I’m in my car. My phone goes over to Bluetooth. “I’m going to get off the phone now. Send me a location pin when I do,” I tell Morgan.

“Fine.” I can hear how pissed she is.

I’m feeling a little despondent myself. That and frustrated. What the fuck! I call Bolt and then send him Morgan’s location.

“Who is she?” he asks.

“It’s the woman I told you about. Morgan.”

He doesn’t sound happy, but he agrees to go there. I’m ten minutes away. He’s less than five. I don’t want her stranded alone. The harpy knows her location. She’s sold Morgan out before. She could do it again. I don’t care if Morgan thinks she can take care of herself. She’s still human. She can break. I want her safe. I would never forgive myself if something happened to her.

I push the speed limit. It takes me eight minutes to get there. Bolt is pushing Morgan’s car when I get there. I watch as she steers onto the side of the road. I park as she gets out. Morgan is frowning. Her eyes are blazing to the point where she looks like she might hit something or burst into tears.

“I can’t believe this happened,” she says as I jog up to them. “She had pulled a little ahead, but I was gaining. I was going to cut her off. I had her.”

“It’s not your fault,” I say. “These things happen. Have the two of you met?”

Bolt nods. “Yes. I believe Morgan was at the hospital watching you,” he says to me.

“I wasn’t watching him,” Morgan mutters, giving me a dirty look that makes me want to laugh. “I was keeping a look out for the harpy…and good thing too, or she would’ve had you,” she says to Bolt. “I’m going to assume you’re not human and that you have powers as well?”

Bolt folds his arms, looking annoyed. He ignores Morgan. “You said you don’t really know her. You said you don’t trust her. Why is she here again?”

“I just saved your ass,” Morgan says to Bolt before turning to me. “This asshole is rude.” She points at Bolt. “I just stopped that harpy bitch from—”

“This asshole over here…” he points at himself, “just helped you move your car. I have dirt on my Armani suit,” Bolt says to Morgan.

“Boo-hoo!” Morgan looks like she’s getting ready to stab Bolt.

“Maybe we should talk privately.” He turns back to me.

“Excuse us for a minute,” I say to her. “Let me have a quick word, and we’ll be right back.”

Morgan looks murderous. “Whatever,” she mutters, taking off her jacket, which she scrunches into a ball and throws into her car. She isn’t wearing the wig which I assume is in the car. We walk away. I hear Morgan pop the hood.

“What the fuck?” Bolt says under his breath. “What just happened?”

“I should have told you Morgan was tailing me, but I didn’t want to get into it with you and Night. The rest, you know.”

“This is a fucking mess.
