“I didn’t have to. Any idiot would guess that you would go to ground here. Let’s just hope that no other idiots know about me.”
Sean gave her a smile that was equally toothy. “Just us idiots.”
“And no one followed you?”
“No.” They eyed each other, like alpha wolves circling.
“Hmm,” she murmured. “Come on, come on.” She grabbed Liv by the arm, and shoved her on one of the stools in front of a big bar.
Her kitchen was amazing. Acres of black gleaming marble counter space, endless expanses of shining silver toned appliances, an enormous double-sized silver refrigerator. A knife block that would be the envy of a professional chef, racks of hanging copper bottomed pans. The place looked like a showroom. It had clearly never been used.
Tam opened the refrigerator, and took out a clear plastic box with several hypodermic needles. “Always prepared.”
Liv blinked at them. “What—hey!” She squawked, struggled, but Tam had already yanked her T-shirt over her head and tossed it. Liv tried to slide off the stool, but Tam’s hand clamped onto her shoulder.
“What the hell? Do you mind?” Liv hissed. “Give me my shirt!”
Tam’s perfect brow tilted. “Sean said you had cuts, and a bite wound. I want to take a look. Allergic to any antibiotics?”
“No!” Liv glared at Sean, who gave her an apologetic shrug. Ineffectual twit. “And I’ve had enough of people ripping my clothes off today to last a lifetime. It isrude!”
Tam examined the bite mark, which was sore and red. “But you have great tits. Sit up straight and show them off.” Tam swabbed Liv’s arm with disinfectant, and stabbed the needle in without warning.
“Ouch!” She jerked, but Tam held her arm firmly in place. “What are you doing to me, anyway? What the hell is that?”
“Broad-spectrum stuff,” Tam said. “Human bites can go bad.” She spun the twirling stool around, swabbed the other arm.
“Hey. Wait. What’s—”
“Tetanus booster. Had one lately?”
“Uh…” Liv hesitated, trying to remember.
“Then you need one.”Stab.
Liv tried not to shriek as the stuff burned into her arm like a massive, awful bee sting. But it seemed ignoble to bitch about it.
Tam held up a third hypodermic. “Were you raped?” Her voice as matter-of-fact as if she were asking if Liv took milk in her coffee.
Liv caught her breath as an image of T-Rex squatting on top of her, flashed through her mind. “No,” she said. “Close, but no.”
Tam flashed Sean a quick, approving glance. “Good.”
“What’s in that one?” Liv asked, with some trepidation.
“A dose of morning-after juice,” Tam said. “Do you need it? You did spend the day wrangling an oversexed gorilla who was hopped up on adrenaline. I doubt he exercised much restraint. Just say the word.”
“God, Tam,” Sean complained. “Would you back off?”
“Never,” Tam said sweetly.
“Isn’t that stuff available by prescription only?” Liv asked.
Tam’s grin lit up her face, showing off blindingly white teeth. “Aw. Is she for real? She’s cute, Sean. Where did you find her?”
Sean shrugged. “In Endicott Falls. Of all places.”
Tam snapped her fingers in Liv’s face. “So? You want this shot?”
