Chapter Thirteen

Sam was glad they reached the address Devin had given him before the sun had fully risen. He would’ve been surprised Devin had directed them to Gamespyr’s headquarters, his multi-billion video game empire, but several bullets had hit his body armor and he was feeling the effects. Pain pulsed through his chest, stealing his focus.

When they entered the private garage, he directed Orla where to turn. He’d only been down here once, but the access had been straightforward. Hidden behind wide pillars, a second garage door blended into the concrete walls. Orla almost hit the brakes, but the door slid up, allowing them entrance.

There was a small four-space parking area and an open door leading to a workspace and small room. Once the car stopped, his ribs settled, and Sam hoped that meant nothing was broken. He’d know for sure once he was able to get out of his suit and check them properly.

Before he could put his hand on the door handle, Orla was there, helping him out and sliding her shoulder under his arm for support.

Sam wasn’t that unsteady, but something softened inside him at her gesture and the concern in her eyes. She gave him the briefcase, and they made their way inside the secured zone.

He spotted Devin standing by his computer, rapidly typing code before turning his attention to them. His expression contained annoyance and anger until he saw them and rushed forward. “Damn, man! Are you all right? Did the bullets penetrate?”

Sam didn’t have time to answer before Devin produced a chair and made him sit.

Orla looked at Devin with a frown, probably sifting through a catalog of faces until he saw it click. “You’re Devin Curtis, right?”

Sam glared at her question although he knew she couldn’t see his face. Devin didn’t say anything and unhooked the upper part of his suit until he had a clear view of his torso. As Sam drew a deeper breath free from his armor, he knew what he’d see were bruises. His ribs were tender, but as he relaxed and the pain lowered a notch, it didn’t feel as if anything was broken.

Devin leaned back on his haunches and exhaled. “Damn, man. You had me scared for a minute. Do you know how many times you were hit? You’re going to resemble the purple Teletubby in an hour or so.” And then his friend turned to Orla. “I hope you, and what you know are worth it, lady. For your sake.”

Sam smiled at Devin’s vehement tone. They were a team composed of people working on the other side of the law, but they were a tight unit.

Orla wasn’t the type of woman to cower when accused, not even when she was at a disadvantage. “Hey! I’m in the same fucking boat as you guys. And at least I’m doing it officially; you’d better think again before accusing me of having ulterior motives or not being all in. Especially since I know who you are.”

Devin unfolded his tall frame until he towered over Orla.
