her weapon went skittering along the ground. Moira hustled to her feet, jumping up and closing the distance between them. She didn’t move fast enough. Alicia leapt up and took a boxer’s stance with her fists raised. They circled each other.
    “I can’t tell you how much fun I had watching a dick run.” Alicia’s sneered.
    “The correct term is private investigator. Did anyone ever tell you your jokes suck? Hell, no wonder the man took his life. I would too if it meant avoiding the sound of your voice.” Moira shook her head.
    Alicia charged, catching Moira around the shoulders with an arm. They hit the ground. A whoosh of air escaped Moira. She embraced the ache that developed between her shoulder blades and swallowed back the yelp. They rolled with Alicia striking blows to her ribs. With Alicia’s heavier body mass, Moira was able to land on top and block the new hits aimed at her. She raised her own fists and landed a couple shots of her own to Alicia’s neck and chest.

    Kever watched from the thicket of scrub pine and ferns, quietly grunting in frustration. He dropped his arm, his feet were sinking in the muck and he glanced around to make sure the snakes were keeping a wide berth to his position. His crossbow was locked and loaded but every time he took aim Moira shifted and got in the way. “Come on, sugar…move.” He lifted his arm and lined up his sights again.

    Moira aimed for the bitch’s eyes. If her attacker wanted a brawl, Moira would give her one. Then she would go in search of Kever and if that fool was hurt she’d kick his ass too for making her worry. Moira grazed her fist against Alicia’s forehead. Alicia began to buck wildly trying to throw Moira off. Moira wrapped her fingers around the woman’s throat and began to squeeze. Alicia’s eyes bulged. She got her arms between Moira’s and broke the hold then clipped Moira in the chin with the heel of her hand. Moira fell to the side and Alicia struggled to rise, staggering to her feet. Moira glanced up as the shadow dropped across her. Ready to roll out of the way if the heifer decided to use her feet, a whistle whined through the air and Alicia went still.
    Alicia dropped to her knees. Another hum reached Moira’s ears and Alicia’s body jerked, bowing out before falling facedown. Two arrows appeared embedded deep in her back, one in the center of her lower spine and the other, a few centimeters left to the middle of her shoulder. Moira rose to her knees, crawled over and pressed two fingers to Alicia’s neck and felt nothing.
    She heard a rustling and lifted a hand to cover her eyes as she peered in the direction of the sound. Kever trudged out of the foliage, a crossbow held loosely in his grasp. Moira leaned back on her haunches and watched him as he approached her. She labored to her feet and waited for him. The drone of a helicopter could be heard in the distance.
    Kever stopped in front of her, wobbled for a moment then graced her with a crooked smile. “Why am I constantly saving that luscious ass, Ms. Blackstone?”
    She smirked, sighing in relief. “Took you long enough this time,” Moira complained. Pressing a hand to her side she started toeing clumps of grass. “Might I add you look like shit.”
    He grunted. “This coming from a woman that was getting whipped in a fist fight. What are you doing?” He motioned to her feet.
    “Looking for my phone. It was all in the plan. Let crazy chick think she was winning and then bam, throw her off with a quick one, two combination.” She waved her hands in the air for emphasis. “I was worried about you,” Moira grumbled.
    “What? Sorry, didn’t hear that? Will you stop and look at me?” He grabbed her by the bicep.
    She kept her head down, staring at the brown and green tufts of vegetation. Moira blinked several times to hold back the tears and swallowed.
    “Hey, I’m good. You’re okay. Cher, that’s all that matters.” He tugged her into his
