“Hey, Mary, can we get another round in, please?” I called to the landlady, lifting my empty beer glass. She nodded in return whilst Nero followed her every move. Man, he just loved that old lady’s attention.

“So, what the hell happened with you and that Midnight chick? I like her by the way, she’s got some fight in her,” said Hunter.

I groaned. Where did I fucking begin? “You guys remember that Director that keeps harassing me?”

“That’s her?” Hunter asked, eyebrows raised.

“I wish,” I mumbled, and three sets of eyes stared my way.

“Care to explain, Storm?” Drive asked, finishing the last of his beer as Mary came around with more.

I smirked, wondering just how much to give the curious bastards. “She’s one of the agents sent to acquire me.” I let the word roll off my tongue in disgust. Beautiful Kira could acquire me for herself as much as she wanted, but for the Director that wanted to take my job away? Well, she could go fuck herself.

“Ouch! That’s gotta sting,” Hunter expressed, leaving a moment of silence to settle around the table.

The pub was reasonably quiet with a few locals spread across the bar, entertaining Mary and Nero. And though I’d been pumped up enough to work out, the guys had insisted on beer time. Who was I to deny a man some quality time with the golden nectar?

“Why do they want you?” Thunder asked, his brisk tone evident he wasn’t pleased, but then again, he was nicknamed Thunder for a reason. His temper and rage always got the better of him. It was great when hostiles surrounded us, but at home, not so much.

I scoffed. “My age, apparently, is becoming an issue. They seem to think it’s time for a change. Again,” I added. I’d accepted my fate a long time ago, knowing I couldn’t always stay where I was when humans surrounded me, but the more times I had to change forces and rank, the bigger the chip on my shoulder became. I was carving myself piece by piece as I left what I loved behind to start all over again. It fucking sucked.

How could I serve and protect efficiently when whenever I finally settled my team in, it was time to change address, change country, change career, change myself?

I hung my head down low, lips inches from drowning my sorrows in beer. When did I get so fucking sorry for myself?

“Have you noticed any whispers in the field about your age?” Drive asked, leaning back in his chair and casually crossing his arms over his chest.

I shook my head as I swallowed another mouthful of beer. “Nothing, which is why I think the Director is reaching. Who knows,” I shrugged.

“Yeah, but I bet Midnight sweetens the deal though, huh?” Hunter goaded.

I smiled devilishly. “You have no idea. There’s something about her. . .”

“Yeah, I bet there is. Sounds like we’ve got a lovesick Colonel here, fellas.”

I shoved Hunter’s arm, even though I couldn’t deny the sudden happiness that enveloped me whenever I thought of her.
