Chapter 51

STRIKER

“Welcome back, Cade. How’s your honeymoon?” Linden gave me a brotherly hug with a back clap.

“Thanks, and too short. I feel like I can still use another week, but I have a lot of things to do. How’s everyone?”

“Sax and Kye are busy with their job. Others on assignment. That leaves me here alone.”

I sat across his desk. “What’s the latest?”

“He’s under surveillance.”

“Are you sure he doesn’t know it yet?”

“No. I don’t think he is aware, or he’s just too confident that no one will recognize her in New York with his new identity as a woman.”

“That’s good.”

“But I think he’s intimately involved with Magnus.”

I stared at Linden in shock. “What made you say that?”

“Magnus visited him twice in four days and left in the morning.”

“Magnus is gay?”

“Not necessary. He sees Ivy as a woman, so Magnus is straight.”

“I don’t know how London will react to this?”

“How’s she, by the way?”

I sighed.
