All the anger Yvonne had bottled up

    on the way over burst out at once.

    But this time, Dan was ready. He

    rolled his chair out of the way just in

    time, dodging her attack.

    Yvonne was livid. She lunged at him. "Where the hell did you hide Susanna?!"

    Just the mention of Susanna made Yvonne see red she swung at Dan even

    harder.

    But Dan was prepared this time. He

    wasn''t about to let Yvonne beat him

    to a pulp likest time. Knowing

    she''de at him with everything

    she had, he met her blow for blow.

    When she demanded to know about Susanna, Dan''s expression turned grim.

    "Susanna''s missing? I didn''t take her."

    "Liar!"

    Yvonne''s temper exploded. She punched harder, desperation and rage fueling

    her.

    Even with Dan on guard, she managed tond a few solid hits—his face, already

    bruised from theirst encounter, started swelling up again.

    But as the scuffle wore on, Yvonne

    suddenly felt her strength fading: All

    that anger she''d been carrying

    seemed to evaporate, leaving her

    weak and lightheaded.

    After a few more rounds, Dan managed to pin her against the desk. "Enough. I

    told you, I didn''t take her."

    Yvonneshed out, grabbing at him. "If it wasn''t you, then who? No one else has

    ever screwed me over the way you have, Dan!"
