Chapter Twenty

That afternoon, Tango and Doc took Celia outside to the backyard.

“While we’re waiting,” Doc said, “We can do a little training.”

“Training?”

“You’re staying with us,” Tango said, “you need some basic skills, at least.”

She didn’t want to voice her thought that she’d have to return to the States soon, so what was the point?

Anything she could learn, to keep their trust, wasn’t a waste of time, she supposed.

They started working with her on some basic self-defense techniques.

“Do you know anything?” Tango asked.

“A couple of things.” She knew one or two moves already, quick moves designed to break contact with an urban mugger, but she’d never needed them in real life.

“Let’s see,” Doc said.

Turned out it was a good thing she’d never needed them against a real-life mugger, because her movements were totally ineffectual against the two skilled men.

Tango stepped back after pinning her yet again, shaking his head in disgust. “I can see we need to start the snowflake here with baby steps,” he said as Doc offered her a hand to help her up off the ground yet again.

“Gee, thanks.”

“Well, you do,” Tango said. “Look how we grabbed you. If you’d known anything, we couldn’t have swooped in like we did and scooped you up. You would have spotted us before we even got to that point.”

“How? I didn’t even know you were watching me!”

“Our point exactly,” Doc said. “You need to learn better observational skills. We were tailing you from when you walked out to your car at the hotel and followed you all the way to the supermarket.”

She blushed.

She seemed to do that a lot lately, something she hadn’t had a problem with before now.

She also didn’t have a snarky comeback for them.

Three hours later, she was exhausted and filthy from the workout. She needed a shower before cooking dinner.

As she stood under the spray and took inventory of her bruises and bumps from the self-defense lesson, the full extent of exactly how far in over her head she was truly sank home. Just when she thought she couldn’t feel any more worthless, she found a new tunnel to uncharted depths.

At least the men had unintentionally reached second base with her more than a few times during the lessons.

Yeah, that was kind of fun.

And she’d learned some things, earning both men’s approval on her vast improvement by the time Doc called an end to the session.

Although she suspected she’d be paying for it in the morning in terms of sore muscles.

They told her that tomorrow they’d be working with her with a knife, teaching her how to use it for protection. She wasn’t sure that was a great idea if she thought about how clumsy and unskilled she was, but hell, she’d consider it research and go through it without complaint.

Before dinner, Tango once again ran over to the hotel to go rumple her room. This time he returned sooner. “I parked farther away and walked in,” he explained to her. “Didn’t have to worry about someone spotting a car like I did yesterday.
