Neither moved.
Okay, someone was paranoid—more than him.
“Really. Chill out.”
Both women put their fingers on the trigger.

Monday
Five P.M.
Inside The Underground
It had been a slow afternoon, and at one point, Remington had thought about going back to Chartres to wait for Calyx there.
The place was slow, and the same five people were sitting in the bar, drinking.

Two of the men who had been sitting there looked around, and decided to follow her out.
He was pretty sure that had been what they were doing, and that set the hair on the back of his neck to standing up.
