Jason caught up to her and missed a grab for her arm as she entered the revolving door at the rear exit of the hotel.

He’d run down two flights of stairs, only to see the kickback of the bottom of her blue dress and a silver heel disappear around a corner when he shouted her name. She didn’t slow down, but at least he’d been able to catch up.

Two steps out of the revolving door he spun her around to look at him. “Just stop a minute and talk to me.”

“Why, so you can convince me to give up my claims? So you can sweet talk me into walking away?”

He frowned at her and dropped his hands from her body. “Have I ever tried to manipulate you? This is always about you. You’re the avenging angel out to save all the little innocents. Did it occur to you that everyone else isn’t a villain? Some people are just doing their jobs. They think they’re right, too, Briet. You can’t beat them over the head with their failings and expect them to knuckle under to your way of thinking and be pleased about it.”

She waved a hand to the hotel lobby. “Those men are never going to change their way of thinking. They’re going to race that drug to the market and bulldoze anyone who stands in their way. Children like Annie will be crushed under their feet.”

“You’re letting your emotions get in the way.” Jason exhaled in frustration. “There are other ways to work the problems you’ve mentioned. What you’re doing isn’t going to solve any of them. You blow so hot even people who want to help you can’t get close enough without getting burned.”

She looked offended and then narrowed her eyes. “Like you?”

“What does that mean?” He moved closer, staring down at her face. “I thought we’d established some trust. I thought you were going to come to me with issues. When did we end up on different sides? And when did you get hold of the autopsy report?”

A quick twinge of guilt flickered across her face at the last question, but she rebounded. “I only saw it today and I tried to get in touch with you,” she said, her tone filled with confusion.

He pulled out his cell phone and quickly clicked through the calls. “Nope, not one from you.”

Crossing her arms, she gave a little sound of exasperation. “I left my phone at home. So I left you messages on your desk.”

“Phone’s not going to do you any good somewhere else.”

She lifted her tiny silver purse. With a terse movement, she snapped open the clip and extracted the phone with two fingers. “Happy?” Not waiting for an answer, she dropped it back into her purse and snapped it shut again. “I figured you didn’t want to deal with this,” she said, a little bit calmer.

Now he was pissed. “You’re kidding, right? You know very well that I’ve done everything I can to make your work with this team go smoothly.
