"-Was that my vase?" Lee asked, rising to peer after the retreating woman and Danny, once he was sure Wing was in one piece, turned to follow her out. "Hey, wait a second," he said, pausing a few feet behind her because he wasn't deluded enough to think their impromptu team up meant she wouldn't try to kick his teeth in if he got too close again.
In the very short time they'd been in the bedroom, the guy he'd taken out in the hallway had disappeared, and Danny suspected the others downstairs and on the rooftops would soon follow suit. Ninjas. At least they knew they'd been beat, though now Danny had to figure out what to do with the assassins in the bedroom if they were dead. And he still had that cheesecake outside. Well, one thing at a time.
"Look, I'm sorry you got dragged into this," Danny apologized. "But I really appreciate your help. Thanks. I owe you one." He knew it was a long shot to even ask, but he was nothing if not determined. "Don't suppose you'll give me your name, huh?"
