He brushed past Beast and headed for the driver’s side. Beast stormed toward Marcus, ready to wring Lance’s neck if he made one false move.
“Hey, sweetheart,” Marcus said in the friendliest voice. “What does Mr. Blight have you doing?”
“I swear I didn’t want to do this.” Lance got out of his car. “He made me. He barked the order at me, and I ran for my car. I saw you get into that Charger, and then I followed you. Do you mind if I go into the store and get some snacks? I missed breakfast.”
Lance was so nonthreatening that he should have been a kitten. Beast leaned against the guy’s car and crossed his arms. Talon moved next to him. “Should we tackle him and pat him down?”
Beast rolled his eyes. “Because he’s a pipsqueak assassin.”
Talon chuckled. “You never know. Just because he’s pocket-sized doesn’t mean he’s all sweet and innocent.”
“We’re going into the store for snacks,” Marcus said. “We’ll be quick.”
“Oh my god,” Lance whispered to Marcus. “They’re so big. I thought I was a goner.”
Marcus took Lance’s hand and led him inside. Beast narrowed his eyes at how friendly they were and couldn’t understand why he was so jealous.
“I think I need some chips.” Talon smirked. “Interrogating pipsqueak assassins works up an appetite.”
“You didn’t say shit to him,” Beast replied.
“I glared at him.” Talon walked into the store.
Beast didn’t like the fact that Marcus’s boss was having him followed. The human needed to keep his nose out of this.

“I was sent a very disturbing video this morning,” Eleazar said when Rayne answered the phone.
“I don’t care about your porn habits.” Rayne leaned back in his chair. “It’s bad enough I know you like candlelight baths.”
“One day I’m going to mount your pelt on my wall,” Eleazar snarled.
Rayne growled. “One day I’m going to smile as I make you walk into the sun, you son of a bitch.”
“I just sent you the video. Watch it, mutt.”
After Rayne hung up, he played the video. He shot forward as he watched Beast rip a vampire’s heart out. Goddamn. Who in the hell recorded this? Rayne needed to find the person. If this video got out…Jesus.
He called Beast, his anger boiling over.
“Hey, Rayne.”
“We have a problem. How were you in an alley next to Club Lure when you were supposed to be tailing Nelo?”
There was dead silence.
“Answer me,” Rayne growled.
Beast told him how Marcus had called him and what had happened afterward. “He fucking drugged the guy, Rayne. What was I supposed to do, let him die?”
Rayne cursed. “No, you did the right thing. But it was recorded.”
“How do you know about the recording?” Beast asked.
“How do you know about it?” Rayne countered.
Beast explained about Marcus’s boss.
