Patrice’s little place was beautiful. She had it filled with comfy-looking furniture, plants, and artwork that Gabe suspected hadn’t been cheap. But he barely got a glimpse of any of it before she tore into her bedroom and started throwing things into a bag. He almost felt sorry for the jeans and blouses that were ripped from their neat positions on the hangars in the closets and tossed ruthlessly onto the bed. He stood in the doorway and watched her for several minutes before finally saying, “I’d like to go with you.”

She stopped what she was doing and looked at him, almost as if only just remembering he was there. “No,” she said, picking up a blouse she’d shoved into the bag and suddenly folding it gently. “You’re not in any shape for a two-day trip in the car.”

“Okay, then let’s fly. Blackheart is spending the night in New York tonight so he won’t be there until tomorrow. We can take a six-hour flight and probably beat him there.” She stopped her folding and looked back up at him. Her pretty blue eyes held a suspicious glint...eerily like the one his president got in his when he thought someone was taking him for a ride.

“He’s not going to be happy about me showing up. You’re willing to risk pissing him off at you for helping me?”

Gabe shrugged. He didn’t like the idea of Blackheart being pissed at him, but Patrice was going, no matter what he said or did and he couldn’t stand the idea of her going alone. She might not need him, especially in his current state, but he wouldn’t be able to sleep knowing she was alone in Maine, chasing a potential “bad guy” who would push her mother off a balcony...and encountering the president of the Jokers, who was going to be madly pissed as soon as he saw her there. “He’ll get over it. I’m going. Even if you don’t let me go with you, I’ll fly out and find you. Le Singe will tell me where Blackheart went if I ask when you’re not around.”

“And why is that?” she asked, folding her arms. He’d renewed her anger, like throwing water on a pissed-off cat. “Because you people live in the dark ages and still think women are ‘too delicate’ to think for themselves?”

“I’m sorry, I know it seems that way. It’s just that the club is real traditional in a lot of respects. They don’t look at it like women are stupid or whatever...just that we’re protecting them from the bad stuff...”

“Oh, give it a rest. It’s the twenty-first century and trust me, there are a lot of women who could put anything any of you men in that club do to shame...”

“I’m not arguing that point, just trying to tell you how they think and where the rules come from.”

“I don’t give a shit,” she said. “This is my life he’s poking his head into and I’m not going to sit back like a princess in a gilded castle and let him be the Knight in Shining Armor.
