Chapter Ten – George

His day at work had been very productive. And short.

George picked up his briefcase, and headed out to the reception desk, where a surprised face looked up at him. “Going home, Mr. Lancaster?”

“I am, Cherry,” George replied.

“I can’t remember the last time you left before me,” Cherry said. “It makes me feel so much better.”

“You work hard, Cherry, and I expect you have a family waiting for you at home.”

“No, unless you count my three cats. Mr. Cherry left a couple of months after the children flew the nest,” she admitted.

“That must have been tough,” George said.

“Not really, we only had the kids in common come the end of it. When they left, we both knew our marriage was never going to last.”

“Well, have a good evening anyway.” George thought over what Cherry had shared. He was lucky enough to know he would never tire of Poppy. But would she tire of him? Once Charlie, and any other children they had, grew up, he would lose any leverage to make her stay.

He would end up a lonely dragon, and no amount of cats was going to make that any easier. He had to make Poppy want to spend the rest of her life with him.

He smiled at himself as he rode the elevator down to the parking lot. He needed to change the inner dialogue in his head. He couldn’t make Poppy do anything, he was fairly certain of that. But what he could do was earn her love, try to show her he was a nice guy.

That would only work once the past was dealt with. Or more specifically, the man she had stolen the dagger for. He knew the connection now. Leaving the elevator and going to his car, he placed his briefcase on the passenger seat and patted it.

All the information he had was here. It told him exactly why Poppy had not shared with him the name of the person who she was stealing the dagger for—her brother, Braxton Madison. The only thing it didn’t tell him was why. Why did her brother want it? Or whom was he working with?

He’d instructed his private investigators to look into the brother’s known associates, but so far there was no direct link to another dragon clan. Which meant that there was likely money involved. A dragon clan had paid Brax to steal the Heartsfire Blade. Brax had used his sister to steal it.

Which brought him around to his favorite piece of information. Poppy Madison was not a career criminal. His family name would not be tarnished by the blood of a thief who stole for personal gain.

In fact, Poppy was the opposite. Or had been. Before she disappeared, and she had disappeared approximately four months after the Heartsfire Blade was stolen, around the time her baby bump would have been harder to hide, she had been employed by companies all over the world to do security assessments.

Those assessments included testing the defenses of some of the biggest national and international companies, private individuals, and government facilities.
