тАЬThanks, IтАЩve got a million of тАШem.тАЭ Pause. тАЬHow did you know my name?тАЭ

She smiled. It was a nice smile, warm, with no condescension. тАЬIt wasnтАЩt hard to find out.тАЭ

тАЬWhatтАЩsyour name?тАЭ he asked boldly. He should have been nervous about the locked door, about the
threat to his life. He wasnтАЩt. Instead, he was delighted at the chance to talk to her, after a day of thinking
about her and wondering how she wasтАжwho she was.

тАЬKara.тАЭ

тАЬThatтАЩs gorgeous,тАЭ he informed her, тАЬand I, of course, am unsurprised. YouтАЩre so pretty! And so
deadly,тАЭ he added with relish, тАЬyouтАЩre like one of those flowers that people canтАЩt resist picking and
thenтАФbam! Big-time rash.тАЭ

тАЬThanks,тАЭ she said, тАЬI think.тАЭ She blushed, which gave her high color and made her eyes bluer. He
stared, besotted. He didnтАЩt think women blushed anymore. He didnтАЩt think women who beat up thugs
blushed at all. He was very much afraid his mouth was hanging open and unable to do a thing about it.

тАЬUmm?тАЭ

тАЬтАФIтАЩm not sure you understand the seriousness of the situationтАФтАЭ

тАЬLong, tall and ugly is out to get me,тАЭ he said, sitting down opposite her. He shoved a pile of charts
aside; several clattered to the floor and she watched them fall, bemused. тАЬBut since youтАЩre not the
hitman, IтАЩm not too worried.тАЭ

тАЬActually, IтАЩm your self-appointed bodyguard.тАЭ

тАЬOh, well, then IтАЩm not worried at all,тАЭ he said with feigned carelessness, while his brain chewed that
oneтАжbodyguard?тАжover.

тАЬYou could take on an assassin with one hand while writing a grocery list with the other. YouтАЩre certainly
a match for whoever that guy sends after me. So, do I pay you? Should we even be talking about
money? WhatтАЩs the etiquette here?тАЭ

She blinked. тАЬUhтАжthat wonтАЩt be necessary. Dr. DeanтАФтАЭ

тАЬJared.тАЭ

тАЬтАФmay I say, youтАЩre taking this remarkably well?тАЭ

тАЬWork in an E.R. for a year,тАЭ he said, suddenly grim. тАЬYou learn to recover your equilibrium pretty
damned quickly.тАЭ

тАЬTouch├й,тАЭ she said quietly.

тАЬSo now what?тАЭ
тАЬNow you donтАЩt get killed.тАЭ
