President Robert Mosley wasn’t unfamiliar to Travis. But seeing him again left a knot in the pit in his stomach. It had nothing to do with the fact that the man standing in front of him was one of the most powerful in the world.

It had everything to do with why Travis had seen him in the first place.

Travis swallowed as he stretched his hand out to shake the President’s hand under the watchful eye of the Secret Service that was standing nearby. It wasn’t every day that the President of the United States met up with him at a secret location. Travis noticed how the agent’s suspicious eyes would dance over Travis and Jace and then move to other things in the area. Always watching. Always waiting.

Travis dropped the President’s hand and shoved his hands into his pockets, then swallowed and looked at the ground. The last time Travis had seen President Mosley, they’d shaken hands too, but that was after an unsuccessful assassination plot had almost taken out the President and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who were gathered in the Oval Office ready to be briefed by the CIA.

But the agents that had been there had been compromised.

Remembering the moment nearly knocked the breath out of Travis. He remembered standing at the door and looking at the woman who was holding a dart attached to a poisoned ring to the President’s neck, ready to plunge it into his vein.

It had been none other than his former dead fiancée, Kira Pozreva.

And given the situation, Travis had no choice but to kill her.

Jace answered before Travis had a chance. “No problem, sir. What can we do for you?”

Travis tried not to smile at the overly easy way that Jace spoke to President Mosley. It was as if his presence carried no more weight than if Jace was at a restaurant, serving President Mosley a cheeseburger, the President stripped of his title and just another regular guy.

It made Travis like Jace all the more.

“We’ve got a bit of a problem.” The President pointed to the man standing next to him. “This is Beckett Klein. You spoke to him on the phone, I believe?”

Beckett shook hands all around. “I’m in charge of the Secret Service detail for the White House. Yeah, I’m the one that called you.”

To Travis, Beckett Klein looked like a former basketball player. He was lanky with overly long arms and legs and giant hands that looked like they could grip the side of a basketball in one palm. He wasn’t tall enough to play basketball, though, probably only an inch or so taller than Travis, unless of course he was a forward.

Travis looked away and then back at Beckett again. His body might look like a basketball player, but his square jaw, dark brown skin, and black, close-cropped hair made him look like
