CHAPTER 11

Kinsley

Breakfast had been nice, although it was anything but normal. Not that I really knew what normal was when it came to Draven. They might tell me I hadn’t interrupted something, but obviously, they forgot what I did for a living. I could read a room in seconds, and I knew they had been in a deep and serious conversation.

Apparently, one they didn’t want to include me in. That was fine. I wasn’t there for any other reason than what Damien and Draven hired me for. But the woman in me was curious. It was something I needed to control because if Draven wanted me to know, he’d tell me. I needed to respect his privacy just like I wanted him to respect mine.

TJ seemed to be our personal driver now because once again, we weren’t able to leave the resort without him. I kind of thought that was funny because we were going to see Reesa. She had plenty of security there. If I were alone, then I’d think no one trusted my ability to take care of myself. But since Draven was in the vehicle too, I didn’t take it personally.

“Will the Hendersons ever loosen up on their rules?” I asked.

“Are you talking about TJ?” he asked. I nodded. “I don’t know. It’s been like this since I got to Tabiq. From what I understand, it’s not as bad as when the resort first opened. At that time, it was a strict policy that no one was allowed off the property for any reason whatsoever. No sightseeing or even visiting the local shops. Now at least they can do so with a driver.”

“Feels more like a bodyguard but you can call it what you want.” Drivers don’t usually drive carrying two guns strapped to them under their jackets.

“It’s exactly that.”

We pulled into the parking lot and Draven got out first. He turned to me and said, “Looks like Finn and Bennett are here. Maybe our meeting has been canceled.” He pulled his cell phone out and dialed a number. “Hi, it’s Mr. Blaze and Miss Beck. I’m checking to see if President O’Connor is still available to meet with us.” I couldn’t hear what was being said, but Draven replied, “We’ll be right in.”

Looks like our plans will need to wait. But I was glad to be included in whatever the new development was.

Once inside we were escorted to a conference room where Bennett, Finn, and Shaun were already seated with Reesa.

“Please sit. We were just about to start,” Reesa instructed.

Finn started the meeting. “I have finished the autopsy. As suspected, no one had entered the room that wasn’t authorized to do so. The man did pass from a heart attack as I suspected.”

“That’s good, right?” Shaun asked.

Bennett shrugged. “It means no one got to him in the hospital. That’s all.”

That said something about the security they had. It worked. Well, if there was an actual threat. “Do you know if he was working with anyone?” I asked.
