“A month!!” By the end of the day, Karina had insisted that she needed to sit out on the porch for some fresh air, at least, as the rain had cleared. She eyed the setting sun.

“We’re sticking around for your safety, Ma’am,” Reese’s genuine concern was evident. Adam Hunter must have some slick brainwashing skills in this organization indeed. “Ma’am, Vertigo is after you and we are the only ones who can look out for you.”

“This is my house! You can’t stay and you can’t keep me here. I’ve got a business to run! I have two commission meetings coming up next week.”

“Well …” Reese was nonplussed. “I mean, the whole team’s looking out for you and your business. And this here is all Silverized, ain’t it. All of it is. Even the trees, now. Heck, Ma’am, nothing can get in here.”

“Well, Reese. Thank you. You’ve been very kind.”

Karina allowed the front door to slam as she returned to her room, and in short order had restocked her bag. She would put some distance between herself and her house, then call the state police and let them know her property had been taken over by a bunch of nut cases looking for Bigfoot.

“There are bears out there,” drawled Adam from the bedroom doorway where he’d silently been leaning. “If you aren’t worried about Vertigo or desRosiers, you might consider the temper of an angry mama with her cubs. Moon or no moon.” He stepped into the room and took it all in.

Karina dropped her bag onto the bed. “But using me as bait for your Junior Rangers Brigade is just fine, though? I see. Thanks, cowboy.”

Adam stood aside as Karina pushed past him to get into her closet. “Reese says you’re worried about your commissions next week.”

“What are you planning to do about that, Tex? Drive me to Duluth?”

“I will, actually. I wouldn’t let you near a bicycle right now.”

Karina halted. “You will?”

“I will. Personally. Because I looooooove your work.”

“But you’re still making me bait. You figure Vertigo will find me no matter where I go, right? And that Simon will come back for me. Hah, especially with the news story. How do you live with yourself? Does the mirror help? Or is it the fan mail?”

Adam did not take his cold eyes off hers.

He reached into his shirt pocket and drew out a photograph, holding it up to her. The image was dated 12 years ago. In it, a young auburn-haired woman smiled, holding an absolutely adorable small boy whose eyes were remarkably like Adam’s. They were standing next to a tent that had been pitched on a lawn outside a Texas-style ranch house.

“Take a good look.”

A terrible chill crept through Karina’s toes and seeped into her bone marrow.

“Your family …”

“They were killed that same night. Adam Jr. wanted to play camping, so Mary Beth made up a little campsite in the yard.” He couldn’t go on.

“Vertigo?”

Adam’s jaw worked as he ushered her into the living room to sit on the sofa.
