When Nathan comes in, he's grim, grimmer than I've seen him before. If him and the Grim Reaper were standing in the room together, I think I'd be more afraid of Nathan, the way he looks right now. “Peter is on to me.”

“Well, let's just add some good news to the pile,” Andrea gripes, holding her gun and trying to get comfortable with the grip. It's the smallest pistol I have. Katrina's been working with her, giving her a quick lesson on how to use it. I want to help out, but I still don't trust myself around Andrea, my attraction is just too strong. “How do you know?”

“First off, he lied to me, saying that he was sending his men out to Mobile like I had fed him,” Nathan says, coming in and sitting down. Melissa shifts over to sit next to him, and I can see the look on her face. She's being brave so far, but the presence of the deadly ex-Green Beret is helpful to her, and she draws comfort from having him around. “But more worrisome was that after you guys contacted me, I tried calling him three times. He's not picking up. He has never rejected a call from me, not in all the years I have worked for him.”

“He could just be with a girl,” Melissa offers, and Nathan shakes his head. “Why?”

“Because I have interrupted him mid... well, mid-session before, and he has never said a thing about it,” Nathan says, aware that BA has woken up and is looking around the room, her eyes intent. She seems to understand that the adults are all tense, and she's trying to figure out what's going on, too. “Good idea though, Melissa, but for over a decade when I called, Peter was right there.”

Melissa nods, and I can see in her eyes she's really trying to do what I asked her to do. “Okay. So what do you want us to do, Nathan?”

Nathan gives her a measured look, then looks around at the rest of us. “Are the rest of you on board?”

I look at Jackson and Katrina, who nod immediately. All eyes go to me, and I take a deep breath, then nod as well. “You're the expert. Tell us how we get through this.”
