CHAPTER 13

He gassed the engine, flying down the highway for miles until they hit the LoDo section of Denver. They didn’t even drive a mile beyond the interstate before they were idling at the wrought-iron gate of the Den as two security guards approached. Their eyes glowed shifter red. Beta wolves, and with their buzzed haircuts, he recognized a pair of jarheads when he was confronted with their Semper Fi seriousness.

“May we help you?”

“Drake O’Connor and guest. We have an appointment.”

The guards didn’t miss a beat and stoically asked for their identification. The first guard pressed the button on his mic connected to a headpiece, advising the front office of their arrival. Whatever was relayed, the guard reacted by straightening as he trained his eyes on them, nodding. “Roger that.”

If he knew anything about Shay, it was that she was intractable if she got an idea into her beautiful head—like justice against that cocksucker Necrodemas—and for her sake, he had to figure a way to reach out to his own family.

“Yep. I see the duality of do as I say, not as I do, but not from Shawn. He should get that about me. He made a mistake and he needs to man up about it.”

“Just give him the opportunity without getting on your soapbox,” he murmured.

The fact that they had a room on the spur of the moment was no small feat. Someone had done some down and dirty rescheduling. At the front door, there were several sentinels dressed in all black.
