Chapter Sixteen
“Another afternoon off?” Enlil teased the group of agents, who closed up shop early. It was only three o’clock, but the entire bunch had stayed late the previous night doing paperwork following the festival busts.
Candy and Enlil had been tired and hungry after yesterday’s marathon of red tape. They’d gone back to her apartment and ordered Chinese. Candy had been uncustomarily quiet for the balance of the night. They’d watched funny cop movies, one with Eddie Murphy that had Enlil in stitches, but not once had she cracked a smile.
Eventually she’d headed listlessly into her room and closed the door behind her with a decisive click, letting him know that company was out of the question. Enlil had crashed on the floor mattress, totally pissed off.
He had tossed and turned for many hours, thinking about Candy. He was tired of her attitude. He needed to identify her problem, attack it, and consummate their relationship. When he got back from spending Christmas Eve and Christmas with his god family, virgin or no virgin, Candy wouldn’t have another minute to ponder things. He needed to find out if she was his Chosen, and if fucking her would be the only way to accomplish it, then the deed would be done. He’d bring the collar back with him and he wouldn’t brandish an enormous bull cock, but that was as far as he would bend. Let her try being incorporeal for more than three hundred years and see how patient she’d be.
Enlil got a shitty night’s sleep.

“Let’s go shoot some hoops,” JP suggested at the office the next day, breaking through Enlil’s midafternoon haze. “We haven’t seen Tiny in a few months. We should go wish him a merry Christmas.”
“Tiny?” Enlil questioned. Laughter erupted from every corner. Jake explained.
“He was my first partner when I came into the agency twenty years ago. I started out, a tender twenty-three to his forty. He kicked my ass and taught me everything I needed to know, including how to survive.” Jake looked over the team in the room. “Most of these fuck-up’s came to me through him.” Nobody looked annoyed at Jake’s less-than-flattering terminology.
“Unfortunately, Tiny got put out on early disability after getting plugged in the knee cap from a bust gone bad. But true to his nature, he refused to disappear off the radar. Hell, no. Not him. He opened a youth club down on South Central and recruited new blood from there.” He looked around with a grin. “Every misfit kid, every hard-luck smart ass, all fucking genius agents in the making according to Tiny. And once they passed muster with him, he sent them to me.” Jake’s gaze turned to Flick, Z, and Cub, then finally to Candy, which surprised Enlil. He hadn’t asked how she’d come to the DEA.
“I vetted every kid he threw at me, keeping the ones I deemed worthy. Tiny trusted me to do the dirty work of separating the motivated from the lazy.
“The good ones got financial help from him and a bunch of other retired agents he constantly tapped.
