CHAPTER 12

So now we get to one of the most important episodes in my life as a Hunter. The reason I sued MCB. And won. It was a rainy Tuesday. Calls had been slow. There hadn’t been a kifo eruption in the weeks since we lost Glenn. So we were hanging around the team shack when lo and behold two of my favorite people in the world showed up: Myers and Franks.

I’d been helping Franklin with paperwork when I got called back to the team room.

“Agent Myers,” I said, nodding in greeting. Being former MHI, the junior agent wasn’t very popular around here. “Traitor” was one of the nicer things my coworkers called him. He may have been a duplicitous jackass, but he had been a good Hunter, and he’d stepped up at Mardi Gras when the MCB had lost all their senior leadership. I just nodded at Franks and wondered why these two were back in town. “Good afternoon.”

“We need to ask you some questions, Gardenier,” Myers said. “You’re coming with us.”

“I won’t be interrogated without the presence of counsel.”

“You don’t have the right to counsel in supernatural investigations.”

“I do if such counsel is read in on the supernatural,” I said, as calmly as I could. “And in this town, throw a rock and you find a lawyer who knows about the supernatural.”

“Franks,” Myers said. “Bring him.”

Now, Franks just did not care. He would drag me by the hair if he felt like it.

“What’s this about?” Franklin asked. Half the team was up and ready to pounce. The new guys didn’t know Franks. Bad move. Franks would fight the whole office and probably enjoy it.

“Down, boys. I’m going peacefully. You want to cuff me?” I turned around and put my hands behind my back. “I’ll be fine, guys. Let it go.”

“Hell I will,” Sam growled.

“None of your concern, Haven.” Myers said. “Just stay out of this.”

“Last time I heard those same exact words out of an MCB agent’s cock holster, you cowards massacred a cruise ship full of civilians.”

“Get the hell out of our way if you know what’s good for you. Franks, cuff him.”

“Call Mr. Lambert, will you, Franklin?” I asked as Franks put on the cuffs. I won’t say Franks and I were friends but we had fought side by side. I think I even saved his life at Mardi Gras, but that did not matter with Franks. Those cuffs bit to the bone. I’m not sure he even knew how to put them on lightly.

“You call anyone, the MCB will throw you in prison,” Myers snapped on the way out.

I hoped Franklin would call his bluff.

They took me outside and Franks put me in the back of the car with a shove. Myers dropped a bag over my head.

“Is that strictly necessary?” I knew the sound was muffled but it was a reasonable question. The answer was a hard blow on the side of my head. Okay, they were playing by those rules. This would be interesting.
