TISHA
“This is bullshit. You know that, right? You know this is bullshit.”
Tisha’s heel bounced beneath her chair, worn Converse
squeaking against the aged linoleum.

The cop standing in front of her, hands in his black uniform pockets,
sniffed. His jaw clenched rhythmically as he smacked his stupid fucking
gum like a horse chewing hay.
Tisha had seen a horse once. Chewing hay. That’s how she knew.
She pressed the ice pack more firmly to the side of her head, wincing
with the sting, and glanced at the wall where the window should be. Its
polyphasic pane had been set to replace the view of the city with a plain
gray wall matching the rest of the room. Like they wanted whoever was in
there to feel caged in.
Smith glanced at the holoclock on the wall and gave the gum another
horsey clench as he extracted a packet of napkins from his pocket. He
yanked one out of the crinkled plastic and handed it to her, tapping his
temple for illustrative purposes.
“Gee, thanks,” Tisha quipped, dabbing the tissue at the spot with a
flinch. It came away red.
“Look,” she said, eyes darting between Smith and his partner… what’s
his name… Purdue something. They weren’t gonna like what she had to
say, but she wasn’t about to die for this shit. These people were supposed to
protect her. That was her one condition. “I’m out. This isn’t working for
me.”
Smith just kept chewing, shrewd eyes flicking to the foot tapping under
the chair.
The silence pressured her into elaboration. “I know you’re probably
doing your best…”
They aren’t.
“But it’s not good enough. This is the third time he’s sent his goons after
me.”
“We got you into a safehouse, Tisha,” Purdue piped up from the back of
the room.
“Yeah, and I was in your safehouse when one of his men broke in and
slashed me up,” she snapped. “You said you were gonna assign me a
protective detail. Someone was supposed to be out there.”
“This will all be over once you get him behind bars.”
Tisha gaped up at Smith, his flinty eyes doing that scanning thing he
did.
“At this rate I won’t be alive to get him behind bars. No.” Tisha
smacked both feet flat on the ground and pushed herself out of the plastic
chair. “I’m done. Out.”
“You made a deal, Tisha.” Smith tracked her ascent. He was short,
almost as short as she was, and she was only five-three. His general
roundness only made him look stubbier, all things considered. Tisha didn’t
miss the way he looped a thumb into the holster of his gun.
“What are you gonna do?” She raised a brow, even though it hurt.
“Shoot me?”
