“Oh.” I eyed the corner distractedly. “I keep meaning to pick that up, but I use it all so often that there doesn’t seem like much point.”
He shuddered. “Man, I don’t know how you keep throwing yourself out of planes and down mountainsides and stuff. That would freak me the fuck out. Aren’t you scared of dying or something?”
I should be so lucky. I bit back the words before they emerged. I didn’t want the guys I worked with to know I couldn’t find much to live for these days and needed a good jolt of adrenaline to get my kicks. That’d get me suspended on psych leave, or worse, fired. I could hardly handle two days of jury duty, never mind a life of leisure with no wages to fund my need for extreme sports.
Rick turned and looked me up and down. “Nice. I love the way the Kevlar brings out your eyes.”
“Thanks.” I rolled my eyes and adjusted the vest below my black shirt. Said shirt was the loosest piece of what could pass as clubwear I owned, but to a trained eye like Rick’s, the body armour was easy to spot. Luckily, I wasn’t trying too hard to pass myself off as a civilian—I was only covering up the vest to avoid freaking out the rest of the club’s patrons. It wasn’t a sexy look, but it was functional. “Remind me where this club is, again?”
“Just off Miller Street.” Rick switched to businesslike, heading for the door, and I followed, locking up behind us. “I’ll drive.”
“And you’re sure it’s an invitation-only night?”
“Positive. While you were sitting around taking it easy on jury duty, we were vetting the guest list and checking out the venue. You’re gonna love it.”
Judging by the grin on his face, I wasn’t too sure about that.
I slid into the passenger seat and buckled up, waiting for Rick to do the same on the driver’s side before continuing the conversation. “So why is he having a business meeting in a nightclub anyway? He’s only got one more night until the big meeting that’s put his life in danger to start with. Wouldn’t he be safer waiting until this is all over?”
