TOUGH JUSTICE, BOOK #2

Chapter 1

“Are you sure you trust this guy?” I asked Walker. We were holding hands and walking down Melcher Street in the heat of midday, heading towards downtown. Being this close to my old office, the law firm of Proctor & Buchanan, LLC, was making me nervous.

That wasn’t the only thing that was making me nervous.

“Trust him?” Walker asked. “I don’t trust anyone except you. But we’ve run out of options, Nic.”

“That’s a massive understatement,” I said.

“I love it when you say the word massive,” Walker said, and smiled at me. Desire rushed through me when he looked at me like that, making me blush.

“It reminds of the good old days,” he said. “Well, they were sort of good — we were in my nice, clean house. That was good. But you wouldn’t sleep with me. That was bad.”

I shook my head at him. “I think we’ve made up for lost time,” I said, and we both laughed. We’d had to tear ourselves out of bed this morning to go meet Levi; every chance we got, we’d been exploring each other’s bodies. I’d had more orgasms this past week than I’d ever had combined, in my whole life. I felt myself blush even more furiously just from thinking about it.

I’d officially crossed the line with my client. I’d crossed the line so many times, in so many ways, that my Massachusetts Bar Admission certificate had probably burst into flames back in my old office.

My old office. Thinking about it made me feel so strange. The last time we’d been there, I’d almost rejoined the firm. David Proctor had offered me so much money I couldn’t see straight. And then, in a moment of clarity, I’d doubted him. And I’d handed that file to Mandy.

And now poor Mandy was dead.

I sighed, an aching, guilt-ridden sadness washing over me. That car had been meant for me. Mandy had taken my place and I would never, could never get back to that moment where I could save her. That moment where I could warn the driver. And the poor man who’d delivered our pizza, shot because someone wanted my information. I couldn’t make it right. I couldn’t go back and save any of them.

So I was just going to have to avenge them.

Adrenaline surged through me at the thought, and all my senses were heightened. We were getting closer to downtown with each step and the crowd was starting to thicken around us. We kept close to the inside corner of the sidewalk, near the buildings, so that we could press our backs against the walls if we needed to. So at least part of us was protected. Walker had taught me to do that.

I squinted at the people on the sidewalk, scanning their faces, wondering if any of them were a threat. Walker looked straight ahead now, his hand clamped over mine in an iron-like grip. I knew he was watching, too, ready to protect us, ready to throw himself in front of me if anyone moved towards us.
