Chapter Nine

Willow had stopped mid-unpacking and lain down on the bed, her back to the door. Kat sat on the side of the bed, all of a sudden hesitant to touch. She didn’t want to know what was in that folder—but something didn’t add up. Willow had said she hadn’t been in touch with her ex until he showed up recently. Why lie about it?

Maybe Crystal was right after all, and all you could get, from life, from people, was a snapshot of the present. Beyond that, everyone had their little machinations and smokescreens. Kat, even. She had moved into Franklin’s house under the guise of overhauling his yard, told Willow half-truths, made Crystal think she hadn’t been devastated by her betrayal. But Crystal wouldn’t betray her when it was information meaning life or death? She had been Kat’s main contact for a long time, even the short time after it became clear she wasn’t going to leave her husband, but had another female affair lined up already. It wasn’t easy, but they kept it professional.

“Tell me about the time Simon accused you of stealing company secrets. How did that happen?”

“I don’t want to talk about it,” Willow said, predictably. “He’s an ass, it took me too long to find out. That’s all there is.”

“Then why are you in touch with him?”

“You got that from your source? The one you were talking to earlier, or the one you’ve been sleeping with?”

“Hey! You’re the one with an ex, or current, I’m not sure anymore, who doesn’t mind stepping away. Tell me how this situation is less screwed up than mine.”

“Judy has no ulterior motives in this, and neither do I. Is it the job or a personality trait of yours that makes you think people like that don’t exist?” When there was no answer, she sat up, turning to Kat. “Look, I’m sorry. I’m tired. I’ve been working on these plans for months, and then you come crashing into my life, along with some bad guys who might want to get back at Simon, or Dad, whatever. I’m just trying to sort this all out, and I…I really don’t want to lose you.”

“It’s okay.”

“Really?”

“I said it’s okay. Let’s not talk about this.”

“I can imagine you…”

“Shh.” Kat laid a finger on her lips. “We’ll be safe here for a while. Agents are watching your house and they’ll make sure to identify and neutralize any threat coming our way. These are professionals. Your dad was worried that a situation like this could arise, now that it has, we’re dealing with it. You’ll be fine.”

“I want us to be…”

Kat cut off Willow’s words with a kiss, heated, hungry. There was a chance nothing would be okay or fine in the end, but there was a small window in which they could still pretend. She eased her back down on the bed, moving her mouth from Willow’s lips to her neck, satisfied to feel her shiver.

“Not that I mind, but what about the lady in the other room? What if she…oh.
