A Dose of Murder
“What am I doing here?” Over Vance’s shoulder I could see Nick staring at me. When I turned away, I caught Jagger’s glare.
“What am I doing here?”
Vance looked annoyed. I’ve seen that look many times, so it didn’t take any special skills to read his body language. “Yes, Pauline. You’re acting weird. What are you doing here?”
