CHAPTER TWELVE

SHE SPENT THE afternoon looking over her shoulder, wondering if she might see an angry Colin appear by her side. She stayed on the move, just another young woman making her way through a bright Chicago winter day. The cold was crisp and refreshing, and she drank an enormous cup of coffee. From time to time, she touched Bitsy for comfort, causing the little animal to chitter with pleasure.

She had almost forgotten about her assignment, but as dusk started to fall, she knew that she needed the money, especially if the Corps was going to continue chasing her. She looked down at her clothes, and realized that though they were still tidy, she needed better if she hoped to do her job.

Luckily the stores on Michigan Avenue were still open, and inside of an hour, she had an outfit she thought would pass. Her job paid well, and underneath her long dark coat, she had given up the jeans and the t-shirt for a beautiful gray dress that was cut almost indecently short. She traded her shoes for high heels, and she put her hair up into an elegantly simple French twist.

When she looked herself over in the dressing room mirror, she knew that she was dressed to kill. The dress hugged her curves in just the right way, and the neckline plunged daringly, revealing an eye-catching amount of cleavage. It would be normal for the club where she was going, but she still buttoned up to her chin before stepping back out.

The information that her patron had given her told her where the subject would be. The club was an exclusive place on the edge of downtown, and the line to get in was extremely long. With the confidence of a woman who was used to getting her way no matter what, she breezed to the head of the line and made sure that the doorman never remembered letting in someone who should never have been there. Once inside, she paid for a drink to hold, and started scanning the crowd.

Selene had the facts in front of her. She knew exactly who she was looking for, but still, when she spotted the young girl, her heart sank. Her mysterious patron had given her a description, but somehow she hadn't expected her mark to look quite so innocent.

She wondered what secrets the girl held. But she resolutely told herself that it was none of her business. She had a job to do, and drink in hand, she made her way across the floor. The girl she was targeting was lovely, but there was something fragile about her as well. When her friends were turned to speak with others, there was a lost look on her face. She was skinny rather than slender, and though she wore the latest fashions, they hung on her awkwardly, as if she was wearing a costume.

When Selene got closer, she made sure that her eyes were pointed elsewhere, and she made bumping into the girl look like an accident.
