Chapter 11

She slung her bag over her good shoulder just as Adrian stepped out of the bathroom. His clothes were clean, his hair wet. He’d shaved.

She might like a little beard growth, but she could appreciate a clean-cut man.

“You’re leaving?”

“Yes.” It wasn’t like they were going to stay here. Not after the phone call she’d just gotten.

“So you waited until I was in the shower to pack up?”

She made a face at that ridiculous idea. “If I did, I took too long since I’m still here.” Hopefully he’d get the sarcasm. She’d taken another pill, but it had yet to kick in.

“Am I invited to go with you?”

“Only if you put your shoes on.” Okay, that might have been too much sarcasm. Especially considering the way he glanced at her out the corner of his eye and moved to his suitcase. “I can’t see that hanging around a crime scene with bare feet would be a good idea.”

He straightened. “Crime scene?”

“Yeah. Hank called,” she said. “The two shooters from downtown were found dead in their vehicle a few hours ago. We should go check it out.”

“That’s where you were going?”

“That’s where we’re going.” She’d agreed to stay, hadn’t she? Even though he’d basically admitted he was there to take care of her. As if she needed a nurse. Or a babysitter. She didn’t want to find out later that Steve and Hank had made an arrangement for Adrian to stick with her for exactly those reasons. But if it happened, she wasn’t exactly going to be surprised.

Though, she’d probably act surprised. Pretend she’d had no idea. Get mad at the injustice of it all. That would be satisfying. Especially if people were safe, and Zimmerman was in jail. If they had also exposed the blackmailer in this scenario, that would make things even better. All wrapped up, back to normal.

Not this weird limbo she was living in now, where there wasn’t even time to find a laundry place and wash their clothes.

“If you say so.” He sat on the bed to put his shoes on.

Megan cocked her hip. “What is that supposed to mean?”

He looked up. “Why are we fighting? Were you going to leave without me?”

“No. Of course not.” Right now, at least. Who knew what might happen later?

“Then forget about it.”

Just like that? When she was hangry she could be the queen of grudges. Too bad she hadn’t had the emotional or head space recently to do more than sit around wanting to kill El Cuervo.

“I’m not sure what just happened on your face.”

Megan shrugged. She turned to the food bag, swiped up all the wrappers and deposited them in the trash. She wasn’t hangry anymore, so that meant she was only taking out her frustrations on him because he was here. That was all.

She needed to stop doing it, or she’d have to apologize again.

The drive to the crime scene didn’t take long. They’d stayed at a hotel by the airport just in case they needed to make a quick exit to go after Zimmerman.
