a breath and sucked her into his lungs. As crazy as it seemed, it calmed him. “She’s a little fool.”
“She’s a challenge,” Liz admitted.
Sawyer laughed despite himself. “Paper-training a new puppy is a challenge.”
Liz smiled at him, and he thought the world tilted just a bit.
“I’ll talk to her,” Liz said.
“How? Isn’t she being referred on?”
Liz glanced over her shoulder, as if making sure no one was close by. “I’m going to keep seeing her. She needs me.”
“Your boss is closing shop.”
“I know. Carmen and I already discussed it. We’ll see clients at my apartment.”
Calm disappeared. “Are you nuts?”
She lifted her chin in the air.
He pointed a finger at her. “You received a threat. Which may or may not have anything to do with the shooting. Which may or may not have anything to do with today’s bomb. Which may or may not have anything to do with Mirandez or Mary or the man in the moon. What the hell are you thinking?”
“I have to take the chance.”
She’d spoken so quietly that Sawyer had to lean forward to hear her. “Why?” The woman had a damn death wish.
“I just have to,” she said.
Was it desperation or determination that he heard in her tone? All he knew for sure was that nothing he could say was going to change her mind. “When? When are you starting this?” he asked.
“Mary’s coming to see me tomorrow.”
Great. That gave him twenty-four hours to figure out how to save them both.
