means it’s me they’re after.”
“Why would they be after you?”
“Doesn’t really matter, does it? The outcome will be the same. For both of us.”
“I was warned not to contact you or the police.”
He stared outside again. “So why did you come to me, Kelly, and not the police?”
“The police wouldn’t be able to protect me, not against someone like Binelli. And they’d only have questions. You, on the other hand, have answers.”
“None you’ll like.” He pushed her back into the shadows next to the wall, out of harm’s way, then flicked off the automatic’s safety.
“Hell of a first night of vacation, don’t you think?” he added as he took up a position next to the window.
Nick watched the shadows of two men sweep past. He didn’t question the decision to take Kelly along, told himself it was because she just might be able to provide him with some of the answers he needed. But he knew better.
“How did you get here?” he asked.
“Boat.”
Nick eased forward and, as he watched, one of the men rolled around in a smooth, practiced motion and kicked in the door to the adjoining room. Furniture thudded and banged. Nick’s attention shot to the connecting door between the two rooms as a solid blow landed against it.
He checked back outside to where the second man stood guard. He needed him to follow his partner inside. Otherwise, they were as good as trapped.
Another kick landed against the connecting door. He could hear the jamb splinter.
“Be ready for anything,” Nick said between gritted teeth, but didn’t look in Kelly’s direction.
The chair under the knob exploded across the room.
The second man followed the first in.
Nick ripped the front door open, grabbed Kelly and shoved her outside ahead of him.
