Rogue Angel 51: The Pretender's Gambit - Plot & Excerpts
She landed hard and rolled, hoping that the distance was enough to give pause to the men following at her heels like hounds on a scent. She protected the elephant in her cupped right hand and rolled on her left shoulder, coming dangerously close to the two-story drop.

If she’d thought they were still gunning for her, she would have dived from the shop rooftops and taken her chances on the ground.
