The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Leonard stared at the phone, his eyes flickering with suspicion and uncertainty.

Did Joshua really know where they were, or was he just bluffing?

Leonard had purposely left his own phone behind to avoid being tracked. If anything urgent came up, he could just use one of his men's phones.

That was why, earlier that afternoon, Leonard had called Sellers in for an emergency meeting.

Sellers had no idea what was going on, so of course he'd brought his phone with him. Honestly, even if Leonard had ordered him not to, Sellers wouldn't have agreed. He and Leonard weren't close-if Leonard was planning to ambush him, he'd need some way to call for help.

Sellers had overheard enough of Leonard's conversation with Joshua to get the gist. He said quietly, “Real or not, if Foreman and his people manage to track my phone, it won't take them long to find us."

He handed his phone to one of the men to dispose of. "We shouldn't stay here. We need to move now."

Leonard knew Sellers was right, but he couldn't bring himself to just let Stella go so easily.
