TANSY
THE LARGE, GOTHIC REVIVAL building towered overhead, blocking
out the early afternoon sun. It might not be the tallest building in the city,
but with its steepled roofs, pointed arch elements, and excess of decorative
trim, it was the most imposing. The sounds of Darlington’s streets seemed
to disappear as I stepped into the shadow of the building.
I looked down at the address I’d scrawled on the lipstick-smudged café
napkin. Yup. This was the place. It was a far cry from the dingy motel room
I’d left this morning.
This was a horrible idea. This place looked expensive, and I’d probably be
laughed out of the office. I fingered the strap around my neck. The pouch
held all the pieces of expensive jewelry I owned; they were the only things
of value I had. They had to be enough.
I could always offer to work off my debt—that was my backup plan—but
I’d probably be working it off forever, considering how ridiculously swanky
this place looked. If they could afford an office here, they must charge an
arm and a leg. I probably wasn’t the type of client they usually took on. I’d
bet they normally worked with the rich and famous.
But what other choice did I have? I was fresh out of options, and if I didn’t
do this, I might as well kiss my very existence goodbye.
“Here goes nothing.”
I stepped through the revolving doors to an ornately decorated foyer. There
were offices on the lower floors and luxury condos above. I checked the
map on the plaque set against the dark granite wall, looking for Redrock
Protective Services. They were on the ground floor.
I headed down the corridor to the office, pulling my wheeled luggage that
held my entire life behind me. I needed to be mobile, so I couldn’t bring
much, but this wasn’t my first rodeo. I’d had a lot less the first time I found
myself with no hope and no home. Life had taught me to keep everything
essential on my body, so if I had to ditch and run, I could.
Turning the corner, I came face-to-face with a huge mirror in a gold filigree
frame, and I stopped to check myself out. I looked out of place here in my
jeans and comfy, oversized hoodie, and I tried to ignore the feeling of being
woefully underdressed.
The woman in the mirror looked tired, like she hadn’t slept well in days.
Because she hadn’t.
“Hi, I’m Danie,” I said to her. There wasn’t anyone else in this part of the
building to witness me talking to myself. “I need your help.” That wasn’t
hard. “I’m Danie. I’m Danie. My name is Danie,” I repeated. I’d gone by
Danie for several months now, and it came out almost as naturally as my
real name. Almost.
“Squawk!”
