Chapter Eleven

It took another ten minutes to get Trevor inside. Luke escorted him in. Picked him up at the curb and made him wear a blindfold as they drove.

After all the security fanfare Trevor stood in front of the conference-room table, clearly outraged at his treatment, and folded the black material down from his eyes. “Was that really necessary, gentlemen?”

Zach felt a nerve on the back of his neck twitch. He hated being this close to Trevor. Worse, having the other man this close to Sela. “It was either that or shoot you for trespassing.”

“Well, then, I guess I should thank you for letting me in.” Trevor motioned for them to sit as if he owned the place. Luke and Zach ignored him.

“We’ll stand.” Zach would rather kick the other man, but he settled for hovering over him. They were in control here, no matter what Trevor believed.

Keeping with his power play, Trevor pulled out a chair and sat down. He looked Zach up and down, taking in the bandage and more than a few cuts and bruises. “What happened to you?”

“I fell down.”

“How many times?” Trevor touched his finger to his nose. “And did you land in a gallon of gasoline?”

Luke took over. “You’ve proven your point, Trevor. You know where we are. Congratulations on your investigative skills. It only took you six months to find the deed.”

He held up his hands in mock surrender. “There is no need for sarcasm. I come in peace.”

“That has never been my experience,” Luke said.

Trevor brushed his hand over his obviously expensive suit pants. “We have a deal.”

“And I am just itching for you to break it.”

Luke’s disinterested tone contrasted with what Zach knew was going on inside him. Zach felt it, too. Nerves pinged and crawled. They’d spent so many days trying to catch Trevor and he’d walked right up to their door and handed himself over.

It took all of the internal strength Zach had not to rip the walls apart with his bare hands. Bruised or not, he knew he had the power to do it.

“Maybe we can talk alone…or are there other ears listening in?” Trevor made a show of looking around the place.

With each condescending word Zach’s control inched closer to snapping. Sela was right there and could break away from Adam and come down the stairs. Trevor could do anything or have one of his goons stage an attack. Zach itched with the restless feel of vulnerability, even though he knew that was Trevor’s goal.

Luke crossed his arms in front of him, matching Trevor’s calm demeanor. “Since you previously decided to storm my house with armed guards, I have to keep a contingent there at all times.”

Trevor waved the comment off. “That’s in the past.”

“Maybe, but I’m getting a little tired of cleaning up the dead bodies you leave behind on your informal missions. I can only go the feds and the police so many times on a need-to-know basis before people will start thinking I don’t get along well with others.
