Chapter 18
Sammyâs enthusiasm for loaning us his vehicle was so low that it wasnât measurable, but he relented in the end. It had taken some convincing, but eventually, heâd agreed that trying to take the T to Watertown to potentially confront a malicious wizard wasnât the best plan of attack. None of us truly believed Davit Sivaslian was anything more than a man interested in antiquitiesâ maybe a little too interested for his own good, but we had to start somewhere. Weâd waited for nightfall, then loaded up the Toyota and went on our way.
The Charles River cut a twisting snake-like swath through Watertownâs downtown area, curling south around Riverland Street. I navigated the Toyota along the same street, a chain link fence running alongside our path.
âFor the record, I am not okay with this.â I glanced in the rear view mirror at Indigo, who was sitting in the back seat, her knees pressed tight to her chest, her eyes scanning out the window. Weâd left a small residential neighborhood in our wake and approached what appeared to be a sprawling office park to the left, barricaded from the street by the eight-foot tall chain link fence, a cluster of brick and stone buildings sequestered on the other side.
âWith what?â Indigoâs voice was the essence of innocence.
âThis could be dangerous. You shouldnât be here.â
âYou said it yourself,â Indigo snapped in reply, âitâs probably nothing. And besides, youâre a glorified tabloid reporter. What do you think youâre going to do if things go sideways?â
I curled my fingers around the contoured steering wheel as I eyed the gap in the fence up ahead, a pully-mounted gate swung open to reveal the entrance to the park.
âShe has a point.â Troels looked over from where he was wedged tightly within the passenger seat.
âExcuse me?â
He turned toward me and extended a thick index finger, probing me in the midsection.
âYou have gotten soft, Angus. Evidently, you areâ enjoying your time away.â
Indigo snickered, earning herself a stabbing side eye into the rear view mirror. To our left, the office park spread out even further, a plentiful scattering of white moving trucks slotted into almost a dozen evenly spaced parking spots along the left side. The main office building itself was a three story monolith of sculpted brick, which looked over the trucks with a sort of mournful curiosity.
Near the entrance to the office park, a man stood, staring at us with suspicion from beneath the wide brim of a baseball cap. The logo of a third party security company was stitched onto the dark blue fabric of the cap and he held a clipboard firmly in his hands. As I steered the car toward the open fence, he stepped into the opening and lifted a hand, tilting his head at us.
âCan I help you?â He came around the driverâs side and I zipped down the window as he approached. âDo you have an appointment?â
âWe donât,â I replied, âI justâ Iâd like to speak with Mr. Sivaslian if heâs available.
