“I guess. But, there’s also the chance he’ll wrap you up and ship you right back to Hendricks, too.”

Excitement effectively extinguished, Beatrice let out a groan. “Why? Why must they be so… so…”

Claire gave a slow nod. “I get that. Well, look, I have a shift tonight, starting in half an hour, actually, and I’ll see what I can set up for you
