Chapter 1
The city sweltered in the August heat. Shady Central Park shook under the ominous rumbling of approaching thunder. Just freakin’ great.
Rae Browning tossed the remnants of her bagged lunch in the trash and turned a dubious weather eye skyward. Dark clouds gathered to the southwest.
She wanted to walk across the original historic Brooklyn Bridge on her way home and enjoy her free afternoon. Now she’d have to take the subway home. God, she hated the claustrophobic aura of the underground subway in the summer. No sky, no breeze, just stale air, stagnant with the smell of sweat and illegal drugs.
Better to walk as far as possible, resorting to the rails if and when the rain actually fell. Not that she feared getting wet. They’d declared the rain safe again, insisting the huge skysweeping equipment developed in 2095 did its job cleaning toxins from the air. Rain no longer became polluted as it fell to earth.
Lightning streaked across the sky, followed by the sharp crack of thunder. Rae slung her tote bag over her shoulder and ran for the nearest subway portal. It didn’t matter to her if she got wet, but being fried by bolts of electricity from above, quite another. The humidity soared in an instant as large raindrops splattered on the sidewalk. Rae ran down the steps and into the subway station with scant seconds to spare before the heavens opened in a downpour.
Jostling with several dozen others to get though the gate, she managed to slap her palm on the keypad before a large, well-built man deliberately shoved her on through.
Hey, buddy! If that didn’t read, I’ll get a hobo rider fine!
Sorry, miss,
he mumbled, keeping his head down and his face turned away from her.
Sure you are.
Rae stalked away, intent on getting to the portal security to make sure she’d been scanned in properly. He followed her, that is, until he seemed to realize her destination.
Good riddance,
she muttered to herself as she approached the security station.
The attendant rescanned her palm print and assured her the record showed her as a legal rider. She thanked the officer and turned in time to see her train pull away without her. It didn’t matter too much. She plopped down on the nearest bench to wait for the next one. In just a few minutes, the rumble of the approaching train vibrated the bench beneath her.
Rae stood to adjust her tote, never quite managing to get it up on her shoulder again as a stranger bumped into her. She staggered and he grabbed her, spinning her around. Shock coursed through her, fast on the heels of the realization it was the same man who’d knocked her through the gate. Like any good twelfth-generation New Yorker, she swung her tote and smacked him with it.
Get away from me, you annoying perv! You’re lucky I didn’t get fined!
The man released her with one hand and reached into his pocket. He held out a red credit—a fifty—the amount of the hobo rider fine.
Again, my apologies.
His smooth, mocking voice made the hair on the back of her neck rise.
Rae looked up at him. Cold, black eyes examined her. A scar across his right cheekbone gave him a sinister appearance. She shook her head.
I don’t want your credits. I want you to never bother me again.
Not to worry, pretty lady. You’ve been most accommodating.
He tipped his hat and walked away, blending into the crush of people exiting the train.
Accommodating? What did he mean by that? Maybe he liked getting hit with tote bags. It didn’t matter. Rae watched him go through the turnstile and disappear up the stairs. He was gone this time and she had better get in the rail car before it left without her again.
As she turned to enter the nearest car, a lone figure moved in the shadows on the edge of her vision. Suddenly wary, she stared at the man. Whoever he was, he didn’t belong beyond the security barrier, back where only rail workers were allowed. His long, black duster was evidence he wasn’t where he belonged.
He stood tall enough to be very noticeable in a crowd, maybe six three or six four, and lean. His golden blond hair hung silky and straight down his back to between his shoulder blades. Angry, deep-set blue eyes blazed out of the pale stillness of his face. She paused, one foot on the threshold of the car.
He moved suddenly, springing over the barrier with the grace of some great cat, crossed the distance to the car, and headed straight for her in long, purposeful strides. Rae’s heart leaped into her throat.
She darted into the subway car and raced out the other side just as he entered the car. Rae timed it perfectly, and the doors closed between them. His angry gaze locked with hers, his lips pressed tightly together in a thin, tight line. Rae took a step back as the train lurched forward. He slammed his palm against the window.
To her enormous surprise, he smiled ruefully showing even, white teeth that had surely cost him a lot to get so perfect, and nodded to her as the train pulled away with him in it.
Rae bolted up the portal steps and ran out of the station. She kept running through the rain until she made it to her apartment, and safety, vowing to avoid the subway for at least a week. The people in the city grew weirder with every passing week. Thank the heavens she stayed in good condition or that run would have given her a heart attack.
