15.

Fiona hunched over in her seat, the phone pressed to her ear. Marco had given her the disposable cell phone to contact him, but she had to at least try to catch someone in the Marshall’s office today. There hadn’t been any response to her last attempt to speak to someone and she was at her wit’s end.

After today she’d be cut loose from the only job she’d known since beginning this life. So much of who she was tied directly into her job. Without it, she wasn’t sure who or what Fiona was. But she couldn’t stay here, and she couldn’t leave without trying to do…something.

The call went to the mailbox, which was full. Just like it’d been half an hour ago when she got on the bus.

Figured.

She sat back and checked her watch.

Typically, she was one of the first people in the office, but given Marco’s concerns, she was going in late. Besides, all she was doing was showing up, handing in her notice and the laptop, and leaving. She’d meet Marco down the street where he’d be in case she ran into any trouble, and that was that. And here she’d thought that Nova was the worst thing she’d ever faced. This was…not on the same level, but bad all the same.

The bus eased to a stop and she stood, gathering her things and filing out with the other passengers.

They’d debated whether or not Marco should drop her off, or if she should maintain her normal schedule and route. In the end she’d won that one, somewhat.

She glanced at the back of the bus where Ghost sat, his face obscured by a hat, sunglasses and a newspaper he was supposedly reading. Marco was out there somewhere in his truck, and soon, this would be over. That’s what she had to tell herself.

Fiona’s feet hit the sidewalk. She set a brisk pace, both because she wasn’t a fan of being late and—what if someone was following her? She swallowed and turned her head, peering out the corner of her eye.

She wouldn’t know what being followed looked like, but something was very wrong. Maybe it was her?

One foot in front of the other.

She cut through a spacious courtyard between buildings. A few people were out enjoying breakfast and coffee. On the other side she took a left, following the sidewalk.

Before today, she’d never noticed how remote it was on this street.

The skin between her shoulder blades prickled, as though someone were aiming at her, or following, or watching, or…she didn’t know.

Fiona jogged across the road and into the parking garage attached to NueEnergy.

She glanced at the security camera and swallowed. They’d always made her feel safe. Until today. Were the bad people Marco said were out there watching her? Were the security cameras spying on her?

Just a little while longer and she’d be free.

She wouldn’t be jumping at her own shadow if it weren’t for Marco. What if he was wrong? What if someone wasn’t following them last night?
