If it had just been him, maybe he wouldn't have cared. But with Sierra there-he wasn't willing to gamble.
It was a while before Mateo and Stone returned from checking the apartment. Their expressions were grim. Mateo opened his hands, revealing the problem. "There were several hidden cameras installed."
