I was just about to dive into paperwork when voices in the hallway caught my attention.
"You don't need to escort me to the police station, Thomas."
"Considering you've been the target of three assassination attempts in the past forty-eight hours-yeah, I do."
"Oh, come on," I recognized the speaker as Harry Dresden. "That's hardly new."
The two rounded the corner and saw me. "Stallings," Harry waved. "Murphy in?"
"Yeah," I said, "What's this about assassination attempts?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Harry replied blithely. "You must have misheard."
After Thomas shot me a look, I agreed.
