Logan nodded. “I asked the same question. Chester has a security company on retainer. They couldn’t find any prints on the envelope or photos. The top firm in Houston, and they got nowhere.”
“Not the top firm in Houston.” Cole’s jaw tightened. “That would be my firm, E-Force Security. My brother-in-law Mack runs it with his three brothers. I’d put our operation up against any security company in the country.”
“I didn’t know about your firm, but I’ll gladly hire them.” Relief flooded him. Cole’s firm would take the threat seriously, even if Cole didn’t. At least the Phantom men and their families would be protected. “I need them, because the latest envelope Chester got had pictures of my mother.”
Cole flinched, his eyes widening.
“The only bright side is they don’t seem to know about Ellery. I guess it’s a blessing she dumped me.” Logan’s stomach churned. How could he live with himself if something happened to Ellery?
“You’re in love with Ellery, aren’t you?”
“Yes.” Logan’s voice was barely above a whisper, as if saying it quietly would somehow protect her.
A broad grin stretched across Cole’s face. “Have you talked to her? Told her how you feel?”
“I was going to. But then my stepdad dropped this bomb on me, and I realized the best way to protect Ellery was to keep her away.” Logan’s heart twisted. “I just pray I can win her back when this is all over.”
The muscles bulged along Cole’s jaw. “You’re a good man, Logan. Ellery knows that. When the time comes you’ll explain it. I’m sure she’ll understand.”
“I hope you’re right. But I’ll do whatever I have to do to keep Ellery safe… even if it means she hates me forever.”
