Chapter 13: Done

The heat hit me.

It was a hundred and six at a quarter past seven, and the parking lot smelled like hot tar and somebody's cigar.

I got as far as my car.

My keys wouldn't go in the door. My hand was shaking too hard to find the slot.

Behind me the brass door banged open.

"Sparky. Wait."

Breck came across the lot at a jog, which I'd never seen him do. Rand was right behind him with his jacket over his arm.

I got the key in.

"Codi, please." Breck put his hand flat on my roof, not on me. "Just give us one minute."

"You had one minute," I said. "You had it in there."

He flinched.

Rand stopped a few feet back, by the bumper.

"He asked us to let him handle it," he said.

"He asked me too." I turned around. "And I let him. I stood at that bar like a good girl and I let him."

Breck's face had gone blotchy under the beard.

"I thought he had a play," he said. "I thought any second he'd turn it around."

"He did turn it around. He turned it right around on me."
