Chapter 17: Left Behind

*The evening of Kade and Jamison’s departure from the manor and the hours that followed*

On Kade’s request, Maya left the office in a quick stride. Jamison had made it sound like Tiago’s condition was worse than Jamison’s had been just days prior. Maya knew she could trust their boss’ safety in Jamison’s hands alone. Even if she was unsure of how well their young Don was holding up. He was very good at masking whatever was going on in his head, but she knew better than to assume that someone who had just lost their parents so suddenly would be totally immune to the emotions that would invoke. The shoes Kade had to fill and with little preparation, she could only imagine the amount of pressure he was under.
