The blue shoes in
her shoe bag were a shade off, but in the crowd she was likely to encounter, a
shade -- or even a few shades -- probably wouldn't matter much.
Choosing a small silver necklace from her travel kit, she put it on and
thought about wearing earrings, then passed on them as being unnecessary.
Not for the first time, the thought occurred to her that if her ears could
be pierced, she wouldn't have to wear those damned clip-ons that never seemed to
stay clipped on.
Stockings? No, she decided. Bare legs also make a kind of statement and they
usually got more looks. After adding a touch of lip gloss, she scooped up her
purse and key card and headed for the elevators.
Chapter Three
The extra cops from the roof arrived. Avery sent two down to the sidewalk
and had the other two continue gathering info from the people in the cafe.
One started to approach Cade, so he opened his field jacket to show the
Glock in its holster. The cop conferred with Avery for a moment, then headed
toward someone else as Cade got a coffee refill and returned to his table.
The image of the leggy blonde hopping over the taxi and launching into the
sky with it replayed in Cade's mind.
