A jolt of fear ran through Lisa; Ronnie was a cop! Did he know who she really was? Had this whole conversation been a ruse just so he could get close enough to arrest her, and put an end to her running? No, she didn't think so. He wouldn't have just announced he was a security guard, but then say he was off-duty. She was pretty sure he had just been flirting with her. Her fear subsided, but a dull worrying still nagged her. Just act normal, she thought, don't give him any reason to be suspicious, and extricate yourself from this conversation as soon as you get a chance.
She smiled at him. "Wow! Police work! Now that's a lot more exciting than computers. So have you caught any bad guys roaming the ship?"
