"Kat? It's Mike."

Kat was awakened by the ring of the telephone. Without opening her eyes, she reached out for it and put the receiver to her ear.
查看中文翻译
"You know the fellows I owed money to? Mr. Dinetto got them off my back. He's a real gentleman. And he thinks the world of you, Kat."
查看中文翻译
Your friend. Kat was nervous…"Mike, listen to me. I want you to be careful."
查看中文翻译
Kat had forgotten the incident with Dinetto, but now it suddenly flashed into her mind: Lady, you don't know who you're talking to. You better do what the man says. This is Mr. Lou Dinetto.
查看中文翻译
"Who?" Kat tried to concentrate, groggy with sleep.
查看中文翻译
"Mr. Dinetto."
查看中文翻译
Kat had no idea what he was talking about. " Mike…"
查看中文翻译
"Mr. Dinetto. He really saved my life."
查看中文翻译
"H'lo?"
查看中文翻译
"My friend?"
查看中文翻译
She heard him laugh again.
查看中文翻译
"Never better, sis. Thanks to you and your friend."
查看中文翻译
Mike was going on. "I'm sending you some cash, Kat. Your friend arranged for me to get a job. It pays real good money."
查看中文翻译
She sat up, her heart suddenly pounding. "Mike, are you all right?" She heard him laugh.
查看中文翻译
Kat was unable to go back to sleep. Dinetto! How did he find out about Mike, and why is he helping him?
查看中文翻译
"Take care of yourself, Mike. Don't --"
查看中文翻译
The following night, when Kat left the hospital, a black limousine was waiting for her at the curb. The Shadow and Rhino were standing beside it.
查看中文翻译
"Don't worry about me. Didn't I tell you everything would be coming up roses? Well, I was right."
查看中文翻译
The connection was broken.
查看中文翻译
As Kat started to pass, Rhino said, "Get in, doctor. Mr. Dinetto wants to see you."
查看中文翻译
She studied the man for a moment. Rhino was ominous-looking, but it was the Shadow who frightened Kat.
查看中文翻译
"Thanks for coming, Dr. Hunter," he said. "I appreciate it. A friend of mine had a little accident. I want you to take a look at him."
查看中文翻译
There was something deadly about his stillness. Under other circumstances, Kat would never have gotten into the car, but Mike's telephone call had puzzled her. And worried her.
查看中文翻译
She was driven to a small apartment on the outskirts of the city, and when she arrived, Dinetto was waiting for her.
查看中文翻译
"How did… how did you find out about him? I mean, that he was my brother and…"
查看中文翻译
"I am," Kat said. "I really am."
查看中文翻译
"I told you, he doesn't like hospitals. I can get you whatever hospital equipment you need. I had another doctor who took care of my friends, but he had an accident."
查看中文翻译
"Nothing," he said innocently. "I heard he was in a little trouble, and I got it taken care of."
查看中文翻译
What am I letting myself in for? Kat wondered. "Very well."
查看中文翻译
"Illegal?" Dinetto said. He seemed hurt. "I wouldn't ask you to do anything like that. This friend of mine was in a little accident and he hates hospitals. Would you take a look at him?"
查看中文翻译
Dinetto's friend had been badly beaten up. He was lying in bed, unconscious.
查看中文翻译
The words sent a chill through Kat. She wanted nothing more than to run out of the place and go home, and never hear Dinetto's name again, but nothing in life was free. Quid pro quo. Kat took off her coat and went to work.
查看中文翻译
"He's in the bedroom."
查看中文翻译
Kat shook her head. "I won't do anything illegal."
查看中文翻译
"What happened to him?" Kat asked.
查看中文翻译
"Good! You know the saying 'One hand washes the other'?"
查看中文翻译
Dinetto looked at her and said, ' 'He fell down a flight of stairs."
查看中文翻译
"He should be in a hospital."
查看中文翻译
Dinetto smiled. "In my business, we're all friends. We help each other. Mike got mixed up with some bad boys, so I helped him out. You should be grateful."
查看中文翻译
"What are you doing with Mike?" Kat demanded.
