THE STACK OF CASH on his desk was as close to genuine currency as
squeeze cheese was to Brie.
US Secret Service Special Agent Gil Dixon turned one of the fraudulent
twenties over and studied the back. There were a few similarities to the real
thing, but not enough to confuse anyone paying attention.
“Free money?” Special Agent Zane Thacker asked as he passed Gil’s
cubicle for his own.
“Hardly enough to fool with.” Gil glanced back at the file. Two hundred
dollars in twenties. Even if the person who deposited it had been trying to
do something illegal, no prosecutor would touch the case. It simply wasn’t
worth it.
“Where did it come from?” Zane asked the question, but his tone
indicated he was making conversation to pass the time, not because he
cared about the answer.
“Hedera, Inc.”
Zane’s head appeared over the top of the cubicle wall they shared.
“You’re kidding.”
“Nope.
“Why would she have counterfeit bills?”
“No idea.”
“When are you going to see her?”
“This afternoon. I thought I’d swing by her office first since the cash
came from a business deposit.”
“What’s a company like Hedera doing depositing cash anyway?” Zane’s
question was the same one Gil had been pondering since the case hit his
desk.
“Beats me.” Hedera’s accounts should have been almost entirely digital.
The deposit had been for a little over two thousand dollars in cash, only two
hundred of which were fake bills. “That’s the reason I want to talk to Dr.
Collins.”
One reason, but not the only reason.
Everyone in the office knew that Hedera, Inc. was owned by Dr. Ivy
Collins. But no one knew that Ivy Collins was his Ivy.
No. Not his anymore. And she hadn’t been in a long time.
The Ivy from his memory had grown into a delicately boned woman with
intense eyes that sparkled from the home page of Hedera, Inc., the company
she’d founded four years earlier.
She’d been his best friend. They’d had their whole life planned. School,
college, marriage. It was all so simple. Next to Emily, Gil’s twin sister, Ivy
was his favorite person in the world, so it only made sense that he would
spend the rest of his life with her.
It never occurred to either of them that anything could tear them apart . . .
until the day she said goodbye and climbed into her mom’s sedan. He
scampered up a tree and watched until the car disappeared from view, his
nine-year-old heart broken.
When he saw her again, she was sixteen. He was seventeen. And that
summer, she stole his heart.
And then . . . she was gone.
He’d thought before about confronting her, but he’d never followed
through. What would he say if he ran into her? “Why did you cut me out of
your life?” or “What is wrong with you?” or “I missed you.” He had no idea
what might fly out of his mouth. Their reunion was fifteen years overdue,
but this certainly wasn’t how he’d expected it to happen.
