It took about twenty phone calls, but she managed to get a hold of Lucas, but only by calling Sofia’s phone and asking to speak to him. Much to his credit, he let her rant and rave, but told her that he was not changing his mind, then hung up.

She fumed for the rest of the day and didn’t leave her office at all for the rest of the afternoon. It wasn’t difficult, but with Delacroix standing outside her door like some sentinel, there wasn’t much incentive for her to leave. Frankly, if she hadn’t run out of food, she would have been happy to stay inside here forever. She could order in, but that would mean having to open the door. If only Daric or Cross were around, but they were busy, and she doubted getting her a pizza was a top priority right now.

So, after turning off her computer and shutting off the lights, she yanked her office door open. “I’m done for the day,” she said before Delacroix could say anything.

He gave her one of those devilishly handsome smiles. “Let’s go then. I was getting hungry, and I’m sure you are too. We can have dinner on the way back to The Enclave.”

She froze. “Excuse me?”

“Dinner. You know, the meal in the evening?”

“I know what dinner is.” Unfortunately, her stomach decided it was the perfect time to growl loudly.

“Sounds like you’re ready,” he said with a grin. “Come.”

“I’m not having dinner with you.”

“Then I’ll stand next to you,” he said. “But you will be having a healthy meal, not that trash you ate today.”

“A bullet ripped right through me. I think a little caffeine and MSG won’t hurt me,” she pointed out. “I’ve been fine the last couple of months, eating what I want. And you won’t be coming with me anywhere.”

“Then how are you leaving then?”

She scrunched up her nose. “I’ll be driving myself.”

He dangled something in front of her. “Might be difficult without these.”

“What—my keys.” She tried to grab it from him, but he raised it high so she couldn’t reach it. “How did you—did you steal them from my desk? Give them back.” When her attempts to take the keys back failed, she crossed her arms over her chest and pouted.

“Are you hungry or not? Come, cher.” His hand touched her elbow gently, which still sent a frisson of electricity up her arm. “Before the traffic gets too bad.”

She allowed him to lead her to the garage and to her car but was grumbling most of the way. Breaking free of his grasp, she headed to the passenger-side seat.

He slid into the driver’s side. “Seatbelts please.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

The engine roared to life, and soon they were driving out of HQ. As they left the secret entrance, he slowed as they reached the end of the alley, then stopped completely before pulling out to the street. He barely hit twenty as he drove them up Broadway.

“Can you possibly drive any slower, gramps?”

He didn’t say anything, just kept his eyes on the road.
