章節 42: Chapter 42

Nathan knew better than to stare, but the reflection in the glass worked well in his favor. “Must have been scary.” he said. “You, just trying to do your job, which you work so hard at, and then some guy comes in waving a gun around.”

There was the slightest blush creeping into the girl’s cheeks. “He’s the last guy you would have expected it from, either. In fact…no, I…I really shouldn’t say anything.” She stood back up and crossed her arms over her chest.

Nathan was losing her. He tried to think of something else but, before he could say anything, a familiar voice interrupted them.

Nathan tensed at the endearment, and tensed further when Sasha slipped up behind him and hooked an arm snugly around his waist.

“Were you two talking about the whole murder thing? Crazy, right?” Sasha said. His attention was focused on the girl behind the counter, who dropped her arms and stared at them.
