I shook my head, offering a partial truth. “I heard Tony shout, that was it, and next thing I knew I was waking up and whoever it was had skipped out. I couldn’t wake up Tony or Steve so I called for help.” They were both studying me, the street cop with his beady eyes and, though I knew the other one was too, I couldn’t see a freaking thing behind those dark glasses. It was like they could see right into my head and I had to force myself to meet their gazes.

“You know how long you were out?” Detective Aderson spoke now, and my attention shifted toward him.
