The Ninja Daughter by Tori Eldridge
I dropped the phone into my satchel and looped the leather strap around my wrist. Armed with a swingable weapon, I charged. When I glimpsed wheat-colored hair, I realized my mistake. With a tilt of my wrist, I guided the whirling satchel over the man’s head and allowed the force of the arc pulled me off balance.
He rushed to my aid, reaching out a hand to help me off the cement. “Are you all right? What happened?”
I twittered with feigned embarrassment and waved away his proffered hand. “I’m fine. Really.” I struggled to my feet in a most inelegant fashion. “I must have slipped on grease.” I repositioned my glasses, searched the dry cement for the culprit, and finding nothing to blame, offered a goofy smile. “Guess I’m just clumsy.”
