"I can't believe how obnoxious that man is. How long has this been going on?" Johanna demanded.

Trey lowered his eyes. "Almost from the start. When I first met Kyle, he seemed okay and was polite. But it didn't take him long to change." He sighed wearily. "He doesn't care what he says or who he says it to. I've had some problems with some of my crew because of him. I've warned him to stay away from them, but for some odd reason he seems to think he can talk to them any way he wants."

Johanna's eyes narrowed. "What does Will say?" she asked. "You would think he would have thrown Kyle out."

"That's just it." He raised his eyes and met Johanna's. "He doesn't say anything no matter what Kyle says or does. I can't understand it," he said bitterly.

She hated the look of defeat in his eyes. "Let me help get dinner on the table." She hugged him. "Don't worry. Frankie and I will find out what Kyle's game is. We'll figure it out."

He frowned. "I just wish I knew what Will's game is. He's a stranger, like I never knew him at all."

Johanna picked up a large salad bowl. "Is it really that bad between you and Will, Trey?"

Trey's shoulders slumped. "Everything was perfect between us before Kyle arrived." He slowly shook his head. "Will is a different person around Kyle…someone I don't know. And frankly, someone I wouldn't care to know. It makes me question how much I really know about him."

 Frankie pulled the car over to let two fire trucks with sirens blaring, roar past. 

"Another fire," Johanna said. "Too early for the elusive arsonist." 

Frankie grunted. "I hope they catch the bastard soon. Who knows where he'll strike next?" 

"No leads last I heard, but then I haven't really been keeping up with the news lately." 

Frankie glanced at her. "From what I've heard it's been only trash cans outside of commercial businesses that have closed for the night. No major damage except to the trash receptacles." 

"It doesn't make sense. People are still around the area shopping at some of the other merchants who are open later, but no one ever sees anything or anyone acting suspicious." 

"How many people are out back where the bins are usually located? Only an employee putting trash into a bin. So we can rule out an employee." Frankie speculated. "It's either a pyromaniac or someone looking for revenge." 

"It could be an employee who is a pyromaniac. If it's someone looking for revenge, then it's odd that he would have that many businesses to settle a score with. But then, who knows? Nothing about any crime is ever logical," Johanna said. "And neither are the criminals."

"What makes you think he's hiding anything?"

"Just a hunch. I've got an idea. Let's arrange a private meeting with Trey without Will." 

"Why?" Johanna pursed her lips. "Trey only asked for a background check. We'll do a more thorough search later. If Kyle has any kind of criminal record, we'll delve deeper into it."

Frankie's eyes clouded. "Something doesn't add up. Kyle's too young to have held that many jobs. I need to find out if he left these jobs of his own accord or was fired."

"In any case, he was obviously bonded so I doubt there was anything sinister going on." She smiled. "I think you're looking for something that doesn't exist. This is just a simple request like hundreds of other background searches we've done for our clients."

Frankie was silent for a minute before responding. "Or maybe Kyle Martin is covering his tracks. Maybe that's why he's keeping a low profile as far as any social media is concerned."

 "All that money and she can't touch it," Johanna added. "That's not right, Alec." 

"No, it's not and that's why I can't afford to wait much longer. I think Thatcher's going to make a move soon." He paused. "So, you two are still on board after everything I've told you?" he asked studying them. 

"Of course, we are," Frankie answered. "We've already given Kendall a signed contract. We just needed to clarify with you that she is the real Kendall Bronson Longman. Now that we know she is, we're determined to do everything in our power to help her." 

"There is one other thing that doesn't make sense, Alec. Doesn't the way Kendall is dressed reflect poorly on Thatcher? Or is that part of his plan to use against her?" Johanna's eyes narrowed. "To be honest, she looked like a woman who lives on the streets. That's why we'd originally thought she may have stolen or found Kendall's wallet with her identity."

 "When Will and I reconnected, he told me how well he’s doing and offered me a position." His eyes darkened. "That's the least Will can do for me. Isn't that right, Will? You owed me one."

Johanna studied Will's face. He was flushed and looked uncomfortable as he sat and looked down at his plate of food in an attempt to avoid Johanna's eyes. He didn't offer

a response to Kyle, but Kyle didn't seem to expect one either. She turned her attention back to Kyle. "Have you found a suitable place yet for you and your family?"

He rolled his eyes. "Again, not that it's any of your business, but yes I have." He looked at Will and squared his jaw. "Here."

"I know. You already said you plan to move to Charlestown," Johanna reminded him.

"No, I mean here," Kyle emphasized.

"Here?" Frankie frowned. Suddenly she stiffened. "You mean in this house?"

He nodded. "Why not?"

Trey who had been silent up to this point jumped up out of his chair, startling everyone around the table. "Oh, no you won't! This is my house and I've put up with all I intend to." He turned trembling with rage to Will. "You invited him here and now you can kick his obnoxious ass out!"

 Frankie wished she knew why George was so ill at ease. Even though he was forcing himself to be friendly, she felt the chilliness in his attitude. Something was off. 

"Just thought I'd stop in for a minute." He craned his neck trying to read the opened file on Frankie's desk. "It's good to see you back at your desk, Johanna," he said as his eyes moved from the file to her. 

"It's good to be back." She flashed a bright smile. "You're still coming over on Saturday, I hope." 

He returned her smile with a weaker version of his own. "I wouldn't miss it." He cleared his throat. "Well, I'd better get back to the office. We've got our hands full with all of those arson fires." 

Frankie leaned back in her chair. "Any clues?" 

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully as he studied her for a minute. "We're working on it. Is there anything you'd like to share with me?" He tilted his head toward the folder.
