The Girl Who Wasn't
“He says he trusts me. I know the truth. He trusts that if I’m alone, someone will try to kill me. As proof, my only escorts are Gus and two men I don’t know. I’m told Linc and others are stationed nearby, watching. It is a small comfort until I learn I will enter the party alone while my team waits in the building across the street.
A doorman with a meaty hand pulls me from the car and escorts me up the walk and through the doors. The party is already in full swing. It is a celebration, one of ...many being held in the city tonight because the election is over.
Senator Whitcomb has been re-elected and everyone is overjoyed. I’m glad for his win if it means he won’t be replaced by his Imitation counterpart.
I go without complaint because it means I will see Obadiah. I crane my neck searching for him but I cannot see past the two black-and-white tuxes blocking my path as they surge closer. Daniel reaches me first. He turns to smirk at Caine Rafferty who comes in second, which in this case is last.MoreLess
