SAVING BRIE

11:30 a.m. Friday—Singles Weekend, Day 1

BRIE SULLIVAN AWOKE SLOWLY, absorbing each separate detail as she moved through the layers of sleep. There was the hum of a motor, the muted sound of a bluesy sax and it was daylight.

Where was she?Opening her eyes, she blinked at the sun’s rays flooding the car, then squeezed her eyes shut again.

She knew exactly where she was. She’d needed only that one quick glimpse of the man in the driver’s seat to bring all the grim details flooding back.

He was ex-CIA agent Cody Marsh, the man charged with keeping her alive, a man who’d practically kidnapped her off the street in Times Square and eventually whisked her away in his car.

Not that she’d objected to being whisked. She’d gone along with him quite willingly after someone had taken a shot at her.

Brie had no idea how long she’d slept, but she’d badly needed the brief escape from the nightmare that had become her life. Now reality was back with a vengeance. Cody Marsh was the second man who’d been assigned the task of making sure she survived long enough to testify at Dicky Ferrante’s trial in New York City.

Her first bodyguard was dead.

When he’d escorted her to the Kansas City airport yesterday, he’d taken a bullet meant for her.

Well, the events of the last twenty-four hours had proven that if there was one thing Brie needed, it was excellent security.

So far Cody Marsh had delivered in spades. Dodging bullets in Times Square seemed to be right up his alley. And she felt safe with him—safer than she’d felt in the six months since she’d left her place of work, a classy bar on the Upper East Side of New York, and stepped into a pile of trouble.

The Dark Horse Tavern had been her best singing gig in over a year, and her agent had just booked her into a lounge at a newly opened casino in Las Vegas. Everything had been coming up roses for Brie Sullivan.

Until she’d stepped into that alley and witnessed up-and-coming mobster, Dicky Ferrante, gun down her boss.

Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Dicky had taken a shot at her, too, before she’d high-tailed it out of there using all the skill she’d picked up as a state-wide champion in track. Then she’d played the good citizen and reported the shooting to the police.

After that, life as she’d known it had gone to hell in a handbag. She’d been put into the witness protection program,
