With her head spinning, Mira left the social hour and headed back down the hall toward the hotel. She didn’t want to leave Chelle behind, but if she pulled Chelle away from Max and Ruby it would only increase Jack’s suspicions if he was still watching her – which he almost certainly was. The bastard never let anything go.

Mira walked quickly through the hotel lobby, intending to spend the rest of the evening in her room, trying to calm down and figure out exactly what Jack knew and how he’d use it against her. Instead, she wound up in the hotel gym.

She passed it on the way to the elevators, a narrow hallway branching off from the lobby and leading to a room where she heard the motorized whir of a treadmill. Mira went down the hall and found a glass door, locked and equipped with a keycard reader, and beyond it was a small room with a row of free weights in front of a mirror, an elliptical machine, a bike, and a couple of treadmills. One them was in use by a young guy sprinting along with an air that seemed to say, I’m a young, fit, attractive white man and the world is my oyster. If I want to be a library director, it won’t take me ten whole years to get there and my employees won’t fight every decision I make.

She decided that she’d probably feel a lot better if she went for a run instead of just lying on her hotel bed, flipping through cable channels and grinding her teeth, so she went upstairs and changed into the tennis shoes and leggings she’d packed for the return trip. They weren’t optimal workout clothes, but they would do in a pinch. Then she came back downstairs and mercifully, the gym was empty by the time she let herself in with her room keycard. The young executive, or whoever he was, had finished his run and now Mira had the slightly musty-smelling room to herself. She went over to the wall and put her hand out to steady herself while she did a couple hamstring stretches, closing her eyes as she relaxed her muscles in an attempt to do the same for her mind.

What did Jack have on her, anyway? As far as she could tell, he’d seen Chelle’s hand slip into Mira’s when she pulled her onto the elevator, and he’d heard the ridiculous, stupidly giddy laugh that followed. As she pressed her toes
