“Should I leave? Hide somewhere else?”
“You’re about to go live.”
“Yeah, but if I’m a target....”
“Synergy900 Holdings turns out to have a huge car rental division. Twenty percent of car rentals in this county come from there. But you know what else?”
“Huh?”
“Rooney is part owner in Synergy900 Holdings.”
I let out a low whistle.
“Probably coincidence,” she says.
“Yeah.” I play dumb.
“But if not, what are they up to, going after you?”

“Is it a bribe?”
“For what?”
She tilts her head and glares at me.
“You think I’m a fucking double agent?” Just then, Butter comes up to her, nose in her crotch.
“EW! Get back,” she calls out, pushing the dog’s snout away.
“Double agent with a dog with no boundaries. That’s me! Cam Perkins the double agent on parole. You don’t seriously think that?”
“No.” Her smile reaches her eyes again. “Just testing you.”
“I hate tests.”
Debbie sniffs, then winces. “Go take that shower. Newman’s right. You reek.”
As I close the bathroom door and lock it, I quickly turn on the shower spray, then lean against the door, staring at my reflection. Steam fills the room, eventually obscuring me, covering it all up until I’m here, but I’m invisible, covered by layers of heat and physics.
And when I finally take my shower, I come with two strokes, her face behind my closed eyelids, the word Princess running on an endless loop.
I found her.
I fucking found her.
I need to figure out how to save her.
More than anything, though, I want to touch her.
In every way possible.
