тАЬI mean, what happens now? What do we do?тАЭ

тАЬWe?тАЭ

тАЬWeтАЩve got to sic the cops on the bad guy, right? Do weтАФerтАФdrop a dime on him?тАЭ

тАЬNo cops!тАЭ she said, startling him. She hadnтАЩt been this rattled when Ugo had been trying to smash her
face in. тАЬWeтАЩll keep you out of trouble until this blows over. End of plan.тАЭ

тАЬBlows over?тАЭ he practically shouted. тАЬI have toтАФwehave to put our lives on hold until oleтАЩ One
Eyebrow goes away? Forgive me, but I thought you were a little more pro-active than that.тАЭ

тАЬYouтАЩre right,тАЭ she admitted, тАЬbut when the law is involved, I canтАЩt be as pro-active as IтАЩd like.тАЭ

тАЬButтАжarenтАЩt you in trouble, too? WonтАЩt Jerkoff try to kill you?тАЭ

тАЬOh, heтАЩs been trying,тАЭ she said casually, as if a large, frightening, ugly man trying to kill her was of as
much consequence as a threatened spring shower. тАЬFor years. HeтАЩll never get me. Too dumb. Too
slow.тАЭ

тАЬToo lame a bad guy, sounds like,тАЭ he muttered. тАЬItтАЩs almost embarrassing to be on his shit list.тАЭ

She frowned. тАЬThis is serious. YouтАЩre a sitting duck because youтАЩre different.тАЭ

тАЬYou mean because I have two eyebrows?тАЭ

She giggled into her cup and he was absurdly pleased with himself. тАЬI mean, youтАЩre a citizen. A
taxpayer, one of the good guys. Not like Carlotti.тАЭ

He pounced. тАЬNot like you?тАЭ

The smile vanished, poof! тАЬYou ask a lot of questions, Dr. Dean.тАЭ

тАЬJared. And youтАЩre still in trouble from this guy, same as I am. WhoтАЩs going to look out for you? I mean,
if you get sick or hit by a car or have chest pains, IтАЩm your man, but if a hit squad starts shooting at you
to shut you up, IтАЩll be the one cowering in the corner with my hands over my ears.тАЭ

She smiled and tried to hide it, but he saw it and grinned back at her. тАЬCarlotti knows he has nothing to
fear from me in court,тАЭ she explained, getting up to refill her cup. She disdained the sugar locker and
drank it black, making an appreciative face. He couldnтАЩt believe itтАФof all the things to happen this
evening, beautiful Kara enjoying the hospitalтАЩs interpretation of coffee was the strangest. тАЬI canтАЩt testify
against him.тАЭ

She didnтАЩt elaborate, but Jared was able to figure that one out. There were only two reasons not to
testify against anyone: fearтАФwhich Kara didnтАЩt seem to know the meaning ofтАФand having something to
hide. You didnтАЩt testify for the D.A. if the D.A. had something on you as well.

He wondered what she had done.
тАЬSo letтАЩs go see the D.A.,тАЭ he said, seizing the bull by the horns.
