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!"
