ma.” Ronan teased.
    “t suas!”
    “Ha! You told him to shut up,” Kara
laughed.
    “You’re teaching her Ian? You’ll be sorry.
Mark my words.”
    “Four hour intervals Ronan, so we know you’re
safe and we’re not compromised.”
    “Aye. A bheith sábháilte”
    “You too, be careful.” With that Ronan hung
up.

Chapter 5
    Ian handed the phone back to Kara after he’d
hung up with Ronan. They were only about 20 minutes away from Gary,
so they could find a safe motel and grab some dinner. They’d need
to find a place that took cash and without knowing how long they
were going to be, he couldn’t afford two rooms.
    “Kara?”
    “Yeah”
    “We need to find a motel that takes cash. We
can’t use any credit cards. They may have been looking for Ronan,
but they now have my address and license plate. They’ll be able to
connect you to me. You can’t use any credit cards either.”
    “I only have maybe $100 in cash Ian.”
    “It’s OK, I have about $1500, but it has to
last us, so we can’t afford two hotel rooms. You’ll be safer with
me anyway, OK?”
    She bit her lip, but nodded. “How long do you
think this will take?”
    “I’m hoping just a day, maybe two, so let’s
think of it as a weekend adventure, OK?”
    “OK. Can we find some cheap clothes? I’ll
also need a change of underwear, a toothbrush, toothpaste,
shampoo...”
    Ian’s mind didn’t get past underwear. He
wouldn’t argue if she had to go without underwear. Before he
thought better of it, his eyes strayed to where Meryl’s T-shirt
stretched so tight over Kara’s chest he could still see the outline
of her nipples. He bit back a groan. It was going to kill him to
sleep in the same hotel room as Kara and not touch her. Hopefully
he wouldn’t have to keep his hands to himself. They couldn’t use a
credit card. He’d given his one of his credit cards to Liam anyway
so Liam could drive up to Wisconsin and use the card somewhere.
That way if anyone was watching they would truly be following a
trail in the wrong direction. Ian doubted they were watching his
credit cards since they were looking for Ronan, but they couldn’t
be too careful.
    Rather than shop and stay in the same town,
Ian found a Wal-Mart in Lansing and pulled into the crowded parking
lot. Before getting out of the car, Ian programmed each phone
number into the other phone as speed dial number one and handed one
phone to Kara.
    “I don’t want to get separated, but in case
you have to go to the bathroom or anything, if you can’t see me,
press and hold down the number one and it will dial my phone
OK?”
    “OK.”
    “Otherwise, just keep your hand in mine and
I’ll follow you around the store like a dutiful boyfriend.”
    “Boyfriend?”
    “Kara if I’m holding your hand and following
you closely, people will assume I’m either your boyfriend or your
husband and that’s not a bad thing.”
    “It’s a good thing?”
    Oh yeah! “Well it makes us less conspicuous.”
Ian reasoned.
    And he liked the idea of it, being her
boyfriend. The husband bit, well he’d have to mull that over. He
liked the idea she’d be wearing a ring that said she was taken,
that she was his.
    “Oh.”
    “In fact, we may want to buy some cheap rings
so we look like were married when we check into the hotel.”
    “Rings? Wedding rings?”
    “Yes, unless it makes you too
uncomfortable.”
    She sat thoughtfully for a moment then shook
her head before saying “no, it would be alright if it makes us
safer.”
    “I’m not specially trained like Ronan, so I’m
going a little blind here. I’ve helped him with a sting but never
protected anyone. I don’t want anything to happen to you Kara and I
think if we look like a married couple on a road trip, people will
pay much less attention.”
    “OK.”
    Kara’s head was spinning. Pretend to be
married, to Ian? She liked the idea a little too much. And when he
said he didn’t want anything to happen to her, the way he said it
made
