Asher was trying to get the chip back, which meant it was important-and definitely had something to do with him.

If Rowan handed it over, he'd be in serious trouble. Those two brothers were already drifting apart.

Rowan's knuckles went white as he stared Herman down. "I found a phone in that cave. If you think it's useful, take it and see for yourself."

Reluctantly, Rowan dug into a drawer and tossed Herman an old, beat-up phone. The screen was shattered and it wouldn't even turn on-he hadn't had the time to get it fixed.

Herman turned the phone over, calm as ever. "The chip still isn't decrypted," he said, almost casually.

Rowan wanted to glare a hole right through him-he'd been played.

"Herman," Rowan growled, jaw tight.

Herman tossed the chip back. "If I find out you drag her into danger again, I won't be so nice."

Back when things got messy, Rowan had no choice but to trust Anastasia with the chip. He hadn't thought it would put her at risk, just figured he'd take care of business and get it back later.

Herman hadn't cracked the chip either-he didn't want the headache.
