Hunt walked around and got in on the other side. Cozy. She would've liked to crawl into his lap and take a nap with her head snuggled on his broad, manly chest. She gripped the armrest and looked out of the window instead.

She thought of kidnap victims who fell in love with their captors; Stockholm syndrome, they called it.

She had suppressed the little girl who'd once lived inside her. The kid who'd yearned for someone to stand between her and the world, someone to keep her safe.

She'd buried that child at fifteen when she learned, and accepted, that the only person she could depend on to protect her and Mandy was herself.

"Team'll be here at 1900," Bishop told Hunt as they pulled out into early morning commuter traffic. Max drove like a NASCAR race was in progress.

When Bishop turned sideways, she saw the huge black-and-blue knot right in the middle of his forehead.

She felt his pain.

"You have me for another few hours before I have to bail," Max told him. "Damn. I hate to miss all the fun."

Taylor rested her head against the seat and closed her eyes. How long had it been since she'd grabbed those few hours of sleep on the plane? And how long before that? Too long. Her body was an eighth of an inch away from complete shutdown.

"Where to?" Max asked beside her.

She rolled her head in his general direction and cracked her eyes open to see where they were. "Take the next right at the gas station, go six blocks and turn right again at the blue house with yellow shutters and the barking dog. I'll tell you when."

She knew she should have directed them to a hotel. But she just wanted to be home. Wanted the familiar surroundings of her condo. Her own bathroom, her own bed. But before she could do that, she had to call the school. Fortunately, they never told Mandy she was coming until she was actually on the school grounds. To her sister, each second she had to wait for her was an eternity.

"Weren't you going to a hotel?" Hunt asked.

She opened one eye to glare at him. It didn't have much impact. But it was the best she could manage.

"Don't push me, big boy. I'm having a bad day here."

Throwing up while her new lover was holding her sweaty head ranked up there with Life's Most Embarrassing Moments.

"It isn't over yet. Don't fall asleep. You need to tell us where to go."

She managed a smile. "I've told you that a dozen times at least. You never listen." She leaned over to touch Max on the shoulder. "It's the gray building on the corner with white trim."

The condo complex had high security and a doorman 24/7. Taylor had owned two condos in this complex for the past nine years. The one on the third floor was in her own name, and the smaller one, on the second floor, as Beth Tudor. Never hurt to have a backup hole to crawl into.
