Second Assault — Bond And Treason —

Chapter 10 - Unexpected Help

ALEXEI

—I don't know, but sure as hell I'll find out.

Without giving him time to respond, I turn on my heels and leave the office in a hurry. Fuck, if I find out that Reiji is somehow involved with Xander's kidnapping, I don't know how I'll react or what his fate will be once he's in my claws. I turn one of the corners and I feel Fredek right on my back. The last thing I want is for him to be present, however, I don't want to waste any more time than I already have.

It's been almost five days since Xander's been in constant danger and I can't afford to let the hours go by any longer. So I keep moving, when at that moment I feel the phone vibrating inside my jacket. I think about ignoring it at first, but maybe it's to give me some information about Xander's whereabouts, so I finally give up.

The screen announces that it's Vasily, one of my guards. I'm surprised by his call, so I stop halfway through with Fredek still by my side and quickly pick up the phone.

—What, Vasily?

—"Mr. Magnus, there's an Angelo Dalaras at the entrance asking to see you". Shit, just what I needed... Angelo and his fucking surprise visits.

—Why are you calling me? — I'm demanding, the last thing I need right now is more distractions —. Did you think to tell Yaakov?

—"It was the first thing I did. But the boss is not in The Mansion and he gave me orders not to let anyone in, unless I have your permission.

—Wait — I put the phone on my shoulder to cover the speaker, as I ask to Fredek —. Where the hell is Yaakov?— my eyebrows furrowed, the words run through my clenched teeth.

—I don't know, last time I saw him was a couple of hours ago, with Lev in the kitchen. Why? — questions in confusion —. What's going on?

—Angelo Dalaras is here again. I don't know what his fucking insistence is, but he's getting on my nerves.

—Do you know what he wants?

—No, but it's probably to insist again that I join him.
