“Peggy!”
“I know, I know.” She held up her hands. “The plan was that I would be the only one to receive the fake Eros shot, but something went wrong when I was in the dispensary and the darn bomb went off.

When I checked it again, it was gone.” Her voice rose to a crescendo, a hysterical note ringing in it. “That’s why I was crying.” She sobbed again.

Cheeks flushing a deep crimson, she nodded. “Thank you.”
“Don’t thank me yet.” I clapped her shoulder, wondering how the heck we were going to get out of such a mess.
