The clock on the taxi’s dashboard read eight-fifty. Shanna was running late, but at least she was no longer being followed. Thanks to the driving skills of her taxi driver, Oringo, they had shaken the black SUV off their trail.

“This is the street.” Shanna glanced at the piece of paper where she’d written the address. “Fifty-two sixty-seven. Do you see it?”

The street was dimly lit, making it hard to read the numbers on the houses. They passed a house that was completely dark.

Oringo slowed down. “I think that was it.”

“The dark one?” Why would Bob wait in the dark? An icy finger of doubt tickled the back of Shanna’s neck. Bob had sounded strange on the phone, too.

Oringo pulled over to park. “Here you are. I make fifty dollars extra, right?”

“Yes.” Shanna removed her billfold from her purse. She glanced again at the dark house. “Does that look safe to you?”

“Looks empty to me.” Oringo took a bite of his pastrami sandwich, then twisted in the seat to look at her. “You want to go somewhere else?”

She swallowed hard. “I don’t know where else to go.” She scanned the area. There were several parked cars along the street. Was that a black sedan? The tickle on the back of her neck drifted down her spine. “Can you drive by that black car?”

“Okay.” Oringo coasted up the street, slowly passing the sedan.

Shanna peeked over the backseat. Seated behind the wheel of the sedan was a man. “Oh my God!” He was the same man who had cursed in Russian in front of Roman’s house.

He stared back at her, his eyes narrowed.

Shanna turned her back to him. “Drive! Hurry!”

Oringo stomped on the accelerator. The tires squealed. Shanna glanced back. The Russian was yelling into a cell phone. Oringo reached the end of the street and swerved into a left turn, cutting off her view.

Oh shit. The Russians had found out about the safe house. Where on earth could she go? “Aaargh.” She sank down in the seat and covered her face.

“You okay, miss?”

“I—I need to think.” A friend, she needed a friend. Someone who could hide her, loan her some cash. Think! She tapped the heel of her palm against her brow. She couldn’t go far. She was almost out of cash now. A friend, somewhere close.

“Radinka!” Shanna sat up.

“What?” Oringo gave her a worried look in the rearview mirror.

“Can you take me to Romatech Industries?” She fumbled through her purse and pulled out the paper she’d printed earlier. “Here’s the address. Just outside White Plains.” She leaned forward to show it to Oringo.

“Okay. No problem, miss.”

Shanna settled back in her seat. Radinka would help her. She was kind and understanding. And she had said she worked evenings at Romatech. There would also be security at the facility. And lots of people working there. Including Roman Draganesti.

Shanna shuddered. No way would she ask that womanizing creep for help. She’d explain to Radinka that she had no desire to ever see Roman again. She only needed a safe place to hide until she could contact the U.
