escape.
    “Help, he’s hurting me!” she called out.
    “Blimey!” Abe released the woman just in time to block one of the men as they rushed him. They blocked him in and began swinging at him. He kicked out and got one of them in the knee, making him buckle down, all the while holding onto the other handcuff. Where the hell was Isaac?
    The woman rolled under his knees making him lose his balance and fall. The man still standing kicked him in the face.
    “Bloody hell!” The woman was using her other hand to try to get the release button to the cuffs from his belt. She bit his hand when he tried to shove her away.
    He was preparing for another hit from the man standing over him but the guy’s face suddenly displayed a strange expression before his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell sideways onto the ground.
    “You couldn’t wait for me before you had all the fun?” Shy asked, tucking her stun gun back into the inner pocket of her leather jacket. He got an eyeful of her sexy, skin-tight t-shirt before she zipped up the jacket. Shy was a gorgeous blonde, sex on heels, and the best distraction the bounty hunters had. She could also stir up trouble quicker than anyone could blink. Add to the mix that she was deadly with a knife or a gun. Shy was a walking violation in tight leather and heels, but she was also smart. She played it down to her advantage but he caught glimpses of just how intelligent she was here and there when they were trying to find a perp and she narrowed down their possible hideouts. Whether she knew it or not, she was an invaluable part of their team.
    “What took ye so long to get out here?”
    Shy shrugged her shoulders. “I had to get rid of three men who wanted to buy me a drink and take me out back for a—good time.”
    As expected, Shy couldn’t go anywhere without causing men around her to clamor for her attention. Unfortunately for them, she never actually wanted their attention. Shy knew how to use her sex appeal to get in and out of sticky situations but more often than not her sex appeal caused even more problems.
    He stood up and dragged the handcuffed woman with him. “Turn around,” he ordered the woman.
    She reluctantly did and he was finally able to put the second cuff on her other wrist. At that moment, Isaac pulled up with the black van they were using. The side doors slid open automatically.
    “Where the hell have ye been?” Abe demanded.
    “Sorry, I had to wait until Shy was out of the bar so I could access the electronic door locks to keep anyone else from coming out and helping the guys who were beating you up.”
    Abe snorted. “Let’s get her loaded up and then get the hell out of here.” He pushed the woman into the van and Shy followed her in. She sat across from the woman. He shut the door behind them.
    He climbed into the passenger’s side and closed the door. Abe shook his hand and rubbed the mark where the woman had bit him.
    “Did she bite you? Kinky,” Isaac remarked. He chuckled when Abe growled at him.
    “Shut ye yap and drive.”
    “Yes, sir.”
    Abe leaned his head back and closed his eyes. He just needed a few hours of sleep, just a few. His phone rang. Groaning, he answered it.
    “What?”
    “Did you get the bail jumper?” his boss Vic asked.
    “Yes, we’re on our way to the local authority to drop her off.”
    “Good, could you bring your team by Lexi’s nightclub on your way back?”
    “Why, what’s up?” He really didn’t feel like going to the club, plus it was after hours so no beer would be available.
    “The club was broken into and I wanted Isaac to go over the security feed and have extra hands here to help me check over the place.”
    “Sure, we’ll be there as soon as we drop the woman off.” He hung up and looked at his team. “Vic needs us to go to Lexi’s club when we are done with her.”
    The woman pleaded her case. “Please, let me go. I’m innocent.”
    Abe snorted. “Aye, right. Let me guess,
