      Gambit in the Night

      Marylyn Gates swung her purse happily at her side. What a night she’d had. The man of her dreams had finally said he cared. If not for her late night job at the court, she would have stayed with him.

      In his arms.

      In the scent of his sweating body.

      His moans and hers had echoed both pleasure and mutual acceptance of hearts blossoming into fully flamed love.

      I love you!

      I you, he returned with a deep kiss that left her so breathless she almost gasped for mercy when he turned her over onto him and began embracing her in another hot round of passion.

      By the time they finished she had only a few minutes to make it to the court.

      Didn’t matter.

      She could miss the first five minutes or so and no one would talk. It was night court. Few bothered to be on time that late at night.

      Almost MidBells even the shadows that cast from the dark buildings of London were going to sleep, falling back and preparing for the coming day, which was only a few hours away now.

      She begged him to wait for her, saying she would return after work.

      They had kissed long and deep.

      Let me walk you...

      She put a finger to his lips. "I’m safe. I’ve been this way many times. The constables are very sharp. Very alert this time of night.

      What she neglected to tell him was that she had once been a Midnight Angel and knew every nook and cranny of the darker parts of London.

      Not wanting to alienate his new love, he relinquished, but reluctantly.

      She hurriedly dressed, redressed her makeup and rushed for her job.

      If she hadn’t been so tired from her love fling and from the loss of sleep. They hadn’t slept a single hour for two nights...if not, she might have been sharper. Knowing the area she would have immediately sensed the shadow that moved in the alley and twisted to follower her as she passed.

      She didn’t.

      But maybe had she been alert, it would just have prolonged the inevitable.

      No one can say.

      No one will ever be able to say.

      This was not a good night for her.

      The shadow in the shadows flung itself into her path, blocking her way. It was lowered, as if afraid to let her see its face.

      She didn’t notice the fingers at first,
