“I want to keep the I’m out of town cover,” she smile hating this. Her current boyfriend. “Yeah, it would be good to know who and how,” she continued. 

She doubted Tom and his friends would have found her that quick. That meant the cops or a different group was either trying to hire them or the thumb drive was more important to someone other than their employer. They could make two copies. She had her laptop. 

She took two cups out of her bad, a bottle of water and instant coffee. She put bags of coffee in the cup poured in the water and started it boiling with a little spell. She walked over and picked up the gun and slid it back into the holster. She half expected him to give her crap for not grabbing the ammo. It had 5 rounds in the clip. Unlike Rohaan who could spit fire, grow claws, and bash skulls, she did not have those abilities. Also combat casting wasn’t her strong suite. So she would mind the gun that could to stop a fellow mage. 

“Coffee first, if it is my family, don’t kill them,” she said. He helper disappeared as the sun rose having ate the rest of her cold pizza.
