“Do you dance?” A woman’s voice on the phone asked him in Russian. Tanya Larina.

“Do I…dance?”

Bethany was looking at him strangely. They’d finished most of the pizza and both beers. Now they were at either end of the couch and talking about dogs. Big surprise there. He’d managed to avoid the protectee topic, mostly.

“Da. Ya tantsuyu,” was all Alex could think to say.

“Good. Your Lieutenant Carlton Tibbets does not run and I can not imagine that he dances. Is he even alive? My day is over and I need to drop it in the road. Leave your dog and pick me up in fifteen minutes. We are going dancing.” And she hung up.

He put his phone away and ran his hand through his hair, trying to figure out what had just happened.

“What’s up?” Bethany still sat on the end of his couch.

“Uh,” he wasn’t sure. It was his job to provide protection duty. And that meant he was on call. But…

He didn’t have anything to place on the other side of that. Tanya’s safety was his job.

He checked his watch. Nine-thirty at night. Tomorrow he was on duty at seven.

His protectee had just made it sound as if she was going out with or without him. He was actually impressed that she had called him at all. Yesterday’s attack must have spooked her more than she was willing to admit. But she also wasn’t going to let such a thing keep her from doing what she wanted.

“Uh,” he looked at Bethany again, then shrugged. “Looks like I’m back on duty.” He checked his watch again. “Actually, I’m already late.” Because even if he hit all the lights green, he was twenty minutes from her hotel.

“Welcome to the friggin’ Secret Circus,” Bethany pushed to her feet and scooped up the last piece of pizza. “Ain’t protection detail just so fine?” She walked out the front door.

He hit his gun safe and pulled out a slimline radio along with two concealed carry pieces.

He had the feeling it was going to be a long night.
