Jai knew well enough that you couldn't judge a book by its cover, especially not in this day and age. Women could be every bit as dangerous as men, and crime was not a gender-exclusive way of living. It still surprised him now and then. Nisha seemed to be a pleasant girl, and she was pretty on top of it. So what the hell had she done to involve herself with 'big men with weapons?'
"I don't see any big men with weapons around here," he said, smoothly. "If you had to worry about them in this place, I reckon they would have shown their faces by now. But we're not going to let anything happen to you."
