The loud ring of Leira’s cell phone broke through her deep sleep. She groaned, rolled over in the bed and slapped at the nightstand. Correk stirred in his sleep and swatted at the air. “Yumfuck, those are mine,” he muttered, his face pressed into the pillow.

Leira swallowed, balancing on one foot and leaning against the kitchen counter. “Yeah, just stumbling around in the dark. Hit a few domestic land mines.”
“I have a tip for you that should make you feel better. I know you don’t work for me anymore, but this one is going to take your unique skill set.”
“One that can’t wait until the sun comes up?”
