You Can Never Walk Away

It was exactly eleven when Kegan saw Morse approaching. He leaned casually against the arch, calling out softly, “Good to see you again.”


Morse replied with a salute. “You made it.”


“Back? I told you I was on my way. Are you planning on staying down there? I’d rather not broadcast what I have to tell you to the world.”


“I feel the same,” Morse replied, although he didn’t move.


For a moment Kegan feared their plan was going to go south when Morse lifted his hand. He expected to see a gun. Instead, Morse used his hand to shield his eyes from the moonlight—Kegan thought—as he scanned the area. “You’re alone,” Morse said as he finally started up the stairs.


“Told you I would be,” Kegan replied laconically.


“And unarmed?” Morse asked, when he reached the step right below Kegan.


Kegan spread his arms. “Feel free to check.”


With a nod, Morse reached behind his back, pulled out a gun then stepped onto the terrace. “I think I will, just for safety’s sake,” he replied.
