Chapter Twenty One

Nick found the gasoline emergency had an upside. Commuters suddenly discovered the pleasures of car pooling, and the virtues of mass transit. When the HomSec girl walked into the impound office, he had his feet on the desk, and his nose in Gun Digest. Huh. He thought the plan was she'd show up at the house, after school.

She was smart, she was cute, and why the hell was she back? Maybe the two FPS men were using her to set him up. He slipped the office Beretta out of the desk drawer and into his waistband.

Kat leaned over the desk, drawing his eyes. “I'm here for you to take me to lunch. Your treat, because I’m still waiting for my first paycheck.”

“Nice try, but as you can see, I’m at work. One of Metro’s highly trained Dispatch Officers, keeping the roadways free of idiots.”

“Yeah, well. Now that I’m here, and my car’s here, your work load is pretty light. How ‘bout it?”

She was becoming what the lawyers call an ‘attractive nuisance’. Like a poison ivy vine, she grew on you. What the hell. He opened the communal refrigerator, took inventory. “If you’ll settle for a microwave pizza, you got a deal. We can take it up on the Cannon Works roof, watch the Potomac roll by.” And have a bird’s eye view, in case this is a setup for a bushwhack.
