Chapter 1

I bet I can report this as harassment, I said to myself as I slid the phone back in my pocket.

My deadline for the book I was writing was getting close and my publisher kept sending me emails to remind me about it. As if I could ever forget.

The fact was that I had gotten them used to having my manuscripts way early but, this time I needed every hour in the contract. I was still editing the book.

Oh, you’re here, I heard Smith from behind. Release her, Dylan. I need her alive and well.

The younger man pouted, but obeyed. I thanked Smith for his help and followed him into his office.

So, how have you been? Smith asked, pointing to a chair for me to sit.

Pretty good. I’m catching up with my manuscript but aside from that, everything is fine.

Good, good. How are things with James?

What’s up with that weird tone? I asked myself, but chose not to say it aloud. "Fine. We’re
