Chapter Twelve

Broderick untangled himself from around Joanne and stood up. He studied her, sitting there all determined, the blanket tucked around her, baring her shoulders and swell of her bosom. She would never understand how impossibly sexy she was.

She still could enrage him fast, though. “No way in hell,” Broderick snarled. “We came here because you were mad at me for wanting to offer myself as bait. Why do you think I’ll let you do it?”

Joanne looked up at him¸ her eyes filled with resolve. “She’s not going to come if she thinks a bunch of Shifters are waiting for her. If I offer to meet her alone …”

“No!” Broderick clenched his hands. “We lure her out, sure, but someplace I can grab hold of her and turn her upside down. She’ll try to bring her thugs—so you bring yours.”

Joanne made a sound of exasperation. “I didn’t plan to meet her in a dark alley in the middle of the night alone. We’ll set up a place she’ll feel safe, somewhere very public. Like the coffeehouse I go to at the lake.”

Broderick frowned. “Shifters aren’t allowed there.”

“Exactly. So she won’t think they’re there. You hide out somewhere, I’ll bring her past you, and you nab her.”

Joanne looked happy with this idea, ready to do battle.

“I see so many, many flaws in this plan,” Broderick said.

“Yeah? You have a better one?”

“I will.” Broderick put his hands under her arms and hauled her to her feet. “But later. When it’s daylight. For now …”

He abruptly lifted her into his arms. Joanne let out a yelp, surprised, which was silenced by his hard kiss.

Broderick headed out of the room—she’d need a real bed this time, not the floor. Before he left, he snaked his hand back and swept up the medallion from the table.

The answer lay inside that house. Cilla studied the long brick abode with its neat yard for a long time, trying to make up her mind.

Do it. Go! The crackle came from the tablet half out of her bag, words sizzling on the dark screen. It had found a way to follow her.

Inside the house was the way to do what this creature wanted her to—in theory. All Cilla had to do was commit more murder, and access to the Guardian Network would be hers. Only this time, she had to do the killing herself. She’d dismissed the guys she’d hired, had lost track of them, and now she was on her own. Just as well—they’d only been interested in money, nothing else.

Cilla had no interest in financial gain other than what she needed to support her computer habit. She got by on very little and didn’t aspire to live in penthouses and drive fancy cars. Those were useless things that bogged her down. A true hacker didn’t write code to own something stupid-ass like a solid gold toilet. They did it for the beauty of the code, to be able to create something and execute it better than anyone in the world.
