LAW

“Well, well, well, look at what the cat dragged in…”

“That’s a terrible saying, Connie.”

She lifted one delicate shoulder in a shrug with a sunny smile. “A lot of things are terrible sayings, but that doesn’t make them any less true.”

I raised an eyebrow at her but said nothing, walking across the anteroom to her desk. “I’m glad you’re in a good mood,” I said. Connie was...lighter somehow. She was a calm and collected woman, but I knew she was prone to severity. I’d seen her joke and smile, been on the receiving end of both from time to time, but Connie was usually business. If she was making use of bad sayings and smiling at me there was a reason.

“What can I say? I woke up on the right side of the bed today.”

“There’s a reason. What is it?” I asked without disguising my curiosity. There was no need to hide anything from an old friend like Connie, and even if I tried she would figure me out if she had the motivation to do so. And besides, I had fuck all to hide here. The Cairn was one of the few places I let my guard down, and Connie was chief among those that I chose to be myself with.

If I was curious about her good mood there was no point in hiding it.

Connie leaned back in her chair, a huge monstrosity of angles and iron that I knew she would claim was avant-garde but just looked...uncomfortable. She somehow sat as unbothered and serene as any one had the right to. She shifted, one hand going to the iron armrest and drummed a red painted nail against the metal with a light tap.

“Oh, maybe because a person of interest has checked in. You know how I have my favorites.”

“Is that so?”

She nodded. “Well, she’s a favorite of mine but she’s caught Zeus’ eye. So you know how that goes.”

My eyebrows went up. “Zeus?” I asked, unable to hide the surprise in my voice. “I thought he was just a front to keep the masses in line.”

“A front? Like he isn’t real?” She asked, and I knew it was time to hide a little something from Connie. When Zeus came into play, there was always something to hide even when it came to a man like me. I was no fool.

“Never really crossed my mind that he was real,” I lied.

She smirked. “Now why would you think he isn’t real?”

“No one has ever seen him, that’s why.”

“Oh, plenty of people have seen him. But they’re all smart and follow directions like good boys and girls.” She rose from her seat and motioned for me to follow her. “This way, Law. I’ve got your rooms ready.” She was clearly done with our conversation.

Interesting.

Who the fuck had ever seen Zeus? The club had been around since the 80’s and I’d heard Zeus had never been spotted, even though this was his domain. It was a classic mob move. Keep the King
