Deacon was grateful for the rest. He settled on the straw and stared at the kittens while trying to figure out how to begin the conversation. Glancing up, he found Priest staring at him through a narrow-eyed gaze. He knows. “Have you been to the hardware store lately?”

Priest slowly nodded his head in understanding. “Yeah, bought a box of shells earlier today as a matter of fact.” He sat there for several moments before jumping to his feet.

Deacon braced himself, prepared for whatever Priest threw his way. In a surprising move, Priest stalked over to Deacon and dropped to his knees. “You saved Luke’s life. If there’s ever anything, and I mean anything, you need, I’ll be there.”

“Glad to see you’re not angry.” Deacon lightly jabbed Priest with his cane. “But get up, you’re making me nervous.”

It was as if Priest hadn’t realised what he’d done. With a loud grunt, he got to his feet.

“You ever tell anyone I did that, I’ll deny it.”

Deacon grinned. It seemed Priest wasn’t as untouchable as everyone in the agency believed. It was nice to see the black giant had a soft spot, even if it was only for Luke. Once again, Deacon worried about bringing Aaron into the dangerous world he lived in. He’d already told Midnight he was planning to quit. Maybe it was time to make that trip to Washington. “As soon as Midnight returns, he’ll take over my position. In the meantime, I have to deal with the formality of handing my resignation directly to the President. I’d appreciate it if you could keep an eye on Aaron while I’m gone.”

Priest nodded. “Just tell me when.”

“I’ll let you know.” Deacon watched Groucho tackle one of the others. “Groucho’s gonna be a handful, I can tell already.”

“Groucho?” Priest shook his head. “At least it’s more original than Tabby.”

“Tabby came to me as a stray. I didn’t know how long she’d stick around so I didn’t want to get too attached. After a while, the name stuck and so did she.” Deacon reached down and scooped the kitten up. Groucho climbed Deacon’s chest and perched precariously on his shoulder.

Priest chuckled and tossed his empty bottle into the trashcan. “You look like a gay pirate.”
