Chapter Seventeen

“My apologies for my tardiness, once again,” Sebastian said as he stepped into Kasen’s office. He wasn’t used to making apologies, but when he was at fault, he would certainly take responsibility. Unfortunately, it felt like he was doing that a lot lately. He wasn’t going to tell Kasen why he was late, an unnecessary walk with Gabrielle. Unnecessary, but very much enjoyed. The more time he spent around her, the more he was certain and the more he became enamored with her. Which made this meeting with Kasen so much more difficult. He despised being anything but professional, and this situation that was growing between them would likely get very messy before things were all said and done. The best he could do at this point was ensure that he mitigated any damages to Gabrielle’s feelings.

“No problem,” Kasen said with his trademark congenial smile. “In fact, I must admit to getting here only a moment ago myself.”

“Well, good,” Sebastian said, containing his discomfort at hearing it. He knew why Kasen was late as well, or he could guess. He knew that he went out with Gabrielle the night before. The fact that he had probably been kept up late wasn’t a welcome thing for Sebastian to learn. It meant their date had clearly went well.

“You asked me here?”

“I’m afraid I’ve uncovered some troubling things,” Kasen said as Sebastian took a seat on the other side of Kasen’s desk.

“More anomalous missions?” Sebastian asked. He unbuttoned the jacket of his suit and made himself a bit more comfortable.

“Worse I’m afraid,” Kasen said, getting a bit more of Sebastian’s attention. “It appears these mission authorizations were all forgeries, as were the approval stamps of successful completion.”

“How is that possible?” Sebastian asked. “You must personally authorize each mission. And I personally stamp them approved once they are completed.”

“Indeed,” he said, his troubled look contrasting with the almost non-existent troubled expression on Sebastian’s face. “It took me a while to figure it out. I had to go back into my personal records. But I finally figured out these were all forgeries. Very good forgeries but forgeries nonetheless.”

“One of your subordinates?” Sebastian asked, assuming that Kasen had been thorough enough to do some digging into the situation before calling him here.

“Unfortunately I don’t think so,” Kasen said. He leaned forward, propping his elbows on his desk. “If that were the case, it would be easy to deal with.”

“I figured if you asked me to come here on the first day of the Death Festival there was a serious reason,” Sebastian said.

“These ‘missions’ were actually carried out,” Kasen said, throwing in an added level of concern. Sebastian sat forward in his chair. This was indeed concerning. To have the missions initiated but not carried out meant that it was possible there was a clear-cut case of incompetence or simple laziness on behalf of their subordinates. But if they appeared to be acted upon in any way, it meant that Death Angels were entering the Between and the living world without proper permission.
