EXCERPT:
“Where the hell are you?” Pete roared into my cell phone.
“Did you get Blondie out of there before the cops showed
up?” I asked, purposefully ignoring his question.
“No, I served her up to them with a side order of fries.”
His sarcasm oozed from my phone thick enough to run down my arm. “What the fuck
do you think I did?”
“Fine. You don’t have to get testy.” I watched the gunmen
get out of their car and then go into the Russian deli they’d just parked in
front of. “How is she?”
“A hellva a lot better than you’re going to be when I get my
hands on you. Now, where are you?”
“On the corner of You-don’t-want-to-know and
No-way-in-hell-I’m-going-to-tell-you.”
“Cute, Darla, real cute. Now get your smart ass back here!”
“Dial back the attitude, Pete. It’s not winning you any
brownie points.” I dipped my phone away from my mouth then took a deep breath
before slowly letting it out. We both needed to take things down a notch.
Either Pete picked up on my vibes or he’d finally popped
that purple blood vessel in his temple that always protruded when he got really
pissed at me. It could go either way.
Pete sounded beyond pissed. He’d sounded—well, um—way beyond
pissed.
Finally, he spoke, his anger replaced with more surly
sarcasm. “When do you think your Highness might grace me with your presence?”
I felt myself grin. Only Pete could make me smile after I’d
lied my ass off to a grieving widow, been shot at and then played hide and seek
whilst breaking land speed records.
