Chapter Fifteen

Dani-Lee should have known. Saturday’s were always busy in the ER. She snapped off what felt like her hundredth pair of sterile, purple gloves, and looked at the clock. It showed just after eleven at night. She’d worked a fifteen-hour shift, and after being stagnant for several months, she ached. Her body wasn’t used to the long hours. All she wanted to do was head home and drop into bed, but it would be up to the bad guys whether or not that would happen.

“Coming out, Candy,” she murmured via microphone to the agent who had spent all day pacing around the hospital. If Dani dragged in exhaustion, she could only imagine that Candy must be bored out of her mind, even having been privy to everything Dani had said and done all day.

“Copy that,” Candy’s voice echoed in her head. “I’ll be waiting in the car, watching the door.”

If Matthew and friends wanted to abduct her, it would be as she emerged from the hospital.

Early that morning when Hux had dropped Dani off, they all felt pretty sure there had been someone watching their interaction with more-than-casual interest. They’d put on a good show.

Upon Dani emerging from Huxley’s car, Candy had leaned in his passenger side window. “Don’t even fucking think about calling her. You assholes have screwed her life up enough,” she’d yelled loudly.

Dani had played along, looking embarrassed and pretending to tug Candy away from the car. “Candy. Really,” she’d implored in a high-pitched voice. “It’s all over now.”

Candy had thrown off her arm, looking angry. “I mean it, Dani. These guys have been messing with your head, and I’m going to kick some ass if they bother you again.” She had pounded her fist on the side of the door, leaving an actual dent, and received a middle finger salute from Huxley before he’d burned rubber out of the lot.

“Fuck you,” Candy had called after him. “I’m staying here all day, so don’t come back.”

They’d walked Dani’s fake luggage over to Candy’s car, while pretending to be in deep discussion. In reality, what Candy wanted to know had nothing to do with the op.

“So, did he get in your pants?” She had wasted no time asking, and Dani was sure color had worked up her face. “Ho. I guess that’s a yes.” Candy looked smug. “Did he fuck you, or just tease you with some more tongue and tickle?”

“We did the whole thing.” Dani-Lee knew her face glowed. “And it was…he really knows what he’s doing in bed.”

“Glad for you, sister.” Candy had thrown Dani’s bags in the trunk. “Did he kiss you this time? Sleep with you after?”

Damn. Leave it to Candy to punch to the heart of things. No. Hux hadn’t been able to overcome those obstacles. Candy must have seen the defeated look on her face.

“Okay. No sweat.” Candy had said, letting it go. “You made some good headway,” she comforted. “Now go be brilliant at work, and I’ll hang out all day and make myself visible.
