Her wounds were still healing, but that didn't matter. Myka had sustained worse injuries - it wouldn't be the first or last time that she got a little banged up on the job. The difference was that this time she wasn't protecting the President of the United States or ensuring national security. She probably wouldn't be doing either of those things

Was it his fault he wanted to grab a couple donuts for the road? Of course not Bering would understand. Probably. He hoped. Anyway, Pete waved a goodbye to Leena and hurried out of the house, then scrambled into the car.

"Sorry. Um. You want a donut?" He gave Myka a sheepish grin and offered her a donut wrapped in a napkin. Come on, it was hard to pass up free food, right? Maybe he'd get her to loosen up a little. Couldn't hurt, could it?

"So where are we going again?"

She didn't eat sugar. Even though she'd told Artie in Pete's presence, it hadn't seemed to register with either man. Maybe because she kept eating cookies anyway. Myka glared and snatched the donut from Pete's hand. "Oak Park, Illinois," she said, setting the napkin-wrapped donut on her lap as she started the car.

"Nice to see you were paying attention." Her voice was short as she began driving.

That was probably it, yes. And the face that she took the donut, too. "Oh, right," Pete replied, stretching out in the seat and getting himself comfy.

"I was totally paying attention!" He protested, giving Myka his best innocent look. "It's just early. And my coffee hasn't kicked in yet."

Myka rolled her eyes. This is what she'd given up Washington for.

...maybe she could call Dickinson and tell him she'd changed her mind. Her luck, the creepy Mrs. Frederick would deny her return.

"Can you at least help navigate without falling asleep?" She spoke like she was giving instructions to a child.
