Destined (2013)
“Her hands were shackled together, and she was in a minute cell barely big enough for her to pace her own body length. “What the hell?”
The department head stood in front of her cell door. “It would have been easier for you if you had not refused to pay, painter.”
She winced and touched her eye. “I didn’t refuse to pay.”
He scowled. “You refused to pay the officer this time.”
Rhoda shook her head, watching his posture go from smug to aggressive. “I didn’t refuse the officer. The Guardian that wa...s in my home refused to allow me to pay and sent your officer on his way.”
“What Guardian?”
“Charm.”
Uncertainty changed his posture again. “Charm was in your home? Why?”
“Because I was involved in a hostage situation yesterday. I had been injured, and he was coming to check on me.” It would be easy enough for him to confirm that she had indeed run into the Guardians the day before. “He took offense to your officer’s suggestion that I should pay to remain in my own home as a participating part of Yacaro society.”MoreLess
