Chapter Seven We needed to cover three city blocks in fifteen minutes, across unfamiliar territory with a squad of armed goons chasing us. Nothing more than a regular walk in the park. The SUV had been slowed by our detour, but it was still out there, somewhere. A rumbling diesel engine scratched at the edge of my senses, patrolling, hunting. There would be others, too.

To have any chance of outmaneuvering our pursuers, we needed more cover. A restaurant came into view, opening for the early lunch crowd. I ducked inside with Teach in my wake. “Do you know where you’re going?” he asked, frowning at my actions.
