Drako wasn’t ready to admit it to Malek or Talen yet, but he was having serious doubts about his strategy. It wasn’t working.

They’d wasted hours, make that days, waiting for Oram to make a move. Yesterday. All last night. And now they were ready to head out again today.

So far, their visits to the Chimera’s old headquarters had produced absolutely no leads.

How did a guy get ahead of an enemy who had pulled a vanishing act?

Standing in the storage unit, leaning back against the van, Drako watched his brothers rib each other about women. He hated to admit it, but they were out of their element. Not that they hadn’t been prepared for their duty as Black Gryffons. They’d been trained by their father and his two brothers in weaponry, defensive strategy, and martial arts. But their training had definitely been off-balance. When it came to offensive tactics, they’d been taught not a goddamn thing.

This would be the last time they’d go. If they didn’t get something—either from the ongoing search of the building or from an unplanned visit—they’d go back to the drawing board and try to come up with another plan.

Dammit, he wanted this to work.

Talen, who seemed to have keyed into Drako’s dark thoughts, turned to him. “What’re you thinking?”

Drako let his head fall back, his skull resting against cold steel. “I’m thinking I wished our father had taught us offensive strategies, not just defensive.”

“Why would he? The Black Gryffons have existed for centuries, but how many people know about us?”

“Only the Chimera.”

Talen pulled the vehicle’s passenger side door open. “And that’s because the Black Gryffons are a defensive unit. We’re guardians. We protect The Secret. We’re not out there running willy-nilly hunting down bad guys like some comic book hero. We don’t want to draw attention to ourselves, because in the end that’ll only draw attention to The Secret.”

“So what do you think has stopped the Chimera from outing us?” Drako asked, watching Talen load some bottled water into the cooler sitting between the passenger and driver’s seat.

“The fact that they don’t want to share The Secret with anyone.”

“What’s up?” Malek asked, strolling into the storage unit at least fifteen minutes late.

“Just having a little chat.” Talen shut the cooler and turned to face Malek.

“Let me ask you both this, then.” Drako gave each of his brothers a pointed look. “You’ve gone along with my plan so far. But do you agree it’s the best course of action?” Neither brother spoke. But that didn’t mean they didn’t respond. The guilty looks they exchanged with each other told Drako everything he needed to know. “You don’t agree, then.”

“You know we respect you.” Talen crossed his arms over his chest.

“But you think I’m nuts?” Drako finished for him.

This time, Malek spoke up. “Not nuts, just . . .”

“An idiot?” Drako offered.

His brothers shook their heads.

“What, then?”

“I don’t think either of us knows at this point.” Malek again. “We kind of get why you’re doing this. But not really. Obviously, Oram doesn’t know anything.
