Chapter 26

Morgan stood next to the car, away from the road. The air was brisk and the highway relatively calm, with only an occasional car or truck racing by. He smiled. The less witnesses the better. The driver of the vehicle he had hit—a rather large man—got out of the car.

“Are you some kind of an asshole?” the burly man asked, slamming the car door shut. He stood somewhere around six-foot-five, was broad-shouldered and had a military style haircut. A small earpiece extended from the man’s ear to the side of his cheek.

Morgan remained where he was, sizing up the scene. The agent riding shotgun remained in the car. Why had two cars pulled over if the passenger wasn’t going to get out and continue on with the group? Damn, if the other car didn’t leave, he was going to have quite a fight on his hands. If only vampire blood could be made into a powder form, like milk—easy to carry and no refrigeration needed.

“You deaf?” the man howled.

“Sorry about that,” Morgan said, glancing around. He’d made a mistake by pulling in front of the car he’d hit, letting the other agent-occupied vehicle sandwich him in. He was in the middle, the worst place to be for someone without eyes in the back of their head. “No need to get hostile and raise our voices. It’s only an accident and thank goodness no one was hurt.” The agent let out a long breath, clearly trying to remain calm, but not doing a good job.

Through gritted teeth, the agent asked, “Are you going to just stand there like a fuck-sack or give me your information so we can move this along?”

The man held out his hand.

Morgan tried to keep a straight face, but the word fuck-sack was too funny. He grinned.

“You think this is funny?” the man growled, his face reddening. “Do you know who I am?”

“Some angry oversized accountant,” Morgan said. “I’m waiting for the police.” Morgan needed to stall, hoping that if he took enough time the lead car would leave.

“Listen, piss-head,” the big man said, taking a step forward. “I ain’t waiting for the cops. Give me your info and I’ll get in touch with you.” The man seemed like he was trying hard not to explode. He obviously had anger management issues.

Morgan shook his head. “Had this happen once before. The guy claimed a lot more damage than what I caused. Nope, going to do this by the book.” Morgan crossed his arms over his chest, showing that he wasn’t going to budge.

The agent’s cheek muscles bulged and his nostrils flared. The man’s big fingers formed fists. He started forward, clearly no longer able to control himself.

Morgan had hoped to buy some time, but wound up infuriating the guy instead.

The agent came within a foot of Morgan and cocked his arm back, ready to swing, only to freeze. The man’s eyes narrowed as he put a hand to his earpiece.

“Sir?” he said, pausing, becoming a completely different person.
