“Ferro!” he yelled, pushing open both doors into the bar in a grand gesture.

The bartender looked over at him, as did the other occupants. Luthor shot him a glance, then resumed looking out the window that had occupied his attention. The other occupants were a human couple who looked distinctly out of place, but to their credit, they didn’t flee. He gave them a friendly nod as he went by, walking right up to the big slab of mahogany that formed the bar top and looked Ferro right in the eye.

“I need your help,” he said.

Ferro considered his words for a moment. “Not sure how much help I can be.”

“I just need to know something.”

This time Ferro didn’t respond. He just stared at Darren and waited for him to continue speaking.

“Was there anyone else in the bar last night who followed us outside when we left? Someone that perhaps had a professional-looking camera?”

“Saw that interview,” he remarked. “Recognized the parking lot. Thought it odd that someone was there watching you, but didn’t see anybody leave here. They must have been outside.”

“Shit,” Darren swore, slapping his hand off the bar as he looked frustratingly at Kierra. He desperately wanted to protect her.

“You didn’t manage to catch the person up on the mountain earlier I take it?” Ferro said from behind him.

Darren spun. “What did you just say?” he asked dangerously. They hadn’t told anyone about that incident.

“The news,” he said, clicking the TV on behind him. “It’s got pictures of you two up on the mountain hugging. They said it was from earlier today.”

Darren gripped the table so tightly his knuckles began to turn white from the pressure. Only the soft, tender touch of Kierra was able to get him to relax. He watched as she pried his fingers loose, one by one, and wrapped them around her own hands.

“It’ll be okay,” she said, ignoring the TV which was still showing the two of them in a close embrace. “I promise.”

He tried to believe her, but he couldn’t. Someone was putting the woman he cared about in danger. That was unacceptable to him.

“I should go down to the station. They’ll give me the name of the photographer, I promise,” he said nastily, stepping around Kierra.

“No,” she snapped, her hands pulling hard on his, forcing him to halt his progress.

“They’re dragging your name through the mud,” he growled. “This could just be the start. Who knows what else they’re up to?”

“Who is ‘they’?” she asked.

“Whoever it is that wants to see you lose the election. Someone must really want you to not win. Were you likely to win?” he asked abruptly.

Kierra paused, but then shook her head negatively. “No, unlikely. I’m pretty sure that Jordan Immolt was going to get reelected. That was part of my campaign, because I’m fairly certain he’s been bought out by LMC.”

A sinking sensation came over Darren as he realized that his own employers might be out to get her. He couldn’t tell her that either, not
