[5: BRUISED MY HEART]

SO HE HAD FOUND HIS dragonfly again.

It had taken some work—oh, some work indeed, finding the right ears to whisper in, to nibble, to kiss; the right questions to ask; the right logical deductions. And how clever his Jamjali was, wrapping himself up in high strong walls surrounded by cameras, FBI agents, so many protections. As if that would make him safe. As if that would hide him from searching eyes.

He should really know better.

Sila balanced on a fence several hundred yards away from the FBI building, swinging his feet between the slats and curling his hands to either side of his hips. He’d met Seong-Jae on a fence just like this one, dragonfly perched with his wings poised and trembling and ready to escape. That fence had been older, more rusted, bordering an abandoned lot. This one was newer, smoother, bordering a walking path that looked down over a hill with a view of the city’s aesthetics.

And when Sila lifted a pair of binoculars he’d stolen from the last man he’d left panting and sated after he’d given Sila a hot meal and a little more information, a few more rumors about the odd new rookie cutting a swathe through the archived cold cases…

He could see everything.

And he saw Seong-Jae, tall and lean and so very strong now, his hair wild, all in black, sleek and beautiful and golden-pale. To either side of him…a man. A woman. The woman a redhead in a slim skirt suit, the man a rake of a thing with a sidesweep of dark brown hair and tanned skin that looked more naturally gifted than sun-kissed. They focused on Seong-Jae, watching him as if watching a son they adored, but there was something between them, too. A connection that tangled to link them; a subtlety in the way they were aware of each other’s presences, the space they took up, the distance between them.

Well, well now…

This could be interesting.

Sila watched as the three of them settled into a sleek black SUV together, Seong-Jae in the back seat like the good little boy he was. Then Sila lowered the binoculars, smiling as he watched the tiny ant of the car pull away from the parking garage.

He had only meant to find his dragonfly, perhaps entertain himself, pass a little time. But this…

This opportunity was too good to pass up.

He could use this.

Use them.

Use them all up…until he had everything he needed, and once he set events in motion?

Nothing would stop this train from crashing to its inevitable—and incredible—end.
