The Naked Beat

Rebecca rose up to look at me. "Is Blaze really dead?"

I nodded. "Her father said she overdosed."

"In the hospital?" she asked incredulously.

"Yeah. Someone got to her in there. And I can give you three guesses who."

She raised an eyebrow, "And all three answers are Jade Chen, right?"

"Bingo. The lady wins a bucket of fried rice."

I got out of bed and started getting dressed.

"Look, baby, I'll try to get back as soon as I can. I have to help this man if I can."

She smiled, "I understand. Be careful, huh?"

"Always, beautiful. Always."
