again? Last year, his partner worked
with her family to resolve some construction site theft problems.
His interest in the blue-eyed blonde had been obvious, but she’d
been dating someone else at the time, and Matt stepped back from
any personal entanglement. His business partner had been smart and
stuck to business. Shawn pressed his lips together and tightened
his grip on the steering wheel. On the other hand, it seemed he
always needed to learn his lessons the hard way.
    He thought about the current case. Nothing is
tougher than dealing with an unidentified stalker. At least if the
client knows who is stalking them, you know who you need to be on
guard against. They have a name, face, address, history, and
patterns of behavior. With this case, he’d be on the defensive
until they figured out the stalker’s identity.
    His most recent experience occurred a couple
years back when he’d guarded a well-known recording artist who came
to party at the Super Bowl events. Before the celebrity arrived in
town, Shawn had received a folder on “questionable” fans. The
folder contained a long list of people, but what concerned Shawn
most was the “wild card”, the unpredictable and possibly dangerous
person whose name wasn’t on the list.
    Shawn took a deep breath as he remembered
what happened. A young woman showed up and demanded to be let into
the VIP area. She claimed to be an invited close friend and
threatened to get anyone who stood in her way fired. The security
team did what they’d been trained to do and denied her access, but
the woman refused to be stopped. As the stand-off worsened, Shawn
made the call and had her removed from the club. His last vision of
the fan was still crystal clear. She’d stood in the parking lot
with tears running down her face. Once outside, she pounded on the
door and screamed to be let back inside. She disappeared only after
the police showed up.
    When Shawn first walked into Morgan’s house,
he braced himself for another socialite who probably had hooked up
with some “admirer wannabe boyfriend” at a local club. He’d figured
that when the relationship ended, things went bad.
    Morgan Kennedy surprised him. She met him
wearing jeans and a cotton top. As the owner-manager of one of the
most prestigious jewelry stores in the valley, she could have
easily overdone the bling, but she hadn’t. She sported a nice dress
watch, a ring and a pair of diamond stud earrings.
    She even seemed embarrassed to admit the
stalker had taken lingerie. Her uncomfortable response to this
question left no doubt in his mind she did nothing to create her
current situation.
    The cell phone rang, and he picked it up,
“Yeah.”
    “Fill me in.” Matt said.
    Shawn brought his partner up to speed on the
case.
    “I’ll call Bill. He’s on patrol in north
Scottsdale tonight, and he can swing by her house a few times over
the next eight hours,” Matt said.
    “Thanks. I will be escorting Ms. Kennedy to
her interview at KDEZ tomorrow, so you’ll have to take the lead on
the concert preparations. Oh, before I forget, I ran into a Stella
Adams tonight. She said hi.”
    A long pause followed before Matt spoke. “How
is she?”
    “She’s fine.”
    “How is Stella involved in this case?”
    “She’s a good friend of Ms. Kennedy.”
    Matt exhaled. “Okay. I’ll be there at ten
a.m. for a security review.”
    “Thanks.” Shawn ended the call and set the
phone on the passenger seat. He knew his partner well and even
though Matt didn’t say anything specific, he didn’t need to.
Morgan’s stalker posed a threat to anyone around her. One person to
protect is a challenge, safeguarding two or more made an assignment
exponentially harder. This case had the potential of getting ugly.
Shawn could feel it in his gut.

    Morgan sat perched on a stool at the
breakfast counter in the kitchen and clicked the remote as reruns
and infomercials popped up one after another. “Unbelievable. Over
