"You've got my vote," Kiernan said enthusiastically, glaring at Jade.

"I wonder how invincible you'd be if I shoved an M-80 up your ass?

Ohmygod," Jade whispered, panicked. She grabbed my arm and yanked, almost knocking me off balance. "Something moved in those bushes."

A small blue vein in her forehead started throbbing like crazy....“Actually, come to think of it, I don’t think he has a type. I’ve never seen him with a woman.
