Chapter Seventeen

I embedded triggers when I buried her memories. When the time is right she'll recover them.

--Letter from Benjamin Alexander to Gray Miller

The building seemed to spring from the hillside into the pouring rain, a massive forbidding monstrosity. Dupree looked at it with distaste. He hated this place. It was just as gloomy and oppressive on a sunny day. Just as austere and unwelcoming inside its great rooms. But his commander ordered and he obeyed. Someone had to inform the council one of its members was dead and find out what the fuck Contee was doing in Camden in secret.

Instead of approaching the old wood door, however, he stood in the rain fuming. Had he mentioned that he hated this place? And the people who inhabited it. Politicians all, sneaky and secretive. He wasn't counting on getting the answers he or Winter needed, and if he did they'd no doubt come with a heavy price.

"Any reason we're standing out here in the rain, babe?" Kara asked.

Because he was an idiot? Her tone was sharp. She was still annoyed at him for pulling Vic and Jonas off her protection detail, and yes, he'd done it partly out of jealousy. He had to grit his teeth every time he saw her with Vic. She may think they were just friends, but her friend felt anything but friendly toward her. So yeah, Dupree could admit that had been part of his motivation, but only a small part. They hadn't kept her safe. It would be a long time before he got over that.

"Dupree?" He looked down at her and his heart pounded.

She felt betrayed. He didn't blame her and it was hell seeing that hint of accusation in her eyes. And damn, it was nice to have her at his side. Even angry at him, she was an ally. The sooner he got what he came for the sooner he could get her alone and try to explain.

He'd be more concerned about her lingering anger if he wasn't so sick with worry. Ben's niece. She'd dropped that little bombshell on the drive up. She claimed she hadn't told anyone when the memory returned to her, not even Winter, and he believed her. Which didn't make him the least bit happy she'd delayed telling him. He couldn't help thinking that being related to Ben put her in even more danger. He hoped like hell she wasn't keeping any other big secrets from him.

The Grand Master himself opened at Dupree's knock. He stepped back so they could enter. "I was beginning to wonder if you meant to spend the night in the rain."

"I considered it." He kept his hand on the small of Kara's back. Angry with her or not, she was his to protect. "You've met Kara Stone, right?"

He smiled. "Of course. Come inside."

They followed Gray through the wide foyer into an office set off to the right side under the staircase. The floors were stone, the furniture severe and uncomfortable except for the plush leather seat behind the desk.
