The Reborn (The Day Eight Series Part 1) - Plot & Excerpts
His eyes saw the words, but his brain wasn’t processing them. Each time he flipped a page, he used it as an excuse to look up and steal another glance at the two gray-suited men standing outside Valarie’s door like sentinels. They wore earpieces and their jackets bulged. There had been a dark truck outside and two other similarly suited men at the building entrance. They’d frisked him, and rather roughly at that. He had wanted to ask what was going on, but couldn’t get the words out. Instead, they’d been the ones asking the questions, and finally let him go up when they verified he had an appointment. Today, even the secretary seemed distracted from her game of computer solitaire. The sentinels stood, still as steel beams. Occasionally one looked directly at Trevor, then re-assumed a constant survey of the room. Some kind of bodyguards? They both wore little gold pins on their lapels. The pins were five-pointed stars with snub tips, like miniature deputy stars. Soon the door opened to the inner office; one bodyguard flanked it while the other immediately secured the office exit.
