Chapter Fourteen

Bas remained silent as they’d reached his safe house north of town. The onetime government lab had proved to be a perfect place to set up his St. Louis headquarters.

Not only was the building heavily reinforced, it also had a built-in security system and several levels constructed underground, including one that had once been used as a bomb shelter.

Once he’d taken over the property he’d only increased the layers of protection around the building, using both magic and technology to turn it into an impregnable fortress.

Or at least he thought it was impregnable before Molly was stolen from him.

Struggling against the tidal wave of frustration that threatened to sweep him into madness, Bas headed through the sterile hallways painted institutional white with linoleum floors to the private elevator that led to the top floor.

Kaede remained closely at his side, monitoring his phone for incoming messages.

The warrior understood that Bas was waiting to ensure they had absolute privacy before discussing the latest fuckup in a long list of fuck-ups.

The elevator doors slid open and they stepped into a long room filled with top-notch computer systems, monitors, and a steel vault on the far side that was filled with special-force-grade weapons.

Two trained Sentinels rose to their feet at his unexpected entrance, but waving them back to the security cameras they were monitoring, he headed directly into the back office.

Placing his hand on the scanner, he waited for the door to slide open. He motioned Kaede to enter ahead of him, his brutal training refusing to allow him to have anyone at his back, even his most trusted warrior.

With a last glance over his shoulders at the monitor that displayed the front gate to ensure they hadn’t been followed, he stepped into the office and closed the door behind him.

Unlike his office at the Cavrilo International Building, this room was erected for comfort with glossy wooden floors and walls painted a soft ivory. There were built-in bookcases on either side of the window with a cushioned window seat built between them to look out the window at the wooded area at the back.

The perfect size for a young girl to sprawl on while she was looking through her picture books or playing with her dolls.

His breath was jerked from his lungs with a pain so fierce it nearly drove him to his knees.

With a grim determination, he forced his feet to carry him toward the large desk that dominated the center of the room, perching on the corner. Only when he was able to regain his composure did he meet Kaede’s knowing gaze.

“How widespread is the damage?” He got straight to the heart of their current trouble, his voice cold.

The only way to get through this was to lock away his emotions.

Kaede grimaced. “Extensive enough to attract media attention.”

Bas narrowed his eyes, sensing that was just the tip of the iceberg.

“What aren’t you telling me?”

He turned around his phone to display the image of a smoldering pile of tangled metal.

“A small plane crashed just a few miles from town.
