Chapter 11: Gasoline
Dominic took a step back.
"No," he said.
Mae didn't blink. "I'm old, Alpha. I'm not blind."
"There are a hundred blonde women at this summit."
"In a white coat? In July?"
Dominic's mouth opened.
Nothing came out.
He turned and walked out of the alley.
His warriors went after him.
"Where's he going?" I asked.
"Back to her," Rhett said.
They kept Mae overnight at the county hospital.
Second-degree burns on both shins. Smoke in her lungs.
She told the nurse she'd be home by lunch to make biscuits.
I sat beside her bed until she fell asleep.
Then I sat in the hallway until the sun came up.
Rhett brought me a coffee from the gas station.
It was terrible.
I drank all of it.
"The fire marshal found the can," he said, sitting down beside me. "In the dumpster behind the hardware store."
"Prints?"
"Wiped."
Of course.
"The Ironclaw delegation's staying at the Magnolia Inn," I said. "They have breakfast at eight in the dining room. Every morning."
