for the weekend. Long enough for Rik to work his connections and figure out what’s going on. Because something is going on. Your cell phone was hacked to use the camera to spy on you.”
    “I don’t understand…someone’s beenwatching me?”  
    Drew didn’t blame Annie for looking at him like he was certifiable. He needed to work on his sales pitch, although he hoped he’d never have this conversation again.  
    “Drew, this is insane. You can’t...Hell, I don’t even know what your plan is, but we’re not getting on a plane and running away.”
    “We’re not running away.”
    “Then what are we doing? We need to get to the bottom ofthis!”
    “Sugar, that’s not what I do.”
    “It’s what I do!”
    He gave her his best hairy side-eye.
    “I’m a researcher.”
    “You’re a historian.”
    She pursed her lips and sniffed sharply. “Look, before we go all random commando, maybe we should just do a little more digging—”
    “You’re not an investigative reporter or a federal agent.” He held up his hand. “I’m not saying that you shouldn’t be involvedin sorting this shit out, but staying here runs contrary to what I do.”
    “Which is what?”
    “I keep you safe, sugar. With my life, if it comes down to it.”  
    “That’s really not—” This time, Annie cut herself off. The blood drained from her face and he felt the air around them still as she froze for a second, then leapt up. Without looking over his shoulder, he snatched his backpack and followedher as she ran through the kitchen past a surprised line cook. “Back door?” she yelled at the man flipping eggs, and he pointed to her right.  
    Drew managed to grab her arm just before she launched herself out the door. “Annie!”
    She spun around, landing hard against his chest. Her words spilled out in a breathless rush. “Two guys in suits talking to a cop at the front of the diner. I can’t becertain, but I think I saw them on campus yesterday. Might be nothing, but now I’m okay with fleeing.”
    “Really?”
    “Who knows?” Panic edged into her voice.  
    “I do. Let me go first.” He cracked the door, grateful to see it emptied onto a side street, not an alley. Across the way was a clothing shop, and down the block sat an idling cab. “Come on.”
    He grabbed her hand and they took off for thetaxi. He resisted the urge to just pick her up and sprint. Behind them, the door slammed shut, and he didn’t hear it open again before they reached the car. He whipped open the door, surprising the driver mid-bite. “Sorry to interrupt your breakfast, bub, but I’ll make it worth your while. Go in any direction.”  
    The man hesitated, and Drew was tempted to pull out a gun, but knew a fifty wouldbe more convincing—and less likely to get him arrested. Annie gasped beside him as he dug out his wallet, and a quick glance over his shoulder told him they had company. He flipped two bills over the front seat. “Take us ten blocks away from here and pretend you dropped us somewhere else, okay?”
    The car jerked forward, turned right, and headed east for a few blocks before turning suddenly intoa parking garage. “There’s a stand of cabs up one level, in front of a hotel side entrance.”
    Drew clapped the driver on the shoulder and muttered a quick thanks under his breath. They tumbled out and ran for the stairs, not stopping until they were secure in another backseat, this time heading to a small airstrip northeast of the city. Annie glanced at him nervously when he gave that directionto the driver, but Drew just eased back on the seat and pulled her close against him. She gasped almost inaudibly but didn’t resist the tug. He laced one hand into her hair, ignoring how the slide of the dark brown strands against his fingers made his dick take notice, and brushed his lips against her ear. He kept his voice low, a whisper just for her. “This’ll be easier if we act like we’re ona spontaneous weekend getaway.”
    She
