Chapter Fourteen

Kaylee changed clothes as fast as possible and went to her office, afraid of being home with Shadowman. Nathan had texted but she refused to answer it, not wanting anything to do with the strange man.

Shadowman backed off when she left her apartment and went to her workplace, and she paused when she walked in the door of the law offices.

When he was around, she hated his oppressiveness. When he wasn’t …

She felt like someone was watching her. Instead of standing over her, he was keeping his distance. Waiting for something. Like some sort of predator in the forest, watching its prey.

“Hi, Kaylee. Any word from Mike?” Linda called from the reception desk.

“Um, no. Not yet.” Kaylee shook off the feeling and smiled at Linda, continuing to her small office. She checked Mike’s office for signs he’d been there at all and grew more frustrated.

Where was he?

Returning to her office, she sat and stared at the computer screen. There were days when she didn’t mind being in her office and days she couldn’t stand it. Today was one of the latter. There were folders of cases requiring research on her desk and a dozen unopened emails, and all she could think about was Nathan.

Why hadn’t she called the police? Because she found him attractive? Because he spoke complete nonsense about being a psychic?

Because he proved he had some unique gift and pulled a memory from her mind?

She covered her face with her hands, exhausted from the night before and stressed about the Shadowman. Whatever was going on, there was some supernatural influence. It was impossible for her to ignore.

It centered on a fallen guardian angel that happened to be assigned to her. The only person who might help was Nathan, a man who made her pulse soar and who scared her with his intensity.

The phone on her desk rang, jarring her from her thoughts. One button was lit up, indicating it was Linda. She pushed the speakerphone button.

“Kaylee,” Linda said. “Your eight o’clock is here.”

“Send them back,” she replied blandly. She tucked a curl behind her ear then glanced at her calendar.

She didn’t have an eight o’clock today.

Kaylee stood, dread in her stomach. She didn’t know who was going to walk through her door, but she wasn’t expecting the tall, attractive brunette. Was she slipping? Should she know she had an appointment this morning?

Game face, Kaylee. She circled the desk and offered her hand.

“I’m Kaylee, Mr. Harrison’s assistant,” she said.

“Maggy,” said the brunette, shaking her hand. “I’m a colleague of Nathan Smith.”

Kaylee froze for a split second but managed to keep the forced smile on her face. She motioned to the chair in front of her desk. Nathan didn’t seem like someone who sent a messenger or someone else to do his job. Her gaze lingered on the door for a moment before she crossed to it. Leaning out, Kaylee spotted Nathan a few feet away.

He stood in the hallway, facing her door. If he was surprised she thought to look for him, he didn’t show it.
