Chapter Twelve

One of Fallyn’s clients, Gail Hanson, always said bad things happened in threes. Fallyn decided if that was true, she could relax. She’d met her day’s quota. First the president, then Special Agent Bronco, then the intruder. In fact, after the past week, she was pretty sure she’d met the entire year’s quota.

Justice Greystone’s Dodge charger wound its way around a section of the city Fallyn had never seen before. She took another bite of cupcake and leaned her head against the headrest. “Syd was right. These are excellent peanut butter-chocolate cupcakes.”

Grey glanced in his rearview. “They’re her favorites.”

Syd had driven around the city enough to make Fallyn’s head spin; Grey was doing the same. It had taken Fallyn at least ten minutes to unroll herself from the rug in the back of Syd’s van, Tony had wrapped her up so tight. She’d never been claustrophobic, but being wrapped up in that rug and not knowing where she was going made her a touch carsick. Once she was able to exit the rug and climb up to the seat to talk to Syd, her stomach settled. A few minutes later, and in a different vehicle driving through the DC twilight, she was ravenous.

Stress did that to her. The adrenaline and uncertainty of what came next. Not all stress was bad, but either way, it made her hungry. Her dad had never been big on doling out hugs, but he’d shoved more than a few plates of spaghetti in front of her during her teen years.

As she polished off another bite of cupcake, she wondered where Tony was and if he was okay.

Of course, he is. He’s Tony Gerard, one-man army. He would have laughed at her for worrying about him.

Syd and Fallyn had met Grey at the cupcake shop, where the leader of the Justice Team had handed his fiancée a box of goodness. Syd had smiled, pecked him on the cheek, and dug out a cupcake for Fallyn. “You look like you could use this,” she said. “Guaranteed to make you feel better.”

“I like your girlfriend.” Fallyn licked frosting from the top of the cupcake. The rich chocolate flavor mixed with the creamy peanut butter really was doing a world of good for her attitude. She no longer wanted to kill someone. “She’s no nonsense like me.”

“That she is.” He checked his side view. “So who do you think is trailing us?”

Right. Back to reality. It sort of pissed her off that some freak behind them was ruining her moment. Sometimes a girl needed to enjoy her freaking cupcake without worrying about who might be after her. “Most likely, someone the president sent to make me nervous. Second guess? Special Agent Bronco.”

She felt like adding that they both could go screw themselves, but that was unprofessional, and while Tony might appreciate her bluntness, she had the feeling Grey wouldn’t. She wasn’t worried about the person trailing them. If anything, this was a show of power from Nicols, following up on his earlier threats.
