Chapter 12

“I should have kicked him in the nads,” Courtney said, following her into the kitchen. “I mean, who would seriously want to have kids with that moron? The only thing he knows how to do is play football.”

Before Maggie could tell her she’d had more than enough of Courtney’s “I should’ves,” the girl had skidded to a stop.

“Whoa!” All of a sudden, the teenager slouched in what she obviously thought was a sexy stance but what actually looked as if she had back trouble.

Maggie silently echoed her emotions. “Oh, yeah, this is Declan. And this is Courtney. As you can tell, she’s feeling a bit bloodthirsty toward the male sex, but I think one look at you has changed her mind.”

“Hi,” Courtney practically purred. “And there’s only one guy I want to tear apart. You’re perfectly safe.”

Declan, who’d been sitting at the table with a cup of coffee, smiled up at her. Courtney immediately straightened up and ran for the coffeemaker to pour herself a cup.

“Thank you.” Maggie plucked it out of her hand.

“So what happened at the school?” Declan asked.

“Troy is pure pus,” Courtney announced with a touch of theatrics. “I’m going to text Mick that I want him to beat him up.” She pulled her cell from her bag.

“I don’t think so.” Maggie confiscated the phone and stuck it in her pocket.

“Hey! Isn’t that illegal or something?” She turned her attention to Declan. “So who are you exactly? Maggie’s lover? Old friend?” Courtney plopped down in the chair across from him.

“Business associate.”

“She said she wasn’t a prostie, so what do you guys do?”

“Consulting,” Maggie said.

“Consulting what?” She looked from one to the other. “I watched a show on TLC once where a drug dealer called himself a consultant. But you don’t look as scuzzy as he did.”

“I own a club, and Maggie oversees security for me.”

Maggie stood behind Courtney shooting Declan a ‘Nice touch!’ smile.

“Really? What’s the club’s name?”

“Damnation Alley,” he replied. “And no, you can’t go there.” He neatly anticipated her next comment. “You have to be over twenty-one to get in, and we enforce that rule.”

“I can look twenty-one.”

“You can look twenty-one in six years.” Maggie took the chair to Declan’s left. “And any ID claiming you’re of age is now promptly impounded.”

“Ha! You’ll have to find it first. It’s probably a sucky club anyway.” She resorted to slouching again, but no sexy teen stance this time. “So why are you here?”

“We were going over some reports when the school called me. Why don’t you go upstairs and do your homework while we finish up here,” Maggie suggested, aware that once Courtney checked her hiding place, she’d find her three false IDs gone.

“Uh, helloooo! Expelled, remember? I am so off homework duty.” She hopped off the chair and executed a little happy dance.

“Then go upstairs and clean up your room. You’ve barely had the room for twelve hours, and it already looks like a war zone. I want to see that place looking immaculate.”

“Fine, but I’ll be down for lunch.
