of his runs through lower downtown Denver.
    Burkot peered at them with his “thinking” stare that meant he was assessing the situation and working through all the variables in his head. “What about her apartment?”
    Caisey said, “Should be cleared by the end of today.”
    Burkot’s desk was clear, but the walls were covered with pictures of his kids’ college graduations, his wife, him shaking hands with President Bush (both of them), and two flags—a US flag and the flag for the Marine Corps. He clicked the mouse on his computer, likely looking through the case file. Liam had added his write-up from the interview with Andrea, but that was only minutes before they’d come in here. He didn’t like making Andrea stay in the conference room, but they couldn’t just let her go home and leave her vulnerable to being abducted.
    Burkot looked at Liam. “You think the Chloroform Killer will come after her again, looking to rectify his mistake?”
    “It’s enough of a possibility that I don’t want to risk her being unprotected when it happens. There isn’t any solid indication, but he’s never abducted the wrong woman before, so far as we know. It’s unprecedented, and the best chance we’ve got of catching the guy if he does show up.”
    “Okay.” Burkot folded his arms. “The two of you sit on this woman, twenty- four/seven. Speak to the manager at the apartment complex and get a place where a team can set up with full view of Ms.
