In Good Company 4
She was not actually just there for bacon and sex. Once they were showered and she had slipped into a shirt he had loaned her (Her clothes were a hopeless cause. “It would fit you like a dress,”–It did.) she took on the look of someone with very bad business to conduct. She sat on the side of the bed and watched him get dressed as if waiting for him to be sufficiently attired to also discuss business.
He found himself wanting to dress very slowly.
“What happens to Madeline Dupree?”
Oh. That. “There’s a….let’s call it a retreat, isolated. Secure. Away from other people. She won’t be able to leave, but she has to….”
She winced. “Why does it sound like a farm upstate with plenty of room to run around?”
He was shocked at first and then reconsidered what he was saying. “Maybe. We’re humane. We know how to deal with a rogue were.”
“How secure is secure?”
“She won’t escape.”
She motioned him to sit by her on the edge of the bed, “I need you to understand she has killed before she got here. And when I talked to her, I got the sense that this was not a were problem. Not entirely. ” (snip-this is a great piece, go read it!)
