you?”
Harry frowned. “No, not really.” Then he looked at Gunner and Cobra.
Cobra looked a little grim as he stared at Becky. “What the hell do you know of the SANG Corporation, little girl?”
Becky trembled as she a bit afraid. “Nothing, I swear.” She looked back down at the photograph of Damen Cole and pointed at him in the photo. “It’s just that one day, he came to see Blacky and he mentioned the group. It put the fear of God into Blacky for at least a small amount of time.” She smiled with a bit of satisfaction at the memory of this. “Too bad, it never lasted very long. Whoever this group is, Blacky was afraid of them.”
“With good reason.” Cobra glared. “Sang is a dangerous group to cross. Above board, they fund technology, always coming up with new ideas and gadgets for making the speed of our searches go faster and further but under the surface? You don’t want to go there. They didn’t become the number one business by just being fair. No one knows who works for them or in what category.”
“Could this Damen work for SANG? And if so, why would he be watching me?” she asked.
Gunner turned to Harry and asked, “Did that flash drive Annie got from her dad have anything on it about SANG?”
Harry moved over to Annie’s laptop and as he hit the keyboard and brought up the files listed on Randy’s flash drive, he searched the files for anything connected to SANG.
Becky stood behind him and watched the laptop screen.
He found a small file and clicked on it. It opened into a larger file. It was from the corporation web page. It listed the four partners, Levi Silvers, Andrew Adams, Samuel Niger and Michael Grant. Then it went on to list their various projects and future projects.
He printed out the page with all four men’s pictures on it then passed it around.
Becky stared long and hard at the four men in the photos. One man stood out and she frowned as she stared at him. She knew his face but she couldn’t remember him at all.
Patriot joined them and assured Harry, “Annie is sleeping now. The baby is doing well. But she shouldn’t get that stressed again.”
“She was stressed because she was trying to protect me by hiding things from me.” Becky shook her head. “She still thinks I’m a baby and can’t take care of myself.”
“Well sweet girl,” Patriot took Becky into his arms and hugged her close. “You got yourself into trouble all on your own, and she does love you, and helped with rescuing you from your last escapade.”
“Ouch, you are brutal you know that?” She smiled, kissed his cheek, then made her point, “She didn’t rescue me, these guys did.”
The men all stared back at her.
“And now you have a man watching us to get to you,” Cobra added.
“But why? Why is someone looking for me after all this time?” Becky sighed. “I mean I’m a grown woman now. I don’t want this man in my life. This Levi or Damen. They need to give up on this and go home.”
Cobra scoffed. “Men like this would never give up. It may be about pride. With men, it usually is about that.”
“Perhaps he’s been looking for you a lot longer than you realize sweetheart,” Patriot suggested. “Maybe like twenty four years?”
Becky felt part of her go stone cold. She might not have had an easy life but she had found her forever place with Patriot and Annie. Instead of thinking too hard on it, she picked up the paper again with the four men from SANG. She studied their faces for a while then looked over at Gunner. “I’ve seen this man before today but I never knew his name. I barely remember him but I’ve seen his face somewhere in the past.”
“Would he have seen you then too?” Gunner asked.
Becky shrugged. “I have no idea. Annie might know more as she was older than me. I think we were on our way out of yet another town. I can’t remember where we were as we’d lived in so many towns, but I remember looking out the car window as seeing this man getting out of a long black car. Someone was running to the house we’d just left and mom was telling us to duck down into our seats. Then we were speeding off while he turned his head to watch us go. That’s when I saw
