“Bollocks,” he muttered, knowing his team would never let him live this one down.

It was early morning before the police officer opened the cell door. The woman Mercer attempted to rescue finally managed to give her statement to the officers. And although they were still suspicious of a British citizen running through the streets with a Sig Sauer, Julian had the proper paperwork and documentation, so they couldn’t hold him on anything.
After collecting his belongings and being given numerous stern looks by everyone in the squad room, Mercer was free to go. As soon as he stepped outside, he spotted the woman from last night. In the morning sunlight, he realized she couldn’t be older than twenty-five.
She gave him a grim smile. “I’m sorry you were arrested,” she muttered. “After everything that happened, I saw the gun and thought they came back to finish the job.”
Something about the woman piqued his interest. This was new. Different. And obviously dangerous. It could be fun.
“Who?” he asked. She hesitated, watching him pensively, not trusting the man who had so conveniently shown up to help. Mercer dug through his wallet and pulled out his business card, handing it to her. “Maybe I can offer some assistance.”
She read the card and then looked up at him. “Personal security specialist?” Considering her options, she walked away without another word.
