CHAPTER 34 DAN DIDN’T DRIVE as fast as I would have, but on the plus side, she didn’t total my car and traffic was mercifully light, so we still made good time. On the way, I gave Nick a call to see what was happening at his end. “Have you sorted out the logistics?” “More or less. We found someone in the investigations division who looks enough like Luke that we could use him as a decoy, but Luke’s determined he’s doing the drop himself. He says he’s not taking any chances with Tia’s life.” “So he’d rather risk his own as well?” After his idiotic trip to the woods, why did that surprise me? “I can’t change his mind, and believe me, I’ve tried.” More than once, I’d seen Luke’s stubborn side. He’d be doing the drop whether we liked it or not. “Right, we’re on damage limitation, now.”
