Tawny Taylor Carpe Nocturne 2: Kiss Me, Kill Me - 15 <br />
fought over by not one but two absolutely gorgeous men. And then some chick who<br />
looked like Anna in Van Helsing stuck a knife to your throat and dragged you off.” Her<br />
voice rose with every word she spoke until she was shouting and practically shaking as<br />
bad as Lulu. “I’ve been worried to death!”<br />
Sylvie had never seen Lisa so hysterical. Hysterical friends were absolutely no<br />
help. “Listen, I realize things are kind of crazy right now but I need you to keep it<br />
together. For both of us. Okay?” When Lisa responded with a nod, she asked, “Did you<br />
go to my house last night?”<br />
“No. I was going to but then the police told me they’d handle it --”<br />
“The police? You went to the police?”<br />
“I talked to the undercover cops who were at the bar when you got kidnapped.<br />
That good looking one who’d bought --”<br />
“Shit!” Sylvie shouted. The noise made Lulu twitch in Lisa’s arms. She peered<br />
out the front door’s peephole. So far there wasn’t a fleet of unmarked Ex-co-whatever<br />
police cars crowding the driveway, but she knew chances were good Miko would head<br />
to Lisa’s after losing them outside of Burke’s apartment complex. “Shit, shit, shit! Please<br />
tell me they didn’t take your address.”<br />
“Um… Yeah. They did. Why? Don’t police officers usually take someone’s<br />
personal information when they report a kidnapping?”<br />
“Gotta go. Will you do me a favor and keep an eye on Lulu for a few days?”<br />
“Uh, sure, but --”<br />
“And the bar. Will you call the detective on this card and ask him if it’s okay to<br />
open the bar?” She unzipped her purse, pulled the detective’s card from her wallet and<br />
handed it to her friend. “And whatever you do, don’t talk to those other policemen<br />
again. They’re not real police.”<br />
Lisa glanced down at the card Sylvie had handed her. “But what about --”<br />
“I’ll get in touch with you as soon as I can. Thanks.” She gave Lisa a quick hug<br />
and pulled open the door.<br />
She stopped dead in her tracks. Miko was standing on the front porch.
