She breathed out a sigh of relief, but Dylan knew that wasn’t the end of it. That was too easy.
“But?” Dylan asked.
“But neither of you can breathe a word of this. Understand, Tilly?” he said sternly. “You can’t say a word to anyone.”
“I won’t. I promise,” she said, eyes wide.
“And it’s probably best if the two of you don’t stick around for too long. I told him you’d be gone by the end of next week.” It was now late Sunday night.
She looked over at Dylan. He winked at her. “We can do that. We’re going to go on a little side trip before we head home.”
“We are?” she said with surprise.
“Yep. But it’s a surprise. We both have the time off, so we might as well go on a road trip.”
Tilly couldn’t remember the last time she’d had a vacation. She smiled over at him and grasping his hand, squeezed it tight.
“What about Miller?” she asked, concern darkening her face. “Is she okay? Can I see her?”
Rogan took another sip. “He said that Miller has gone.”
“Gone? Gone where?” she asked.
“He claims that he doesn’t know. Said she had outgrown her usefulness so he didn’t care anymore.”
“Think he’s telling the truth?” Dylan asked.
“I think that Iker would lie to his own mother if he thought it would benefit him. There’s something he’s holding back.”
“Where would she go?” Tilly asked, looking like she was close to crying. “What if she needs help?”
“I’ll find her,” Rogan said. “If you’re sure that’s what you want.”
“Of course I do,” Tilly said, glancing at them both in bewilderment. “Why wouldn’t I?”
“Tilly, she betrayed you,” Dylan said in a quiet voice. “She placed you in danger when she told Iker that Javier was cheating him. If we hadn’t found that money, you’d have a target on your back. Maybe you should just let her go.”
“No.” Tilly shook her head. “I know it seems like she did some terrible things, but that’s not the girl I knew. And I don’t believe that phone call was faked.”
“People change, and often not for the better,” Rogan warned.
“I just need to make sure she’s okay. I can’t go on with my life without making sure she’s all right.”
Dylan softened. “Okay. We’ll try to find her.”
Rogan nodded. “Leave it with me.”
Chapter Nine
“I thought Underworld was a nightclub,” Dylan said.
“Well, it’s a club of sorts,” Rogan replied, looking amused.
Dylan just gaped at him in disbelief. “It has a bowling alley.” When he’d heard Rogan and Aedan talk about Underworld, he’d just assumed it was a bar or nightclub.
“We also have a cigar room, a bar, and a games room.”
“Huh, and you called it Underworld because…”
