TERRI, THE RECEPTIONIST who worked at the front desk, was supposed to be my ride home after work, but when I wheeled over to her at quitting time with my coat and purse on my lap, she gave me a funny look and shook her head.

“What does that mean?” I asked, immediately suspicious.

She pointed toward the glass-paned front doors. Or, more specifically, to the enormous, glowering Russian leaning against the hood of his car on the other side of those doors, with Wade at his side. Dima had both his arms and legs crossed. Wade had his back to me, legs shoulder-width apart in a stance meant to intimidate Dima, but there wasn’t a chance in hell of that happening.

I sighed. “How long have they been out there?” I asked Terri.

“Since not long after the end of your Disabled-But-Able meeting. Probably an hour or more. They did some yelling at first. Scared a little elderly lady, and I had to tell them to knock it off or I’d call the cops on them. So they stopped yelling at each other, but they haven’t budged. Most people are skirting around them. I can’t say I blame them, either. They’re both kinda scary-looking, aren’t they?”

When they wanted to be… “I have a feeling one of them will be taking me home tonight, so you can go on whenever you’re ready.”

“You sure?” she asked, warily eyeing the two most bullheaded men I’d ever known.

“Positive.” I might not be happy about it, but there wasn’t any way around it. Besides, I was even more bullheaded than the two of them combined. Someone had to break these two up before they killed each other, and it appeared I was the lucky someone in line for the job. Not that I had a clue what they were going on about, but apparently I’d find out soon enough. “Can you lock up?”

“Got it. I’ll see you in the morning.” She took another glance out the windows. “You sure you don’t want me to call the cops anyway?”

“I’m sure. I can handle those two.” I put on my coat and headed out into the warmer-than-it-appeared air, immediately wishing I’d left the coat off. We must have had a warm front blow in while I was otherwise occupied doing my job.

Dima raised a brow when he saw me come out, and Wade turned around to face me, planting both feet in the same kind of stance as before, with his arms crossed in front of him. They should get a look at the pair of them. Good grief. They might as well be twins with the way they were posturing and glaring and whatnot.

“What the hell’s gotten into you two to make you scare off a little old lady in front of my community center?” I demanded once I got close enough that I wouldn’t have to yell. “You were getting along just fine while we were all inside, so what went wrong?”

“There were people around us inside,” Wade said, “and besides, it wasn’t about us in there.
