Things get blurry after the bomb goes off. I recall the ambulance crew cleaning the kid’s knees and being checked over for injuries myself, but other than dust in my hair I’m fine except for a few scratches. The blast did knock me off my feet, and I’m warned there might be deep bruises that will appear on my skin in a couple of days. The police ask a hundred thousand questions, or rather the same few a hundred different ways. My answers remain the same. I can’t tell them anything new the final time that I didn’t already share on the first.

It’s late when they finish grilling me and agree to let me go. I’m so damned weary it’s an effort to plod along the corridor to the exit. Words and events buzz in my head. My balance is shot to hell, despite having had nothing alcoholic to drink, and I can’t seem to concentrate on a fixed point, until I see her.

Kira’s waiting for me in the station foyer, minus the cute kid. She’s propping up a wall beside a board of leaflets advertising various addiction and mental health services and places that provide legal advice. She’s all lean, mean, and stylish in black, despite the scrape across her left shoulder that’s only partially hidden by a dressing. A jacket, a different one to earlier swings from the tip of her finger, and sunglasses are perched across her nose. She reminds me of a young Debbie Harry—yes, I know who that is. Old music and film are what got me through my teens—perfectly blonde on the outside, but with a backbone far tougher than mine.

When she sees me, Kira allows the glasses to slide down her nose so that she can peer over the top of them. Her eyes are the same ice-blue that I encountered the night we met, but I’ve seen how they melt now, how they burn with a lilac flame in the heat of passion.

“All Stars have made arrangements for you to stay elsewhere tonight.” Her right eye is blackened around the socket, and she has a slender cut right below the ring of bruising. I don’t know why, but I find it weirdly sexy. Leastways, a giddy sort of jolt zaps through my body, and I start genuinely breathing again in a way I haven’t over the last few hours.

“It’s not safe for you to go back to your usual hotel. Not until the team have thoroughly checked it over to ensure there are no other nasty surprises lurking. And even if it’s clear, it’s still a bad idea. For your own protection—”

“I get it.” I don’t need anyone to spell out the fact that I’m in danger. I’ve been shot at, and nearly blown up in the space of a week.

“Come on.” Her hand presses against the small of my back. I’m taller than she is, but that touch infuses me with a sense of security, like I actually believe she’ll keep me safe, as she’s my guardian angel or something.
