Nick

March 28

Thursday morning

Nick scrubbedhis hand through his hair. Just great. He had a partner who apparently didn’t know the meaning of the words “low profile.”

He clenched his jaw as he leaned back in the chair of his home surveillance room. Blue light from the several computer screens was the only illumination in the room, which suited him just fine.

Just looking at one club in particular had him clenching his hands and ready to punch holes through the walls. He hadn’t been one to destroy property, but goddamn, just seeing the Diamond Castle made him want to go to the nightclub and tear the place apart. He wanted it so bad his palms itched.

Now he had a partner who could possibly have fucked things up unless RED had gotten the situation under control and kept what she’d done out of the media.

He felt a surge of frustrated anger. He didn’t need this shit. Not now.

Nick got up from his chair and headed toward his bedroom to change into his sneakers and shorts. He needed to go for a run. He’d be no good to anyone if he lost control.

He was too close to achieving his goal. And yes, he’d mow down anyone who got in his way, but he’d try to make sure that Lexi Steele was safely out of the way. However, not even she would have the power to stop him.
