Nya stopped at the Munhumutapa Building on Samora Machel, in between Second and Third. The gray, utilitarian city block housed various ministries, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the well-fortified entrance allowed Grey to breathe. Two guards approached as soon as Nya killed the engine, retreating after she identified herself.

“Not going inside?” Grey said.

“I don’t feel like answering questions. I already have to explain the loss of my second gun in a week.”

“What’d you throw at the man holding me down?”

“A pen. People will react to almost anything thrown at their face, even for a split second, especially if it’s dark.”

“Quick thinking. It probably saved our lives.”

She fell silent for a moment, then shuddered. “We need to talk.”

“I think we do.”

“I want you to come to my house. It’s safe there, and you need help with your wounds.”

Grey felt his head. Matted blood caked the top of it, and it hurt to the touch. He did need to clean it. “There are hospitals.”

“You know that would take all night, assuming they have antibiotics this week, which is doubtful.”

She was right about that; he’d heard horror stories of the situation at the floundering hospitals, reduced to a skeletal state by the broken economy. The embassy had a clinic, but he didn’t want to call in a doctor at this hour for a nonlife-threatening wound, nor did he want to have to make a report and answer questions.

Could he trust her enough to go with her? There was no doubt she’d been fighting for her life, but there was also no doubt as to what he’d seen in the photo.

“I don’t think so, Nya.”

She didn’t answer but reached up and gently wiped the dirt and blood from his face. He stilled and watched her.

“I assure you there’s no danger. Call your embassy and let them know where you’re going, if you wish.”

He studied her face. Her eyes told him that tonight, at least, he was in no danger from her. He let his head fall back on the headrest. “Okay. I’ll come, and we’ll talk.”
