Doncaster stared at the closed door, grinding his teeth. He had admired her curves as she turned away, but he was annoyed she’d teased that bit of information out of him. He took a deep breath, then blew it out in exasperation. He was not looking forward to this.

“He’s going to blame me. That’s just how he is. Somehow, it will be my fault.”

Trembling hands reached beneath his desk and stumbled for the tiny cylinder lock. Damn! The thing was bloody hard to work. He supposed it needed to be that way, else it would be hard to keep it a secret.

Secrets! He barked a rueful laugh.

“Oh, the secrets we keep,” he whispered. He tried to force bravado into his words, but his voice quavered. He paused, closed his eyes and took two deep breaths.

“It’s nothing he can’t deal with. You’re doing him a favor by forewarning him.” A sudden sense of warmth filled him. Of course this could be buried. Probably literally!

He finally managed to enter his code and opened the hidden compartment built into his desk. He took out a small leatherbound journal, flipped to the back page and found, the phone number he needed.

He took another breath, let it out in a huff, and stood. He checked the number again then dialed it up on his desk phone. His heart raced as he listened to it ring. He half hoped it would go to voice mail. But after a moment, the call was answered.

“Yes?” came the curt reply on the other end.

“It’s Mark Doncaster from the temple.” Doncaster took another breath, then said, “I think we have a problem.”
