Page 13 of A Secret Message

Vixen went around the counter and showed him her laptop. "My assistant and I may have solved the mystery surrounding Pedro Martinez's disappearance..."

Rule struggled to concentrate as she explained to him how she and Juno had solved the clues Martinez had provided to his whereabouts. All his mind cared about, however, was something else entirely.

She wasnothitting on him.

She might not even be attracted to him.

And that wasnota good thing...since Rule had just realized how much he wanted her to be a part of his life.

"Rule?"

Vixen was looking at him expectantly.

"Are you ready?"

He nodded despite not being sure what he was supposed to be ready for.

"Here we go..."

Vixen hit the right arrow key just once, and a message balloon immediately popped up.

Congratulations. You found me. What can I do for you?
