Chapter Three
Layland took off his jacket, dropping it over the back of his chair before sitting down as he listened to his assistant, Flora, go over his schedule for the day. It sounded as if he was going to be in meetings for the entire day. It was rare that he got to go out on missions with his guys. Since he was in charge of the Boston Bureau office, he had a lot on his plate.
Currently, his guys were working on a case that bothered him. Layland enjoyed his job. Putting people who did terrible things behind bars was a pleasure, but there were some he'd love to do worse than putting them into jail. People like the Mickelbergs, a couple who was a part of a black-market trafficking group: buying and selling beautiful men and women to foreign countries that were out of their reach. While the Mickelbergs were small changes on a long list of subjects, they were predators.
Chapter Two
Silver peeked around the corner watching as Layland, if that was his real name, got in his car and drove off. Leaning back against the wall, he closed his eyes, hoping to stop his tears from falling.
That was so embarrassing. He couldn't keep living like this.
Once he was sure everyone who witnessed his embarrassment was gone, he stepped out of his hiding spot and started the thirty-minute walk home. Three weeks ago, Silver had to sell his car to pay for his mother's new medication and past and present hospital visits. A little over a year ago his mom, Avery, was diagnosed with stage three Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Chapter One
Layland walked down the supermarket aisle trying to figure out what to buy. He was going to Tucker and Lucas's home for dinner.
Since they got married three years earlier, Tucker and Lucas have been trying to get everyone in their world hitched and saddled with kids. It was as if they were working their way through the FBI. First, it was Erich Meadows who got married to Lucas's former assistant, Mathew Shaw, then Terry Anderson, who married one of their co-workers, Micheal Zong. The list was getting longer as the years went by and Layland appeared to be the odd man out, the one they were still having a hard time finding a match for.
