By the light of day, Club Afterlife lacked that special something that made it popular with the crowds by nightfall. Marcus stood in the middle of the dance floor and stared past the pool tables to the large entertainment balcony beyond. He thought of the first night he’d brought Kyra here, how everything had gone so much better than he had anticipated. Losing her memory had been unforeseen, but so damn perfect. Now look at the mess Marcus had to deal with. He shook his head. What had Leila been thinking, bringing Sebastian here?

“Well, let’s see it,” Marcus said, and turned to meet Rick’s waiting, watchful eye.

Rick pivoted, did an about-face, and led the way to a private staircase. Bright and stark was the stairwell, its main purpose the flow of supplies. They descended several flights, passing various levels of the club along the way to the basement. Heavy, dark scuffs, trash, and blood littered the last several steps before they walked through the door into the open storage area. The large metal door to the area beyond remained open, and men worked in the dank space with high-powered hoses, spraying the walls and floors. Where Marcus and Rick stood, several bodies had been tossed in a pile to the side. Someone had scrubbed and cleaned up the rest of the wreckage already.

Rick stopped and his gaze swept over the place, his lips twisting to the side.

“How many were there?” Marcus asked.

“According to the surveillance playback, about a dozen or so,” Rick said with a mild nod of the head.

“A dozen,” Marcus repeated, his tone dry, surly. “A dozen men, and we only manage to take out three of them, while losing all our own?” His nostrils flared.

Rick took a step back. “Well…” He pointed to the busy cleanup in the next room. “Something we can’t explain went down.”

“What happened?” Marcus’s eyes narrowed, then he stared past Rick and walked through the door to the other room. The large cage stood at the far end. A guy whose name he hadn’t bothered to learn was hosing the area down. Chunks of matter—flesh and blood—were pushed into piles by the water spray. “What in all dragons’ domain happened here?”

“That’s the thing. We’re not sure. The surveillance turned to static right after the first shots rang out. There’s no way of telling without getting ahold of an actual witness.”

“Then get me a fucking witness,” Marcus snarled. “I want to know what killed my men.” He stood rigid, felt the fury burning through his bloodstream. If the Mara bastard was responsible—

Marcus spun around and stormed back to the front room, to the pile of bodies waiting there. He kicked at the one on top, watched it topple over. Dark fatigues. No distinguishing markings on the clothing—but for one tiny little square of an emblem, a patch sewn to the lower left corner of the soldier’s vest. Easily overlooked. Marcus growled.

“So. He found me.” Marcus raked his hand through his hair and kicked the soldier again, for extra measure.
