Surprised, he met her eyes, saw his own shock reflected there.
She dropped his hand, took a quick step back. “Take care, Jackson.”
She hurried away before he could respond.
That was fine. He’d ignore what he’d felt. Chalk it up to fatigue and stress or too many months out of the dating game. What he wouldn’t do was let Morgan travel to Washington alone. She was in too vulnerable a condition. If she ran into her enemies again, she’d have no way to defend herself. No hope of escape.
He watched until she was through the security gate, and then he followed, trying to blend in with an older couple moving into the boarding area ahead of him. No sense in letting Morgan know he’d booked a flight to Spokane until it was too late for either of them to trade in their tickets.
Morgan was a hundred yards away, sitting with her back to the security gate. Not a good move. Anyone could walk through without her noticing. Jackson was tempted to tell her that, but figured it could wait. They’d have plenty of time to talk about safety measures on the flight to Spokane.
He took a seat on a bench several rows away from Morgan, positioning himself so that he was partially hidden by an information desk. They’d board the plane in a half hour. That would be soon enough to let Morgan know he was sticking around. He was pretty sure she wouldn’t be happy about it, and he was just as sure he didn’t care. He’d made the mistake of believing Lindsey when she’d brushed off his concern over a bruised cheek and a broken finger. An accident, she’d said. And he’d taken her at her word. Two months later, she was dead.
God knew Jackson regretted not asking more questions, regretted not allowing himself to imagine the unimaginable.
Regretted it, but regret didn’t change what had happened, and it couldn’t bring his sister back.
He was going to Spokane. He was going to finish what he’d started because he had to.
For Lindsey.
For Lacey and Jude.
For Morgan.
And maybe, more than anything else, for himself.
