CHAPTER 20 - Fool me once...

After putting on a robe, Sara returned to the bed and started tearing at the tape covering Duke.

“How did Tanner wrap you up so much by himself?”

“He wasn’t alone; he was with that redhead, Sophia. She was actually the one who hit me with a stun gun as I was getting in my van.”

“That bitch, but tell me, you saw them together, do you think he cares for her?”

“Yes, but I don’t think he loves her, and if you think threatening her would make him give up, you’d be wrong.”

“I agree, but damn it, the man must have a weakness.”

“And if you find it, what then?”

Sara stopped tearing at the tape and straightened up.

“I won’t go back on my word, I never have, but I have to be prepared when Tanner goes back on his. I know the man, he’s as devious as they come and if I have any hope of surviving him I’ll need leverage, but tell me, how did you plant the tracking unit?”

“Tanner did it himself, that’s how they’re designed. I broke into his car and placed it on the brake pedal. The second he stepped on it, it became embedded in the bottom of his boot.”

“Won’t it just fall off?”

“No, he would have to cut it out. This is real hi-tech spy stuff, ha, and wait until you see the bill for the tiny little bugger.”

“Where’s the tracker?”

“There’s no device, just a satellite link. I sent you the code by email. You can even install it on your phone as an App.”

Duke’s hands were free and he tore away the last of the tape.

“God that hurts and I won’t have any arm hair for a while.”

Sara patted him on the shoulder.

“This was risky, but you did it and I’ll show my appreciation with a bonus.”

“Thanks, but you better go talk to that boyfriend of yours. He looked really pissed.”

“He’ll calm down, and once I prove to him that Tanner can’t be trusted, he’ll thank me.”

***

Sara found Johnny putting on his suit jacket as he prepared to leave the apartment.

“Where are you going? I thought you were staying?”

“And I thought you could be trusted.”

“What’s that mean? I said that I wouldn’t try to kill Tanner, I never said that I wouldn’t have him followed.”

Duke came out of the bedroom, looking disheveled and a bit sheepish.

“I still can’t believe Tanner spotted me following him. I must be getting old.”

Johnny shook his head in disgust.

“You’re lucky he didn’t kill you, and if he had, I wouldn’t blame him. Tanner is not a man you want to play games with.”

Duke opened the door.

“I’ll leave you two alone. I have to go home and soak this glue off my skin, goodnight.”

Duke left and Johnny placed his hand on the door to leave as well, but stopped when Sara hugged him.

“Don’t go. I know you don’t agree with what I did, but I don’t trust Tanner and I’m surprised that you do.”

Johnny took his hand off the door, went over to it, and sat on the sofa.
