“I can’t fucking believe we’re doing this,” Omega grumbles beside me.

We’re in the building next door to the one we work for headed for a meeting at HEL Enterprises.

Shit. This doesn’t feel right.

“Me neither. I’m sorry, O,” I groan as we stride toward the only set of elevators in the ornate and expensive lobby.

Over at HEA, they still have the furniture from 1986, it would seem. Here at HEL, they spend their money on luxurious interior decorating.

“You’d do the same for me,” he assures me.

He’s right, but it doesn’t make me feel any better.

When we make it to the elevators, there’s one button and it points down. Great.

I mash it and turn to look at my best friend. “So, where’s Lovenia?”

“She said she’d meet us there. Where’s Lark?”

“Asleep. She has a shift tonight and wanted to nap beforehand. Pedro still alive?”

“For now,” he mutters. “But if he keeps eyeing Love, I’m going to have to kick his ass. Last night, he actually licked his lips when she walked by, and it took every ounce of self-control not to pummel his ass.”

An uneasy feeling skitters down my spine. He’s joking, but I think that, if it came between Love and Pedro, Omega would make the wrong decision. But, considering I’ve broken every law possible, I have absolutely no room to tell him so.

“What do you think Pallas would say if he knew we were here?” I ask. I hate that I am betraying my boss by not only banging my assignment, but also meeting with Love’s boss.

The doors to the elevator finally open and we step inside.

“He’d probably drop that damn cigar right out of his mouth,” he laughs. “We’re headed to the second-to-the-bottom floor.”

I push the button and chuckle with him at the thought of Pallas getting so pissed that he drops his most prized possession. We’re still laughing as the doors close. But right before they close all of the way, a hand stops them.

The doors slide back open to reveal a sophisticated man standing on the other side, holding an expensive leather briefcase. His dark hair is slicked back in a stylish way, and his matching goatee is neatly trimmed. When he sees us, his mouth quirks up into a smirk. Omega and I nod our greeting as he steps inside. With the addition of our newest elevator companion, the temperature seems to have risen several degrees in the close quarters.

“Good afternoon, gentlemen.” He smiles as he reaches for the button below ours.

Omega and I exchange anxious glances.

“Good day, sir,” I return politely.

He extends his hand toward me in greeting. The man is ever a classic fellow with his tweed three-piece suit and manners. I’d imagine him to be much older than Omega and I, except he doesn’t look any older than thirty.

Reluctantly, I give his very warm hand a firm shake. Then he releases me and checks the time on his watch before looking my way again.

“Please call me Luc,” he instructs jovially. But underneath the jovial front lies something sinister.
