police captain. Uncle Chip, he's not really
my uncle but we're so close I call him that, is a higher-up on the
other side of the law. He would have been my father-in-law if things
had worked out differently. I do 'special projects' for both. Between
the two of them, I'm pretty well covered. Speaking of covered, why am
I lying here naked? Payback?”
    “I
guess I could look to see if my sister keeps any of her clothes here.
I've been kind of enjoying the view though,” he said as he
lifted up the sheet for a peek.
    She slapped
his hand away.
    “How
am I going to explain you to my folks?” he asked.
    Danny
spent the remainder of his vacation time nursing her back to health.
His parents were quite used to odd things occurring in his life and
were most accepting of Renée. The young pair became better
acquainted during that time and were becoming inseparable, although
not yet intimate. When he returned to Arizona, she followed.
    “Are
you sure your boss won't get upset about my being here?” asked
Renée.
    “What's
there to get upset about? You let her live, you've never been
positively linked to any of the deaths, there are no warrants for
your arrest, and you have me vouching for you. I've already given her
the heads-up about it, and she didn't make any derogatory comments.”
    “Well,
I did make her look bad in front of you, and I did leave her cuffed
and semi-conscious on the floor. We girls don't easily forgive that
sort of thing.”
    “Don't
worry about it. I'll bring her around to being your best friend,”
he said confidently.
    “I'd
settle for just friends right now. I don't have any girl friends
anymore. Life is all about balance: good and bad, male and female,
love and hate. Would you believe that I used to teach Sunday school?”
asked Renée.
    “I
would never have guessed that, but now that you mention it, I can
imagine it. Do you want to do that again, or are you planning to
resume your quest for revenge?”
    “Why
can't I do both?”
    “Wouldn't
that be a bit contradictory?”
    “Not
really. In a way, both things are doing God's work, because I make
the world a better place with each killing. I've never harmed anyone
you would call an innocent. Have you?”
    “I've
done a few things I'm less than proud of,” he confessed.
    “When
you did black ops?”
    “How
did you know about that?” he asked, startled.
    “I
have my sources. I did say I'd done my homework on you, Danny”
    “What
are your plans once you've finished with your list? You indicated you
still plan to do that.”
    “Would
you prefer I just stay here with you and resume teaching Sunday
school? And would you be assuming I'd be doing the cooking and
cleaning? And why should I be the one to move, assuming we even
hook-up? You could come to New York.”
    “I'm
not the Manhattan-type,” he said. “All that glitz would
drive me crazy.”
    “Things
aren't always what they seem, Mr. Detective. I admit I'm into
occasional deception. I don't actually live in Manhattan. That's just
a mail-drop for me. The address you found is really Uncle Chip's. He
was out of town when I stopped by to pick up my mail and those two
rookie cops showed up and chased me. Otherwise, there would have been
a few goons standing guard. Being who he is, his place is almost
impenetrable. Even the windows are bullet-proof. He's so high up in
the organization that he's not only a made-man, he's the one others
go to to become made-men.”
    “Really?
Are you sure you're not exaggerating just a bit, Renée?”
    “Fair
question since I just told you I can be deceptive, but yes I'm sure.
This is one thing you can trust me on. In fact, in your case, you can
trust me on 'everything', sweetheart.” She moved close and
looked him right in the eye as she made that declaration. “Is
that going to be working both ways, Danny?”
    “Absolutely,
I swear it.” He pulled her close and they sealed their oath
with an intense, intimate first kiss.
    “So
where do you
