That’s how Hoot
first met Jessica Vega, “Jesse – as
in Jesse James, the famous outlaw,” she explained, expressing her preference for
the shorthand version of her name. She
was a thirty-something ex-marine warrant officer, once military police-now a
sky marshal, wearing a barely-to-the-knee-length business skirt with a matching
tailored blazer that encouraged Hoot to wonder where she concealed her
weapon.
“So you’re Ezra Hooten,
the famous shooter,” she said with a heavy
hint of derision in her otherwise sultry voice, offering a firm handshake.
From Skyshooter, sequel to Troubleshooter.
