Chapter Fourteen

Thursday, March 6th

Saralynn spun around in her desk chair. For circulation, not because it was a fun way to break up the day. Besides, she had only a minute before the next player came in. She’d been sitting since one in the afternoon, and it was almost five. Whose brilliant idea had it been to spice up the in-house player trading cards? Oh right. Hers. Not that it was all bad. She’d gotten a few interesting answers to the most popular questions submitted from Sinners fans. For example, Ben Collier wore neither boxers nor briefs. Holding eye contact through that interview had been damn near impossible, but she’d managed.

The whole day had been one long Russian roulette as she waited for Cole to appear. The impending awkwardness hung over her like a clingy storm cloud. She’d have to be professional and straight-faced in front of the guy who knew she was secretly rendezvousing with the boss’s brother. Second on the trepidation list was seeing her own brother, the human polygraph. Sure, she’d kept things from him in the past, but that worked better with a few thousand miles between them.

Cole came in first. The Sinners captain eased the door closed behind him and looked around the office, glancing at her quickly then focusing on the Sinbad mascot Bobblehead on her desk. The poor guy looked more nervous than she was.

“Okay, this is silly. I know you know about Madden and me, and yes, we’d like to keep it under wraps, but there’s no reason things should be weird here. I can’t imagine what you might have heard from Reese. I’d like to say it’s not true, but it probably is. Or was.” All cards on the table up front. Not her usual style in the past, but new leaf, new tactics.

Cole took the chair facing her desk and slumped back with a sigh. “It’s good to hear that. I wasn’t sure what to say or how to act. Mad’s like a brother. He’s a good guy. And the whole thing with Linden really messed him up.”

“I know.” That now-familiar ache at what that woman put him through set in. But a small part of her worried she might be no better. “Shall we get started?”

“Shoot.”

“All right. First up: what scares you?” Her fingers hovered over the computer keys, and she stared at the screen. And stared. A glance at him revealed downcast eyes. “It can’t be that bad. Trust me. Colly’s afraid of ladybugs.”

That got a smile. “Yeah? Okay, clowns. Went to a haunted house when I was five. The whole time you hear that high, insane laugh. Get to the end, think you’re home free, and a clown jumps out with a chainsaw and blood dripping from his mouth. Well, fake blood, I guess.”

“Jesus. Now I’m afraid of clowns. Moving on. Okay, this one’s better. Guilty pleasure?”

“I don’t think you should feel guilty about the things you like, but if we’re going by what the guys rag on me for, I listen to Aretha Franklin before games.
