Chapter Thirteen

Matt’s secretary greeted him as he exited the elevator on the fifteenth floor. She pursed her lips, disapproval in her narrowed gaze. “You’re late.”

Matt shrugged. He should take issue with her attitude, but he was too frustrated and too tired.

She followed him into his office. “There’s someone here to see you. He’s been waiting about thirty minutes. You must meet with him. This is not a person that takes no for an answer.”

“What happened to scheduling an appointment?” Matt muttered as he sifted through the mail on his desk. He caught the aggravated glower she cast his way. “Who is it?”

“Bryce Sinclair. He is…very persuasive.”

“Where is he?” he snapped, infuriated that Bryce cornered him into a meeting.

“Conference room on the tenth floor.”

“Fine. I’ll head down there.” He stormed back toward the elevator.

He entered the conference room with the taste of irritation in back of his throat. He’d recognized the energy buzz the second he got off the elevator. Druids. As in plural, which meant the old bastard had brought back up. This guaranteed to be on its way to nowhere good.

The chair at the far end of the table was toward the window. To the right sat a college-age boy whose chiseled features could’ve been straight from a page in GQ. The kid’s stylized brown hair was sculpted into trendy spikes. His gaze darted to Matt, curious and nonjudgmental. A low-grade energy buzz identified him as a young Sentry.

The head chair rotated with a soft hiss. And Matt’s irritation jumped straight to need-to-pulverize. He struggled to project only indifference, but he couldn’t help the bitterness in his tone. “Bryce. I’d say it was a pleasure to see you, but I’d be lying. Who’s your friend?”

“You look tired, Matt. Trouble sleeping?” Bryce raised his eyebrows.

Matt sauntered to the bar and poured himself a glass of Perrier. “Can I get either of you a drink?”

“No thanks,” said the spiky-haired guy.

Bryce shook his head.

Between silent sips of Perrier, he evaluated Bryce suspiciously.

Bryce waved at the guy next to him. “This is Jason.” Bryce scanned Matt in a silent, critical once-over and then ordered, “Take a seat. We are going to have that little chat you’ve been avoiding.”

“Why are you here?” Matt shot Bryce an unflinching glare as he took a seat. His scrutiny transferred to Jason.

To the kid’s credit, Jason held eye contact, but his gaze lacked the fuck-you inherent to all trained and tested Sentry. He couldn’t be Bryce’s bodyguard—a little too green behind the gills.

“What would you like to talk about? But let me add that I still couldn’t care less about druid problems.”

“Strange. Wasn’t it you who rescued Katherine the other night? And healed her? I can’t tell you how much we appreciated that. She is, as you well know, important.”

Matt crunched his molars together and swore he would kill Eli. “Coincidence. I was in the right place at the right time. Nothing more.”

“Where is she?”

“I don’t know. She could be in the city or back in her dimension. I know you don’t need me as a tracker here in the city.
