Chapter Seventeen

We opted to meet the O Squad out front of the building rather than in the garage. From what we’d seen on the monitor, their truck wouldn’t fit inside anyway.

Zeus pushed his way through to stand in front of us when Mark opened the kitchen door. He regarded the approaching vehicle with suspicion. His nose told him that twenty men were inside. All of the occupants were human, but he wasn’t going to trust any of them. He’d been a trained guard dog before he’d joined our team and he was even more vigilant now. He’d encountered too many dangerous people and creatures to become complacent.

The truck pulled up and the driver climbed out. Tall, blond and blue-eyed, he was a shorter version of my father right down to his rigid stance and short haircut. Mark sent a warning glance at Kala when her lips curved upwards in automatic appreciation.

“Agent Steel, it’s good to see you again,” Kendricks said and offered his hand.

“Agent Kendricks, I’m glad you and your team could arrive so quickly.” The pair shook hands as the rest of the team disembarked from the decidedly intimidating armored truck.

Nineteen men lined up in a neat row behind their boss. All were fit, well-armed and no doubt deadly. Their hard eyes told me that they were killers. Kala and I shared a quick glance. We were the most dangerous team in the Paranormal Investigation Agency, but these guys gave us pause. It made me wonder what their true purpose was.

Mark pointed to Kala. “This is Agent Kala Walker.” Kendricks’ eyes lingered on her a trifle longer than was necessary before moving to me. “And this is Agent Alexis Levine.”

His brows rose at hearing my surname. “I heard Major Levine’s daughter was working for the PIA. I take it you’re her?”

I heaved an internal sigh at the question. My father’s fame was well-known. “I am.”

“Are you anywhere near as good with a gun as he is?”

Mark answered for me. “Lexi isn’t as good as Philip. She’s better.” Incredulous looks swept through the all-male squad and I turned to him in shock. No one had ever made that claim before.

“Good or not, she’s young and untrained,” Kendricks said. “I’ll want proof of her skills before I’ll allow her to come along.” I was still new to the team and I didn’t have the same level of training as Mark and Kala. It was only natural that he’d be skeptical of my talents and ability to handle myself during a mission.

“Grab your rifle,” Mark told me.

“She can use mine,” one of Kendricks’ men offered. His boss gestured for the man to step forward and took his sniper rifle from him. He handed it to me, clearly expecting it to be too heavy for me. Hefting it, I held it up to my shoulder and looked down the scope. It was different from my custom made rifle, but I’d used something similar before and I wouldn’t have any trouble operating it.

“We have a range at the back of the compound,” Mark said.
