СКАЧАТЬ on—well, she was a Sullivan. Trained from the cradle to protect herself.

      Could Shelby really escape from a seasoned criminal like Derringer? Sabrina wondered. Neither of them had ever really been put to the test. But she had to believe their father’s hard work hadn’t been in vain.

      If only Dad were here. He’d know what to do, she told herself. As competent as Zack was beginning to seem, Sabrina still had no illusions about him. He was too young. Too temperamental. Too driven by passion. He’d do his best because of his devotion to Sully Sullivan and his hatred for Derringer. He might even be able to find Shelby in time. But would he be able to outwit Derringer once he got there?

      No. That’s where Sabrina would be invaluable. She had her father’s instincts. His cool head. She had to be there when Zack made his move against Derringer. But she knew he’d try to exclude her, either to protect her or because he thought she’d get in the way.

      “Which is where this little baby comes in handy,” she said out loud, pulling a black-leather shaving kit from her suitcase. Inside the kit—affectionately known as Sully Sullivan’s “bag of tricks”—was the collection of gadgets she had smuggled into RAP via Zorro’s cat carrier.

      Locating a handheld computer, she dislodged the backing and retrieved a sheet of minuscule sensors. With one of these, she could easily track Zack’s movements, using the computer’s gridded screen and global positioning capabilities.

      One of the tiny sensors was already missing from the sheet, having been affixed by Sabrina to the inside hood of Shelby’s car the day it was purchased. If only Johnny had used that vehicle to kidnap her sister, they could have found her in an instant.

      Now she was tempted to do the same with Zack’s shiny black convertible, but if he switched to air travel, she’d lose him. She needed to attach it to something he’d carry with him at all times.

      On impulse, she unhooked the gold chain she wore around her neck, then popped open the attached locket to reveal tiny photos of her mother and father. Pulling up the edge of Sully Sullivan’s smiling face, she slipped a sensor underneath, then covered it with the picture.

      Just as she was double-checking her handiwork, she heard a door slam. Looking up, she saw Zack coming down the steps of the Howell mansion with an overstuffed briefcase in his hand, so she closed the trunk, then smiled and offered him the photo of Shelby. “Here it is.”

      “Great.” He cleared his throat. “Before I go, I’d like to apologize. I was a jerk when you first got here, and I’m sorry.”

      “Find my sister and all is forgiven. And if you see her before I do, give her this.” She held out the necklace.

      Accepting it, he looked inside the locket. “Your mom? I never saw a picture of her before. You girls look a lot like her. A lot like Sully, too.”

      “Take good care of it, okay?” Sabrina asked softly. “When Shelby sees it, she’ll know she can trust you.”

      “Good idea.” He nodded his approval. “She might not believe she needs to be rescued, right? She’ll trust John, and be suspicious of me.”

      “Right. And even if she realizes she’s been kidnapped, she’ll be suspicious of everyone. Except me. Which is why I need to be there.” She touched his arm. “Call me as soon as you get a lead, please?”

      “Sure. You’ll be the first to know.” He flashed a confident smile. “I’ll check in tomorrow. In the meantime, if you think of anything else I should know, call me. Here’s my number.”

      She accepted his business card, then thanked him and waved goodbye until he had roared away in his sports car.

      She knew he was lying, of course. He had no intention of sharing information with her. At least, not willingly. But thanks to the global positioning device, she would track his every movement. If he got a lead on Shelby’s location, Sabrina would head there as soon as he made his move.

      And in the meantime, maybe she’d find the location first.
