Coming to work in Sizzle was supposed to distract her enough that she wouldn’t sit staring at the phone waiting for it to ring all night, like a lovesick teenager.

But sitting in the office, with her legs crossed, and one foot tapping against the leg of her desk, Nya had done nothing but stare at the device lying in front of her.

Her chin was propped on the heel of her hand and she was gnawing on her pinkie nail, wiggling her pen between her first two fingers. Archer had said he would call, but the flight would be like nine or ten hours and God only knew how long it would take him to get from the airport to his final destination. And who knew what cellphone reception was like in Columbia? Maybe he had to wait for a landline; did they have those down there? Maybe it wasn’t easy to make calls out of the country. Nya didn’t know.

She didn’t know how long he would be down there, didn’t know when he would be coming back, and if he never got to a phone, she could be waiting here for days or weeks, never hearing from him, and jumping every time the door opened, straining to hear every whisper trying to pick out his voice.

Tag was gone too. All of her support network had left the country, left the continent, and she didn’t have the first clue why. Nya tried to console herself by focusing on Sizzle. Keeping this place going was her job, it was Tag’s club, Archer had put in time here, so she had to keep it together. But still, listening to the pulse of her pen and the thud of her foot, she had to admit, if she had more confidence in their destination, she’d probably be on a plane by now.

But what would be the point in chasing after them? It would be tough enough to find them if they stayed in Bogota, but if they travelled, which was likely, being that both Hexam and Tag were involved in the drugs trade. They could be anywhere on the continent by now, dealing with the worst kind of people.

The only thing that gave her any hope, was Farrah’s presence. Hexam wouldn’t have sent his sister somewhere dangerous. So as long as she was with the two men, Nya believed that Archer and Tag should be safe. But Hexam did business with men in that country, that’s what Archer had said. Farrah could be secreted away to some fancy house somewhere. This could be Hexam’s way of separating her from Tag. Maybe the whole thing was a ruse.

Archer would know what was going on. He knew everything; he’d have been ferreting out information without Hexam’s knowledge. Still, Nya stared at her handset, praying for it to ring. Did all the airlines have telephones? She’d never been outside the US.

Ridiculous as it was, when the door opened, she pounced to her feet. For a split second, she was sure that Archer was going to walk through it.
