Chapter Nineteen

Felix was waiting for me back at the suite, Bridget sitting next to him, polishing off a hot fudge sundae. “There she is,” he smiled, rising to his feet, and I waved him back down.

“Hey guys. Did you get those meetings set up?”

“Yes, but not until the night after tomorrow. Also, I got a request from Macallister to meet with us later tonight, but not until after four, so you’ve got plenty of time to kill.”

I shot Rob a look – why had he been so insistent that Felix wanted to talk to me? It sounded like he had everything in hand. “Good. What else is on the agenda for tonight?”

“Not much.”

Bridget set her spoon aside with a clatter. “Does that mean we can blow this place off and go have some fun for a change?”

“Sure thing, babydoll,” Felix grinned. “That is, unless you need me for anything, boss?”

“Actually, I’m in the mood for a spot of fun myself. How about we all head into town and go to that bar we went to before? Pandora’s Cross?” I suggested, knowing it was one of Rob’s favorite hangouts. “I promise I won’t challenge anyone on the dance floor and spur a murder this time.” Not that Jasper hadn’t deserved it.

“Can we do that?” Bridget perked up. “That place was the bee’s knees.”

The bee’s knees? I looked closer at my friend; her relationship with Felix was changing her more than her choice in clothing.

“Absolutely. I wouldn’t mind cutting a rug or two. I’m in,” Felix stated decisively.

“What do you say, Rob?” I gave him my most winsome smile. “Feel like going out for a night away from all this political stuff?”

“If you like,” he replied, still more subdued than I would have thought by the prospect. We’d had a good time there on our last visit, and he’d seen so many of his friends there. Why did he sound so unenthusiastic?

“If you’d rather sit this one out I could take Gunnar instead, but I’d like it if you came with us.” I tried again.

“No, Gunnar and I will both be coming if you’re leaving the grounds. Tucker too.”

“Okay,” I replied, keeping the sigh to myself. “Give us twenty minutes to make ourselves beautiful. Will you guys be ready by then?”

“Ready and waiting,” Felix smiled, but his eyes were on Bridget.

“Come on, Bridge, let’s get ready to go.”

She had more clothes in the appropriate style for the forties club than I did, and I ended up borrowing a navy blue dress with white piping. Bridget wore a fire engine red dress with lips to match. I rolled her hair into fat waves, but didn’t have time to do more than pin my bangs back, leaving the rest of my hair loose around my shoulders. Even so, I felt pretty and feminine in my seamed stockings. After all, what girl doesn’t enjoy dressing up to go out dancing?

Felix looked happy as a clam in another one of his pin striped suits, this one cut to a more retro style with his fedora perched at a rakish angle.
