Chapter 6

Early the next morning, Dagger wondered if the snow would ever stop falling. Not that he wasn’t glad of the thick coat covering his car. It provided a little insulation from the bitter wind, and if Butler did happen to glance down the street, he wouldn’t notice anything out of the ordinary—just another car with four inches of the white stuff, like all the cars crowding both sides of the narrow road—except for the cleared windshield. Every half hour, Dagger started the car to run the wipers and take the chill out of the air.

Still, he could see his breath cloud in front of his face.

He glanced at Lacey curled in the passenger seat. She’d pulled his knit cap over her blonde hair, put on her blue jean jacket, wrapped her fluffy white one around her body, and had a blanket covering her from head to foot. Before she’d fallen asleep, she’d groused about the fact he hadn’t packed an arctic sleeping bag among the many items in his trunk. He smiled because all he could see of her was her face from her nose to her chin.

Dagger’s phone beeped. He checked his messages.

Jamie: Rolling into town. Have a new hire in tow. Experienced.

Dagger grunted, relieved she’d brought along some muscle. We’ll need him. Have to assume Butler’s armed.

Jamie: How do you know it’s a “he”?

He grinned. Because you wouldn’t piss me off two days in a row.

Jamie: LOL. See you in 5.

Reaching across the console, he gently shook Lacey’s shoulder. “Wake up. We’re getting company in five.”

She stirred and surreptitiously wiped the side of her mouth where drool had pooled.

He suppressed a grin and again raised his binoculars. No movement had been evident in or out of the house. The bald guy’s pickup was still parked under the carport. So was what appeared to be a motorcycle, protected from the elements beneath a tarp. The friend and Butler were the only ones inside. Dagger knew because he’d crept up to the windows while Lacey made the trip back to the Burger Barn to return Lila’s keys and apologize to Herman for not taking the job, who’d told her if she ever changed her mind…

Yeah, one look at her in that little black dress and Herman had been besotted. Something Lacey smirked about when she’d returned.

“Just think,” she’d said, giving Dagger a sly sideways glance. “If this gig doesn’t work out, I can still move up here. Herman even offered me a garage apartment.”

He’d grunted and ignored her until she’d busied herself redressing in her leggings, camo top, and layers of jackets and the blanket before falling asleep. After noting the dark circles beneath her eyes that makeup couldn’t quite cover, he’d left her to her dreams.

The hours had given him time to think about just how badly he’d fucked up. Hell, he’d screwed her in a lit parking lot—without a fucking condom. Okay, so he wasn’t mad at himself for risking a public indecency charge. But, dammit, he knew better than to get involved with her again.
