with
full knowledge of her father’s identity because Sara wouldn’t quit talking to
social services about her famous father. When the authorities checked her birth
certificate, Langston’s name was listed as the father.
    “Some reporter picked up on the story and when the media
looked deeper into the facts, they discovered that Sara most likely was his
daughter. Langston claimed to have never known of her existence, but he went
through the paternity tests. When those came back a match, he transplanted her
from Indiana to California.
    “Sara, however, didn’t live under his roof for long.
Langston shipped her off to boarding school, where she graduated at the top of
her class. She went on to earn her Master’s Degree, again with honors. She came
back into the picture a couple years ago and he’s been trying to corral her
ever since.”
    “Why does Langston want her dead?” Jack asked.
    “She’s been heading up the accounting for one of his front
companies for the past two years,” Schaffer said. “She’s discovered a few
things she shouldn’t have and she asked too many of the wrong questions.”
    “So Langston falls back on his old standby,” Logan said.
“Kill her to get her out of the way.”
    “Father of the year,” Lester said from the other side of the
room.
    “Our job is to get her to safety and turn her over to the
FBI,” Schaffer said. “She’ll go into the Witness Security Program and hopefully
she knows enough to testify against him. The feds have tried to get to her and
it’s impossible with her security.”
    “She’s not going to come with us if we ask her nicely,”
Logan said. “She also won’t believe us when we say that Langston is trying to
kill her.”
    “Which is why your team is going to kidnap her,” Schaffer
said. “Once she’s safe, then you’ll explain everything. She might not believe
you, not until we get her in the hands of the FBI, and that’s okay. Our main
priority is her safety, but you’re going to need to do your best to convince
her to surrender willingly to the FBI.”
    “What’s the plan to get her away from Langston?” Austin
Moore asked from the front row.
    “Sara is getting married on Saturday,” Schaffer said. “It’s about
the closest thing to an arranged marriage one can get.” He clicked a button on
the remote and another picture filled the screen.
    Logan scooted to the edge of his seat and squinted at the
new photograph. Sara stood next to a man who appeared to be almost a decade
older than her. He immediately recognized the man and tension crawled into his
shoulders. “Stephen Mathers,” Logan said, contempt dripping from each syllable.
    Schaffer pointed at Logan. “Second in command, set to take
over Langston’s empire once Langston retires. Since Langston has no male heirs,
he’s been grooming Mathers for the position for years. The best way for him to
take over without question is for Langston to marry him off to his daughter.
The hit is scheduled to take place on their honeymoon.”
    “That way Mathers is married into the family already when
she dies,” Logan said. “Does Mathers know about the hit?”
    “That we don’t know,” Schaffer said. “Mathers is up to his
neck in Langston’s illegal dealings, but whether he has a part in the hit is
still unclear. Langston did hire a professional to do the job so even if
Mathers is in the know, he won’t be suspected.”
    Logan’s stomach churned. He knew long before Karen’s death
that Langston was a despicable man, evil in every possible way, but Logan never
would have thought him capable of killing his own child. If Mathers knew about
the hit, it made things so much worse.
    “From what we understand,” Schaffer continued, “Mathers is
continually updated on her whereabouts and activities, another reason the FBI
can’t get to her. They can’t take a chance of alerting either him or Langston.”
    “Nothing like marrying your stalker,” Jack said.
    “Tomorrow night,
