Debbie gave Catherine some of her clothes and set her up in the spare bedroom. She slept most of the day, came out around dinnertime and asked Debbie for some more Advil. She didn’t eat anything, or acknowledge me, other than to give me the finger. She got her Advils with a glass of water and went back to her room. Her piercing black eyes were filled with anger, and she spat daggers at me as she slammed the door shut.

Debbie frowned and shook her head. “She looks like shit.”

“That’s to be expected. She’s got a drug addiction, plus she’s been through a brutal day. I can’t imagine what’s going through her mind right now.”

“Probably how to escape from us.”

“You should think about taking her to a doctor for a physical. I bet she’s got all kinds of health issues going on, plus she’ll need some meds to help ease her off the drugs.”

“I thought of that. I need to talk to her and see if she’s open to it.”

“Did she speak to you at all when I was in the hangar?”

“Yeah, she’s angry and feels terrible. It sounds crazy, but all those men in her house were her friends. They looked after her, like big brothers. You killed them all and now she hates you for it.”

“Unfortunately, I didn’t kill them all. None of them were Cosmo.”

“She said he wasn’t home last night. He spends about half his time in Camden, where he was last night.”

“Lucky bastard. Our mission would have been a complete success if he was there.”

“No worries, Catherine is safe now.”

“Is she? With that psycho running around, nobody is safe.”

“How’s he ever going to find us?”

“People like that have ways, and they don’t give up. It ruins their street cred if they do. And one thing about that Cosmo—he values his street cred above everything else.”

“True. But I still think the odds of him tracking us down are slim to none.”

“Yeah, well, just the same, I’ll keep tabs on him through HFS.”

“Good thinking.”

We finished our dinner and sat on the couch with a cold beer. I wanted to put on some Barry White, but Debbie nixed that idea. “Yeah, right, I don’t think so.”
