“Let’s get this out of the way first,” he motions towards the Intimidating building as we pull up in front of it. I don’t miss the twitch of a smile on his face though, and I can imagine he’s planning exactly what he will do after that talk. “Also, she is 19 in two weeks,” he adds, no longer able to hide his smile. 

We are quickly ushered from the car and into an interview room where one of the guys is waiting. 

“Good evening, I believe your name is Tucker, is that correct?” Deacon asks, his professional armour now firmly back in place. The guy nods with a scowl. 

“Great, now there are two ways we can do this. You can choose to answer my questions truthfully, or I can compel the information out of you. How would you like to proceed? Deacon asks. 

“Ask your questions,” Tucker juts his chin with a slight scrunch of his nose. 

“Very well, but I must warn you, my friend here is very good at detecting a lie, should he catch you in a lie he won’t hesitate to cut off your air supply,” Deacon explains, Tucker’s eyes move to me, assessing me before a toothy grin spreads over his face. 

“This weasel doesn’t have the juice,” he laughs for barely a second before I cut off his oxygen with barely any effort. I could tear his head clean from his body with my current power level. This is nothing to me now. His eyes bulge and I release my hold when he begins turning purple. He sucks in huge breaths and Deacon waits for him to recover a little before he begins his questioning. 

“What do you know about the Spark bond?” he asks. 

“What? Why are you asking me about that? It’s a myth,” Tucker frowns. So he’s definitely not high up in the ranks or he would be aware it’s been activated. 

“Tell me what you were doing in the human realm last night,” 

Tucker glances in my direction nervously and I grin at him, ‘We were sent to pick up one of the orphans, I’ve been trying to find him for weeks. We were about to leave the club because I couldn’t find him and then he just appeared there on the dance floor as if fate was pointing him out to us,” 

“What were you going to do with him when you found him? 

“Deliver him back to the client,” he shrugs, “whatever would have happened after that is above my paygrade,” 

“So you were hired to find him?” 

“Yes,” 

“Who hired you?” Deacon asks. 

“No idea, my partner and I offer an anonymous service, cash on delivery. No names, no faces, no questions,” he says proudly and I wish he was lying because I want to wipe that smug look off of his face. 

“Is everything you’ve told me the truth?” Deacon asks, his words laced with power this time. 

“Yes,” 

“Well this was a waste of time,” I sigh and stand to leave. 

“Thank you for your time, we are done here,” Deacon says and follows me out of the room. He lets the guards know we are done and we get back into the car. “Let’s wait to see if we can pull anything from the numbers found on their phones but this seems like a dead end,” he says once the car starts moving. I message Theo to let him know we are on our way back and he responds with a picture of Josie asleep on her bed, her cheeks look flushed
