Catherine Nelson - Zoe Grey 02 - The Trouble With Theft - Plot & Excerpts
Before leaving the gym, I’d run through a quick shower and swiped on some makeup. From an early age, my mother had instilled the importance of such vain pursuits as makeup, hairspray, push-up bras, and control-top pantyhose. I’d given up most of that as a gesture of rebellion, but I still can’t bring myself to go out in public without mascara. Even if I’m in a hurry and have so many facial injuries a little mascara won’t even be noticed. My hair was still wet, my eye and lip were noticeably swollen, I was still red from the pepper spray, and I didn’t have any clean bandages to put on my neck, which was horribly bruised. But my lip was no longer bleeding, and I had on clean clothes. Not the best first impression ever. All for a lousy three hundred bucks and the preservation of my reputation. I hustled through the parking lot and blew by the little girl who hurried over to hold the door open for me. Ellmann’s size makes him difficult to overlook; I spotted him immediately at a table to the left.
