He chuckled. “My employer is kind enough to provide me with diplomatic plates.”
The bad-boy mischief in his eyes made her laugh. “Always making sure that back door is open. Kind, indeed.”
“Shall I walk you in?”
“What? Oh, no. Thanks. I can manage.” Hesitating until she regained her land legs, she opened the door, stepped out then rummaged behind the seat for her cases.
He climbed out, studying her across the car’s shiny roof. “Despite the matchmaking, it was nice to see you again, Kylie. The last girl left fingernail marks in the leather armrest.”
“Takes a lot to shake me up.” It was nice to see him, too. He was just the sort of fun spirit who made a great companion. Too bad she had duties awaiting her on another planet, and he worked here.
“I, ah, travel for business,” he said. “I might find myself on Andan in the next lunar phase.”
“Is that so?” A flush of pleasure warmed her face.
“Can I stop and take you to dinner? Not because the Colonel suggested it. Because I want to.” The warmth of his smile went right through to his laughing eyes.
“Sure. I may be tied up with a case, but let’s see.”

“Can’t imagine anyone would pull over a member of the SIRT team. Win-win.” He winked. “Have a good flight.”
“Thanks. And thanks for not being put off by my father.”
“Had one like him. Not to worry.” He waited for her to step onto the curb before sliding back into the driver’s seat. He purred away from the spaceport, and a large black van took his place, discharged its passengers. After Cary’s car disappeared into the distance, she entered the spaceport, her mind already separating her from her family. Perhaps her father had intended to sidetrack her ambitions, but he’d failed.
You failed, old man.
Keep that in mind.
Now she had an investigation to conduct and an interrogation to plan, and plenty of new ideas. And she’d bet Jaco wouldn’t like any of them.
