Snippet
Almost as an afterthought Zenobia asked, “How many men do you know that you can really trust?” “How many men can I really trust?” Jasmine repeated Zenobia’s question. After careful thinking, she replied, “None! Whatever you are thinking of doing, if it requires trustworthy men, forget it!”
The look of controlled, determined intensity on the girl told her that was not likely to happen. This girl is dangerous, extremely dangerous!
Zenobia waited a minute before questioning, “Aren’t you going to ask me?”
“No! You don’t know me and I don’t know you. Possession of certain types of knowledge brings danger. I don’t need that!”
Zenobia contemplated her next step. She needed a man with particular skills, and she did not know how to go about finding him. She made a decision. “I do know you. You are like the leopardess in the forest that I spared. You are alert, skilled, and intelligent, trying to survive in a perilous wilderness of a sort, the alleys of this city. Therefore, I both respect you and value your opinion. I need your help!”
“Helping you could be dangerous,” Jasmine answered quietly. “Convince me it will be worth the risk.”
