There was no inflection in his voice."They saw me," she agreed softly."I let the door close, and as it did, I heard the elevator.Malcolm hadpunched both buttons while we were talking.I didn't know whichelevator had arrived, but I got on and when it started down, I realizedI couldn't go to the lobby.I didn't know who they had shot, or even,at that point, if they had shot anybody.I thought it might be somekind of security thing.Protection for the sheikh.I didn't know, but by then, I had realized Icouldn't do it.I couldn't marry Amir, I mean.I couldn't live likethat."The spate of words stopped again.He wouldn't care about that.Abouther reasons.He just wanted to know why she had pulled him into whathad happened."So you got off the elevator." he said."I slapped at the buttons, hoping it would stop.Hoping I was in time.When it did, I don't think I even knew what floor I was on.I rantoward the exit at the end of the hall.But then I heard the elevatoragain.The bell.I heard it behind me.I thought they were coming, soI used the passkey.I slid it into the nearest door, and.that wasyour room."He said nothing.Although the room had lightened, she couldn't read hisface well enough to know whether he believed her."I wanted to tell you what I'd seen," she said."I tried to tell you in the restaurant." And instead of answering, youkissed me.Somehow the remembrance of that kiss seemed even moreintimate, here in the darkness of her bedroom, than it had then."I didn't want to get you involved," she said."I didn't want to pull someone else into that, but you seemed to knowwhat you were doing.You seemed so capable.So."Dangerous.The word echoed in her brain.It was what he had seemedtonight.He had saved her life again.She didn't know why.Or why hehad followed her here.But she did know he had dealt with the situationtonight with the same cool competence he had used to get her out of thehotel.Despite Amir's men and all those cops.Cops.As soon as she thought the word, the explanation for all thosethings occurred to her.And it made sense.Suddenly something madesense out of his presence here tonight.Of the fact that he had comeall the way to Mississippi to find her.It even made sense of what hehad done.It explained everything that had been so puzzling about thisman from the beginning."That's why you're here," she said.He was some kind of cop, of course.It was obvious, now that she put the clues together.
