CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Aisling spent all the next workday waiting for word on Lance. None came until four o’clock, and by then, she was beside herself with worry. Annika entered the room looking more tired than she’d ever seen the other woman.

“Sorry for not getting back to you. It was touch and go for most of the night. They shot him in the chest and shoulder, and he’d lost a lot of blood. But the doctors say he’ll be good as new after a few months of recovery and therapy.”

Aisling exhaled a long sigh of relief. “Thank goodness. I hardly slept for worrying.”

The other woman nodded. “I didn’t, so I hear you. Anyway, it’s all good news. You don’t have to worry about a debrief. We talked to Thomas Scott and got the details. Once Lance is ready to talk, we’ll go over it with both of you at the same time.”

Aisling wanted to ask questions, but Annika turned and marched out immediately after sharing the information.

“Well, that’s good news,” Victoria offered. “Now, go get changed. We’re going out tonight, remember?”

Aisling protested, “You know, after such a long day—” but was instantly interrupted.

“No. No, no, no. You are coming out. You said you would, and now you’re going to. Did you bring appropriate attire?”

“I did.”

“Then go and change into it.” Aisling opened her mouth to reply, but Victoria lifted a hand. “No words. Only action. Shoo.” She made a flapping motion with her hand, and Aisling gave up. When she returned to the workspace, she was in a pair of black slacks, boots with a modest heel on them, and a sparkly red blouse. She’d also put on extra makeup and a silver link chain necklace with a tree of life symbol dangling from it.

Victoria whistled. “See? I knew you could dress up nice if you tried. I’ll get changed, and we’ll go.” It wasn’t the first time they’d gone out after work, but tonight had more to it than just a drink or a meal. The first planned stop was at a bar for drinks and a snack before moving on to a nightclub to dance. Aisling and Victoria had the love of dancing in common, although it was certain her friend would spend much of the night working her information-gathering skills on anyone she found remotely interesting.

The boyfriend hadn’t been mentioned yet that day, so Aisling figured Victoria was at least open to other options. When she returned, they headed out to Victoria Square, where Oliver and Mia were waiting for them. They were both dressed up as well. He had on a gray suit with those skinny trousers the hip people wore, but no tie over his purple shirt. She wore a dress that left her shoulders, arms, and her legs below mid-thigh bare except for jewelry and some boots Aisling was immediately jealous of. Both also had big smiles.

“I told you I’d get her to come,” Victoria crowed.

Mia nodded. “You did. I still didn’t believe you.”

“Well, now you know better.
