"I'll be there as soon as I can."

I hung up instantly and turned around to find Corinne already perched on my bike.

"I don't have time for this."

Corinne nodded. "Sounded urgent. I wonder how much time you would waste trying to get me off this bike when you could be already on your way. I won't go easily, you know."

This girl was turning into a serious pain in my ass. She was right. I didn't have time to pry her loose from the bike. I'd already seen how she could cling onto a tree branch, and it was impressive. Joseph and the rest of War Cry needed me, not to mention Fiona. Clients like her were hard to come by.

"You'll do as you’re told?" I asked, as I strode over and swung into the seat.

"Probably not. I don't usually." I could hear the giddy excitement in her voice. God save me from wannabe bad girls. She was going to get a lesson in reality before the night was out.

"Hold onto me tight." This time, at least, she did as she was told.
