Free Deadly Honeymoon (Hardy Brothers Security Book 7) by Lily Harper Hart

doesn’t belong to either of us, and I’m trying to find out what’s on it.”
    “If it doesn’t belong to you, how did it get there?” Grady asked.
    “I have no idea,” James said. “I’m hoping it doesn’t mean that someone else had sex in our bedroom while we were gone.”
    “Who would do that?” Finn asked, laughing.
    A certain brunette jumped into everyone’s mind at the same time.
    “Oh, gross,” Grady said. “You think Ally and Jake did it in your bed?”
    Jake was entering the office at the same moment Grady uttered the statement. “What?”
    “Did you and my sister have sex in their bedroom?” Finn asked.
    “Of course not,” Jake said, scandalized.
    “Hey, that is something Ally would probably do,” Grady said.
    “For your information, Ally wanted to have sex in their hot tub,” Jake replied. “And, don’t worry, I put the kibosh on that. We didn’t have sex in your bed.”
    “I just can’t figure out where this thing came from,” James said, silently relieved that he wasn’t going to have to burn his mattress.
    “And you’re sure it’s not Mandy’s?”
    “She says no,” James said, wrinkling his forehead as he regarded his computer screen. “What the hell is this?”
    Jake, Grady, and Finn crowded behind the desk, staring at the odd numbers that popped up in confusion.
    “I think it’s corrupted,” Finn said. “Those numbers make absolutely no sense.”
    James clicked on the second file on the drive, a map filling the screen seconds later. “There’s a map.”
    “Where is that?” Jake asked. “That doesn’t look like Michigan.”
    “It’s not,” James said. “It’s Bermuda.”
    Grady cocked his head to the side. “Are you sure?”
    “I’m sure.” James furrowed his brow. “Why would a flash drive with a corrupted file and a map of Bermuda suddenly appear in our bedroom?”
    “Maybe it fell into one of your suitcases,” Jake suggested.
    “No, that house was bare,” James said. “They had a regular cleaning lady come in.”
    “Well, then how did it get here?”
    James considered the question. “Mandy said she found it when she was picking up stuff off the floor,” he said. “She said she knocked her purse off the bed, and she was on her knees picking stuff up when she found it. What if it was in her purse?”
    “How did it get there?”
    “I have no idea,” James said. “I hated that purse. It was huge. She insisted on taking it, though, because the strap was so long that it could fit over her head and she didn’t have to worry about anyone stealing the bag.”
    “So, whoever put it there, had to be close to her,” Finn mused.
    A face popped into James’ mind. “Like the dead guy who tried to get her to dance on the street and then ended up with a knife to the chest in the yard?”
    “Shit,” Grady said.
    “Let’s get Maverick on the phone,” Finn said, referring to the computer guru Hardy Brothers Security kept on retainer. “Maybe that file isn’t corrupted.”
    “Maybe it’s coded,” Jake said.
    James was on his feet.
    “Where are you going?” Grady asked.
    “I just … I’m going to make sure Mandy is at her office,” he said.
    “Dude, she’s fine,” Finn said. “Don’t start smothering her until you have a reason to do it.”
    “I … you’re right,” he said, sucking in a breath. “I’m overreacting.”
    “It’s okay,” Grady said. “Given your track record, I can see why you would.”
    James pulled his phone out of his pocket. “I’m just going to give her a quick call.”
    “Just don’t let her know what you’re doing,” Finn warned. “Tell her you’re calling for phone sex or something.”
    “Good idea.” James met the three curious faces staring at him in turn. “Hey, we’re actually going to have to have phone sex to pull this off. You can’t be here when that happens.”
    “Oh, yeah, right,” Finn said, grabbing the flash drive. “I’ll get this to Maverick. Have fun with your …
