Lindsey walked ahead of them as they approached what looked like a cave entrance from below. A lean man in a gray suit emerged and walked urgently toward her, pulling her into what looked for all the world like a genuine embrace, returned with, apparently, genuine enthusiasm.

Wade’s gut filled with acid as Kelly moved ahead of him and into his embrace. He felt Becky squeezing his waist, but it hurt to the core to see this stranger hugging his daughter.

He held onto them long enough for Elijah to have to wait, then released them and held out a hand.

“I’m Special Agent Everett Lang. You must be Elijah Wade.”

Wade shook. An annoyingly firm grip that spoke of confidence. He, after all, had what mattered most to Elijah in his power.

“Thank you for helping Kelly. And Lindsey,” he managed.

“Of course.”

Elijah resisted the temptation to wipe Lang’s self-satisfied smile off his smug face. Barely.

Lang’s gaze moved beyond him to where Becky stood.

“This is Becky Powell,” he said.

Lang didn’t offer his hand to her. “We may be able to use a detective,” he said. “But your particular talents are likely to be unneeded.”

“Now just a damn minute!” Wade said as Becky’s face flushed. “She’s the most resourceful person I know, and she’s going to be a hell of a lot more use in the new world than …” and at this point he nearly said something impossible to take back “people like you.”

“Elijah!” Lindsey snapped as Kelly shrunk behind her.

Lang put up his hands. “It’s okay. It’s been a hard period for all of us. As for Miss Powell, well, that will be up to others to decide. For now, I have arranged a temporary pass. And I don’t know about you, but that wind feels pretty cold. Shall we get inside and take it from there?”

Wade took hold of Becky’s hand, not caring about the venomous glance Lindsey shot them, and, together, they walked into the belly of the beast.
