The next day at Art Fantastique, Raquelle marched straight to the back room. I followed close behind. She pulled out a black handheld device and quickly scanned for bugs. When she was confident no one was listening, she shoved it into her pocket and turned to me. I closed the door to the main room.

Raquelle crossed her arms. “Where’s Eberhardt?”

“It’s just us.”

“And we’re recruiting? For real?”

“Yes. It’s about time, don’t you think?”

“No, I don’t actually! I think we’re better off laying low. I rather like being, well, alive!”

“Will you just hear me out?”

Raquelle leaned against the table and glared at me, but she listened.

“It might work,” she said when I’d finished. “Okay, we’ll drive you over to Tony’s. If they like what you have to say, we’ll move on to some of our haunts. We’ll even introduce you and back you up. But, if it doesn’t look good, you’re finding another ride home.”

“Fair enough. Where’s Joe?”

“She’s waiting in the car.”

“She?”

“Yeah, my girlfriend, Jo.” Raquelle stood up straight; her arms dropped to her sides.

“Damn, girl! You’re even less trusting than I am!”

Raquelle tried to fight a grin, then simply let it shine. “Well, maybe I should have told you.”

I shrugged. “And now you have.”

“Keira, there’s something else…Jo’s a car thief.”

“Then she’ll fit right in, as long she avoids sleek silver automobiles from the late 21st century.”

Raquelle laughed. “Don’t worry. I told her to stay away from Guy’s wheels, and after your call last night, I finally told her why.”
