Chapter Thirteen

Nick winced as Walt pulled the thread through his upper bicep. It took everything he had not to shout out. He should have downed half a bottle of vodka before letting Walt sew him up. “Someone gives you medical degree? I would place large bet that you do not sew up these people.”

The stitches were worse than the bullet that had grazed him. Unfortunately, the graze had been more of a deep cut. Walt had told him to go to hospital, but upon seeing the Benz had agreed that perhaps Nick should stay in for the rest of the day. They’d been damn lucky the police hadn’t pulled them over.

Walt tied off the stitch and cut the thread. “I mentioned that it’s been a good long time since I did an ER rotation. I was more of a researcher before I came here. And my specialty was emerging viral threats. If you ever get a hemorrhagic fever, I can totally tell you all about the DNA structure of the virus that’s going to kill you. And these sutures are perfect, thank you very much. You won’t even have much of a scar.”

The experience was scarring enough. “I’m sure I’ll have more after Damon sees the Benz.” But at least he had those names to investigate. If he still had a job after this. “Do you know if Hayley’s been informed of my minor injury?”

He was already trying to figure out a way to downplay the situation. Of course he was also thinking about the fact that there were still people out there who wanted to hurt him. How many of them were left? Years had gone by and he’d felt relatively safe, but his past was coming back to haunt him at the worst possible time.

Just as he was beginning to think about a future.

“Do I even need to explain how bloody fucking wrong what you did this afternoon is?” Damon Knight strode into the room, Taggart hard on his heels.

“I told you, man. Those Euro cars are too easy to damage. You need to buy American SUVs. They’re like tanks. Even Adam can’t wreck one and he’s a horrible driver. I’m pretty sure he spends more time looking in the mirror to make sure his hair is still douchey than he does paying attention to the road.”

Damon ignored Taggart entirely. He was far too focused on Nick. “Are you trying to get me to fire you? Because I could have you out of here in a few hours, and we all know what will happen if you hit the streets of London at this point. You’ll be dead or in jail within an hour now that you’ve prodded the sleeping dragon.”

Brody stood up, facing their boss. “Hey, he wasn’t out partying, you know. He was trying to find information that will help us with Hayley’s case. And we got it.”

Damon’s face had turned a nice shade of red that let Nick know he’d fucked up at a high level.
