Peacemaker (The Flash Gold Chronicles, #3) - Plot & Excerpts
The door opening? She’d locked it. Her Winchester leaned against the end of the workbench, more than an arm’s length away, but she had a number of booby trap triggers within reach. No reason to panic yet. She grabbed a rag, as if she had no inkling that someone might be around, and used the motion to hide her free hand slipping into a drawer. She pulled out one of her latest prototypes, a hand-sized crossbow with bolts that packed a charge. Calmly, she turned around and pointed the weapon at the door. Somerset leaned there. His eyebrows rose when he spotted the miniature crossbow, but he merely said, “You have deft hands,” and nodded to the workbench. “The front door was locked,” Kali said. Not only had it been locked, but she’d designed the bolt herself after her ex-fiancé had proven apt at picking the one that came with the shop. “I noticed. Don’t you find that drives away business?” Kali glowered at him. If she had Cedar’s height and muscles, it might have cowed him, but he did not seem to find her five feet four inches imposing.
