Linton hadn’t been prepared for the possibility of psionic interrogation, nor had he been conditioned against truth drugs. Cam knew the man was a plant the moment he slipped into Linton’s mind.

“Sloppy,” he said, glancing at Draven. “Calypso Syndicate.”

“Typical,” was Draven’s only comment. The next thing Cam knew, Draven had straddled Linton’s legs, almost sitting on the man’s lap, the muzzle of a gun Cam hadn’t even known he was carrying pressed to Linton’s forehead. Draven’s gleeful anticipation rivaled Linton’s fear. Cam adjusted his shielding pattern and let out a quiet sigh of relief when the emotions of the two men before him cut off.

“Are you playing a game with me, Mr. Linton?” Draven asked in pleasant voice.

Linton’s eyes flicked from Draven to Cam and then back to Draven. “N-no. No games.”

“Too bad. I like games… but you’re not very good at them, are you?” He leaned forward and said in a loud whisper, “Cameron’s a lot more fun than you are. He doesn’t leave his secrets lying around where just anyone can find them.”

Draven sat back and pulled the trigger. The gunshot was like a whip-crack, and even though he’d half expected it, Cam jumped, adrenaline coursing through him. He turned his face away, unable to look at Draven. Every muscle in his body locked as he waited for Draven to turn the gun on him.

“Huh.”

Cam glanced up to see Draven standing in front of the couch examining the dark, spreading stain under Linton’s body.

“You were right. Very sloppy.” Draven looked at Cam and grinned. “I think this couch is done for.”

“Did you…” Cam swallowed back the acid that rose in his throat. He wasn’t sure if he should be disturbed or relieved. If Draven knew what he was, he’d have died last night, the same way Linton just had. “Did you get anything more out of him?”

“Mr. DeMira’s compensation package apparently wasn’t good enough for Mr. Linton. He was approached by our competitors a few months ago. He’s been feeding them information ever since. Too bad he didn’t have any names.” Draven’s eyes narrowed as they searched Cam’s face. “You don’t look so good.”

“I… I’m just tired,” Cam said, which was true. He didn’t think it was necessary to add sick, frightened, and heartsore; the words would likely mean nothing to Draven.

“Mmm. Rough night and all.” Draven gave his shoulder an awkward pat. It took everything Cam had not to flinch away. “We’ll call it a day.” He glanced toward the couch. “This’ll need to be cleaned up before we continue, anyway. It might upset people.”
