    Summary

    Nancy heard a rustling from down in the hole, a panicked animal kind of movement. She stopped in her tracks, kept her gun up steady.

    The noise stopped as suddenly as it started. There was a pause. All Nancy heard was her own deep breathing, the gentle wind, and some scattered birdsong that told her this thing probably wasn't a predator, whatever it was. And then the quiet broke.

    "Stay back!" A woman's voice, raspy and dry. Nancy was thirsty at the sound of it. "I'm armed! You don't want to mess with me, I'm- Shit."

    "I'm armed too," Nancy said, her voice calmer now, modulated, despite the pounding of her heart in her throat. "And you're stuck in a hole. I can leave you to it if you want, or I can throw a grenade down there to keep you company. Or you can put your hands up and maybe we can talk like civilized people. Your choice."

    Summary

    Finally, she’s able to get the number in right. The ring is sharp against her ear. Pick the fuck up, she thinks, and someone must be listening, because the ringing stops.

    “All right, Harrington, what’s on this week’s nightmare menu? And don’t tell me the one about drowning in your pool again, man, we all know that’s rich kid—”

    “It’s Nancy.”

    A long pause, then a laugh. “Wheeler? To what do I owe this late-night honor?”

    “I, um.” Nancy’s tongue feels stuck to the inside of her mouth, like bare skin on upholstery. “I was wondering if you’ve got a couch I can crash on?”

    Nancy finds herself in Olympia, Washington on the eve of the Riot Grrrl movement.

    Summary

    Robin Buckley’s supposed to be a silent wall. An unwavering barrier defending her client from the poisonous fangs and claws of the outside world. A dependable shield who, when doing her job well, is practically invisible despite being in plain sight.

    Usually, she has no issue with any of this. Excels at it all, really. But unfortunately, her current protectee seems fiercely determined to put herself in harm's way, and Robin isn’t sure she’s going to be able to make it through this high-profile gig without racking up a few criminal charges.

    Nancy Wheeler’s supposed to be the perfect daughter. A mild-mannered socialite smiling and waving on cue. A temporary journalist using her college education to write puff pieces until she settles down.

    Much to her parents’ chagrin, Nancy has never been anything like the demure doll they expected her to be, and she has no plans of ever doing so. Not when there’s so much vile corruption and wickedness oozing out of practically every office and facility in the country. Not when she seems to be the only one willing to do anything about it.

    Summary

    It’s strangely quiet on the Odysseus when Nancy feels herself slipping back into consciousness. It immediately puts her on edge. She’s been working in space for years at this point, but it never stops giving her that rush of adrenaline, that fear that sits at the base of her spine. If she’s honest, that’s why she started the work.
