Maxim was sure Mercer could find out how high the price on her head was within a day or so, if not sooner, but he wasn't sure if that was really her worry. More difficult was the idea of figuring out how to eventually get her back to living a somewhat normal life. They could ship her off somewhere, get her on her feet in a different city, a different state, where Farkas' reach would be too short to find her, but it wasn't really a permanent fix. The only thing that was permanent would be getting rid of the man.
"Your safety is as important as the safety of others," Maxim reassured. When she looked at him he gave her a small smile, serious still but gentle. "You should get used to standing behind me if anything goes wrong. If you'll trust me to be your shield, I'll trust you to watch my back." Physically and metaphorically, they would both have little other choice but to begin to rely on each other.
"Come on," he said after a pause, finally opening his door to get out. "Let's get that coffee and let the nerves settle for a little while." Once they had rested, had a decent time to watch for any suspicious activity out the windows and to think of their next moves, they would head back to the office where it was safe and see what Mercer could dig up about Farkas. It was possible that for a while it would be best to stay at the pack house, or at least in areas of town where Farkas' lot weren't so present.
