Chapter Nine

Monday morning sucks; first I wake up cold and alone in my bed. Then I spill coffee down the front of my blouse and have to change which causes me to miss my train to work. I shoot Kegan a quick text letting him know I’ll be late. Rather than spending an hour in traffic, I walk to the office. I have an important meeting with Patrick this morning and can’t miss it.

Huffing and puffing with sweat dripping down my face ruining my makeup I exit the elevator. Sarah stops me, “Shauna! Mr. Love is waiting for you in your office.”

“Shit, how bad do I look?” I ask running my fingers through my hair and under my eyes. She shakes her head and makes a face telling me I look like roadkill. “Damn it,” I say taking a deep breath before opening my office door and stepping inside.

“Patrick, I’m sorry to keep you waiting,” I say setting my messenger bag on my desk.

“Kegan told me you were running late. How was your week with Maks?”

“It was good. I’m not sure his parents like me but we had a good time.”

Patrick nods, “Gennadi Volkov is a difficult man to read, but one thing I’m sure of is if he didn’t like you he wouldn’t be quiet about it.”

“That makes me feel better,” I say pulling my laptop from my bag. “Did you have time to look at the game?”

“I did. Lena loved the gnomes. Personally I feel it’s a little on the cutesy side, but no one will ever suspect it’s a communication program for the most powerful mafia family.”

“Are there any changes you would like to make?”

“No, it is perfect the way it is. Excellent job Shauna, thank you.”

“Thank you, Patrick,” I say as his phone rings.

Looking at the number he answers it quickly, “Lena what’s wrong?” I can’t hear what Lena says, but Patrick’s eyes grow wide, and worry overtakes his expression. “I’ll meet you there,” Patrick blurts before ending the call and standing.

“Is everything okay?”

“Lena’s water broke; Billy is taking her to the hospital now.”

“Go. She will need you.” Patrick sprints from the office to the stairwell passing Kegan on the way.

Standing in the doorway, Kegan asks, “What’s wrong with Patrick?”

“Lena’s water broke he’s on the way to the hospital.”

“Aw,” Kegan answers before taking the seat Patrick vacated. “Did he have any comments or request any changes be made to the game?”

“He said he it was too cute, but wanted no changes made.”

“Good, you can issue the codes to the members who need them. How was your trip?”

“So nice I didn’t want to come home.”

“Aren’t they always,” Kegan says standing. “I would sit in on the meeting, but it looks like there won’t be one. Call if you need anything.”

Kegan leaves, and I write a quick algorithm to generate the six-digit code needed to enter the secret garden. Working out a couple of glitches I get the code generater working. Then log into a secure VPN network and send the codes via Anon Email to ensure there is no Kinsman connection.
