One snake was dangerous.

Two…

They were deadly.

The Underground

Afternoon

Arrival

Somehow, Remington managed to get into the bar with very little hoopla.

That was always a good thing when no one paid any attention to him. It was nice to blend in, find a spot to settle down, and watch over Calyx.

She was his main concern.

He knew Artemis, and if she was the one who gave those pictures to the dark web, and was pretending to leave NOLA, he wanted to stick close to this woman.

Something was up.

His CIA senses were going haywire, and he just needed to figure out what was about to go down.

He’d bet his career on the fact that Artemis was poised on something, ready to strike.

He knew how she worked.

Anyone who ever tried to play this game against her lost. She was sneaky, tricky, and she didn’t value anyone in her life.

Spilling blood was a sport for her, and if she was gunning for him, like he now believed, Calyx was in danger.

He’d bet on it.

If she got hurt, Artemis could make a strike at him, like she tended to enjoy doing.

A woman scorned…

They got mean.

Now, as he was sitting in the bar, off in a corner just watching the place, there was one person on his radar.

Calyx.

When he said he was going to watch her, he wasn’t kidding.

He was definitely staring up a storm.

She’d changed her clothing, simply because he’d destroyed her dress.

What he didn’t expect, and to his pleasure, and surprise, she was still wearing his t-shirt. She tied it in a knot under her breasts, baring her belly, and paired it with low rise jeans. The sparkly belly button piercing had his focus.

Why?

He knew what was hiding in her jeans.

Speaking of those form fitting pants, they hugged her body, and made his mouth water.
