old desk I keep for writing when I notice that a drawer is slightly open.
With trembling fingers, I search the contents, afraid to see the truth. How could I have been so stupid? I can only blame myself. I was so occupied with Kendall that I did only a superficial testing of Maveth’s pulse. The assassin must have faked his death.
The realization is almost painful.
Up until this point, I’d entertained the idea that another assassin discovered my hiding place, waited until I had left, and took Maveth’s body. At least in that event, no one would be aware of Kendall’s name or face.
My gut is telling me that I’ve been had.
The drawer is clean. I slam it shut and kneel to analyze the floor around the desk. A piece of paper lies innocently on the ground. It’s so out of place in the room that for a minute, I just stare at it.
Eventually, I pick it up. The sheet is flimsy in my hands. I bring it to my nose and sniff. It reeks of nightlock. With growing fear, my eyes peruse the page. There is only one word on the white surface.

THIS IS NOW
Chapter 1
Kendall
One week ago, the only thing I worried about was getting through Valentine’s Day without curling into a fetal position while hugging a package of Oreos.
Ah, those were the days.
Life changed drastically when Lula, my Isuzu Trooper, broke down one morning when I really, really needed her to work. Then again, it could be the meat pie splotch I was rocking that did the real changing.
I guess it was a group effort. Together, the chain of unfortunate circumstances led to me sharing an elevator with Alistair Howard.
I, obviously (meat-pie-face and all), made an impression. He (GQ-magazine-ready-face and all) did a number on me. We went out on one date. One . It was all it took for my entire world to turn completely upside down.
Here’s just a little summary.
1. We were attacked by Maveth, Alistair’s crazy ex-rival.
2. I intentionally rammed my truck into said rival.
3. Alistair and I (but mostly Alistair) kidnapped Maveth and took him to a secret training room in a well.
4. Maveth unloaded a bunch of secrets and then killed himself.
5. Maveth actually faked his death and now he wants to kill me. Well, and Alistair too.
Did I forget to mention? Alistair is an assassin.
See! Total craziness! This is why I don’t date!
Things moved quickly after the revelation that Maveth was still alive. Alistair insisted that I collect all my vacation days from La Ruba and flee the country immediately. It was no longer safe to stay at home. Rooming with anyone else would put them in jeopardy too.
Fortunately, I had an opportunity to leave without spending a dime. My cousin Charlie has ties with Dust and Ashes , a famous reggae band. Alistair brought her into the fold and told
