Chapter Four

The firm of Anderson and Wang had surprisingly lax security, and he was able to slip in through the back door, tensely holding his breath for a few seconds as he waited for an alarm to go off. There could still be a silent alarm, so he waited for ten minutes near the exit where he’d entered, listening intently for the sound of sirens approaching in the distance. He maintained his camouflaged state the entire time, though it was a bit of a tight fit in the storage room.

Once he was reasonably certain he hadn’t triggered an alarm, he transformed into his human body and slipped on the clothes he had carried in his claw. After that, he left the storage room in his human form and went to the front of the building, looking for a directory.

It was a small operation, composed of only two floors. He found Anderson’s office easily enough and forced the door open with a little bit of his dragon’s strength. The knob twisted in his hand with a harsh protest of metal against metal, and the door swung open inward.

He moved across the office, which was surprisingly spartan considering the amount of money Anderson must be making from his mob connections. He sat down in Anderson’s chair, which was ridiculously comfortable, and leaned back. His gaze flicked to the computer, but he wasn’t a hacker, so he wasn’t confident in gaining access if Anderson bothered to use even a smidge more security on his desktop than he did in his building. He let out a satisfied murmur when he found a Rolodex. It was an old-fashioned touch, but he was pleased Anderson kept one for whatever reason.

Eben flipped through until he found a listing for A.P. There was nothing labeled Peretti, so it was the closest lead he had. He picked up Anderson’s office phone and dialed the number, preparing to apologize if he ended up getting someone besides Peretti. Fortunately, from the way the other party answered the phone, he was fairly confident he’d reached the mobster.

“Anderson, why are you calling me this early on Christmas morning? You’d better have the broad, or I’ll bury you with a stake of holly through your heart.”

He chuckled. “That’s a nice touch of Dickens, but it isn’t Anderson.”

There was silence for a moment. “If you’re not Anderson, why are you calling from his office, and who are you?”

“It’s Eben Meiser, and we need a meeting.”

The mobster cursed loud and low at the same time, the pitch of his voice changing with every syllable. “You have a lot of nerve calling me, Meiser. I know you’re shielding Jacobson. Hand her over, and you might survive the night.”

“We already survived the night, thanks. I’m in Anderson’s office, and I’ll be waiting. Don’t make me wait long.” He hung up the phone before sliding backward to stand up. Eben stripped off his clothes with economical movements and placed them on the edge of the desk within easy reach.
