someone to be here twenty-four hours a day."
Knox chewed on his bottom lip. He didn't have the staff to help this woman right now, but he couldn't turn her away either. He had two choices. He could pull Rock off of the Rachel case and send him over there, or he could refer her to one of his competitors. None of them were as good as his company, but they were good enough to handle a simple bodyguard case.
Or. Knox thought furiously. It had been years since he'd been in the field. Most of his work was conducted from behind this desk these days. Last week, when he'd helped out Hawk and Craig, had really made him realize how much he missed the hands-on part of the work. Maybe that was the source of the restlessness he'd been feeling lately.
Before he realized he had made his decision he heard himself speaking.
"Give me your address."

Mica
Mica watched out her window, her body fairly calm and relaxed, now that she had someone coming over to help her. She wondered who it would be. She'd been surprised and almost panicked when Knox Rosesson himself had answered the phone on a Saturday morning. Maybe it was one of his brothers , an unruly voice in her mind whispered. Mica slanted her lips in a frown. She didn't think so. There was no mistaking that low, growly voice, even though she hadn't heard it for years. She hoped that Mr. Rosesson sent just a normal guard and not one of his brothers. She knew two of them worked for him but she didn't want to deal with either of them.
A large, black, double-cab pickup truck pulled up in front of her townhome and stopped. Mica watched it curiously. A truck like that would be murder to park in San Francisco. She watched it sit there, imagining the driver looking up and down the road for a parking spot. She couldn't see any from her vantage point. She wondered if this was her bodyguard.
The truck pulled forward and disappeared from her sight. Mica sighed and continued her watch. She didn't expect someone for at least another ten minutes, but if traffic was light and he was quick, he could be there soon. She would feel better when someone was on her case. Someone big and mean-looking, with a gun. Maybe two guns. She hoped Bailey would see she wasn't just going to let him terrorize her and then maybe he would go away.
What if he does go away? What if you hire a bodyguard for a month and you don't hear a peep from him? Then what? Do you think he's just going to give up?
Anxiety welled up inside Mica at the thought. She pushed it away. She would deal with that when she came to it. Right now she just didn't want to feel scared out of her mind anymore.
A buzz in Mica's kitchen sounded. Her muffin. She'd popped a frozen muffin into the oven, hoping to entice herself to eat something. She ran in and pulled it out, placing it on the counter to cool for a moment. Mica eyed the gun safe next to her coffee pot. She had moved it out to the kitchen and put the gun back in it. She couldn't stand the thought of having the gun just laying out on the counter or on a table. It wasn't right.
The door buzzer sounded, startling Mica out of her thoughts. She jumped slightly and felt her heart pick up speed. This had to be her bodyguard.
Mica walked swiftly to her door to press the button that would allow her to speak to whoever it was. Her finger hovered an inch above it. She didn't want to go by someone's voice. She wanted to see him. Maybe ask him to hold up his identification before she let him into her building. Mica knew paranoia was getting the better of her but she didn't care. Just like everything else, she'd deal with it later.
Mica pressed her eye to her peephole and looked out. The hallway stood seemingly empty. The buzzer sounded again. Slowly, she moved the chair from in front of the door and stretched her hand out to turn the knob. She would go downstairs where she could see whoever was at the door.
Mica grabbed her keys from next to the door, suddenly sick to her stomach
