“And that’s when they shot at us and we took off and called Ally.”
No verbal comment, but a muscle jerked in Lee’s cheek.
I didn’t take this as a good sign.
Probably, he wasn’t so happy I involved his sister in this mess.
Probably, he was equally unhappy that I’d involved him in this mess.
“What is it?” Lee asked.
“I can’t say.”
“If you don’t say, I’ll let him loose.”
I shook my head. “He’s pretty adamant that no one knows.”
“I’ll escort him out of the building myself.”
I looked back in the living room. Rosie was peering around the corner, eavesdropping.
I let out another heavy sigh. “Maybe we should go, get a hotel room.”
Rosie looked pleased at this announcement.
We only had a few hours to wait. Denver was a big city. It’d take longer than a few hours to find us.
“I didn’t say I’d letyouloose. I said I’d lethimloose.”
This announcement gave me a start and I turned to Lee.
“What?”
No answer.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
Still no answer.
“What are you gonna do with me?” I kept trying.
“You tell me what this is about, nothing.”
“And if I don’t tell you?”
“I haven’t decided.”
“Lee!”
Lee’s patience ran out. He grabbed my arm, pointed at Rosie and said, “You move, you’ll regret it,” in a way that I figured Rosie would do a statue impersonation until he saw Lee again.
Then Lee yanked me into the bedroom, hit the light switch and closed the door behind us.
“Ow! You’re hurting me!” I pulled my arm free.
“I should turn you over my knee,” he snapped.
My mouth dropped open for a moment, then my eyes narrowed. “What did you just say?”
