The officer let Ivan out of his holding cell a few hours after he’d been locked up, just as Cain had promised when he’d come down to the station to see him. Staff asking for his autograph delayed him further. After signing his name enough times not to appear rude, he managed to make his way to the reception area where Cain waited.

Ivan signed for his belongings and took them from the cop. “Where’s Alice?”

“On her way home from the office.”

“Alone?”

“I left Maya and Sean with her.”

He exhaled with relief. “Good.” He pulled on his jacket and dropped his phone in his pocket. “Your government connections came in handy. I’m surprised they let me out, even for you.”

Cain walked to the door, not looking back when he said, “Is that your way of thanking me?”

“Why did you do it?”

Cain stopped and turned to face him. His voice was hard. “For Alice.”

“For Alice or for your own selfish reasons?”

“Explain to me how bailing you out can be for my benefit.”

“It’ll help you get to this Godfrey, whoever he is. You’ve never done anything if it wasn’t for your job.”

The red birthmark on Cain’s cheek darkened as angry heat flushed his face. “My job is the least selfish thing I’ve done. My job is what protects people like you, and that job is what keeps Alice safe at night.” He gave an arctic smile. “Got that?”

“Loud and clear,” Ivan said with a smirk.

As the station out front was swamped with journalists, they made their way through the back where Lann waited next to a Mercedes with tinted windows.

“Get in,” Cain said.

Cain took the backseat with him while Lann drove.

Five minutes into the traffic, Cain said, “We got you off the suspect list, but we need to know who killed Melissa May.”

“I already spoke to her.” Ivan shuddered at the memory. It hadn’t been a pleasant transition for the woman. “It was Godfrey.”

“Godfrey is here.” Cain looked outside with a thoughtful air. “He’s daring to be in London when he knows I’m on his tail. I don’t like this.”

“He killed her knowing damn well that portal is open.”

“Believe me, Godfrey doesn’t care about the consequences of an open portal. He has no soul.”

“What about Daniel?”

“Clelia will find him. She’s got a talent for hunting gila shifters. What we need to do is bury Nicolas as quickly as possible so that we can find Godfrey.” He looked at Ivan. “Any news from Boris?”

“Nothing.”

“Then we better make use of the time we’ve got.”

“Have you found the body?”

“I’m waiting for a call from Tim as we speak.”

“How’s Alice coping with all of this?”

Cain studied him. “You don’t love her.”

Ivan chuckled. “If I were capable of love, it would’ve been her.”

“Stay away from her.”

“I’m not a boy, any longer,” Ivan said on a sneer. “You don’t get to throw me out.”

“You may have grown into a man, but you’re still the same person I saw that night.”

Ivan narrowed his eyes. “Still not good enough for you?” He held up his palms.
