Chapter 12

Wyck finished dressing and poured himself a second cup of coffee, hoping to get more research done. No such luck. As he started toward his laptop, Kagan flashed into his apartment and headed straight for the living room. “Xan, you better see this.”

Xander walked to the sofa and sat beside Kagan. Wyck trailed behind, focusing his attention on the TV. The news report showed yellow crime scene tape flapping in the early morning breeze. The G Spot’s neon sign hung dark and foreboding behind the bundled-up reporter. Wyck grabbed the remote from Kagan’s hand and turned up the volume before pulling up a nearby armchair. “Isn’t that the club from last night?”

“Yep. Their business is toast after this,” Xander said, his focus fixed on the TV.

“Somebody mention toast?” Chago stretched out on the third sofa seat. “I’m starving!”

“You’re an idiot.” Kagan scooted to accommodate Chago. “Toast describes your brain.”

“What? I need fuel.” Chago got up and walked to the kitchen. He rummaged through the cabinets, only to return with a disgruntled expression. “Wyck, don’t you ever buy food?”

Wyck shrugged. “Not here much, mate. I prefer to eat out.”

Zoe’s snort of derisive laughter rang out from the kitchen. All eyes turned toward her and she blushed then resumed filling the teakettle at the sink.

“Everyone shut up!” Xander yanked the remote from Wyck’s hand and turned the volume louder when the report went live.

“Police discovered a bizarre scene after receiving an anonymous tip of numerous bodies hidden inside this Chicago nightclub. Upon entering The G Spot shortly after six this morning, officers found twelve mutilated corpses, all in various states of undress and restrained with a variety of bondage equipment. Authorities have secured the scene and are asking people to avoid the area until crews can complete a thorough investigation. No suspects have been taken into custody at this time.”

The camera panned the spectators, and the lens caught a glint of chestnut curls near the club’s entrance. Xander turned to Kagan with an accusatory stare. “Mira’s there?”

“So is Argus.” Kagan said, his tone tight. “I’m going to retrieve her and thought you might want to come along.”

Wyck sat forward, squinting at the screen. “Bloody hell. They’re back!”

“Who’s back?” Xander frowned, transferring his gaze from Kagan to Wyck to the black-suited figures scattering the crowd. With a loud curse, he jumped to his feet and stalked away. “We need to get to the crime scene now!”

Kagan followed him. Wyck remained silent, switching channels with the remote while keeping one ear trained on the conversation behind him. He might be the Scion’s resident technology expert, but sometimes being an effective warrior required other forms of stealth.

Xander grabbed his coat and checked his weapons. “Why the hell did you allow Mira to go alone? She’s your responsibility.”

“I didn’t allow her to do anything. She was gone when I got up this morning.”

Wyck sat back, taking in the show with a healthy dose of amusement. It was about time textbook-perfect Kagan let loose. He slid
