We just-"    "O-okay, listen, I-I'll tell you the whole story. Everything. But I swear, I never did anything to her. Nobody did. Not on my watch, anyway. I took real good care of her. I swear. You gotta believe me!"    Nic's pulse quickened. He took a step closer and cocked a brow at the stocky man, "Who her?"    "Y-you know-your girl."    "My girl?"    "Y-yeah. You know...petite, brunette, pretty.

He lifted his chin at the stocky man, "So what are you talking about? 'Your watch'. 'Took care of her'. Where? When?"    "Come on, you know..." The tattooed man looked from Nic over to Robert, as if he expected a more reasonable interrogator-a Good Cop to Nic's Bad.    But Nic insisted, "Humor me."    "Well, uh, well..."    Nic took another step.    The tattooed man gulped and started talking, "Yeah, okay.

From that night last summer when I pulled her off the stool. I mean, I didn't know who she really was. I just thought she was your date, your girl or whatever, okay? I didn't know she was like...one of you."
