Cole punched the elevator button multiple times, cursing all the way. The helicopter had arrived a few minutes ago and he hadn't been there to meet Jacob McMaster.
He hadn't been allowed. Upon going to the security office he'd been told to stay in the hotel lobby, far from the landing pad and from any contact with the businessman. There was no doubt the snub was intentional and meant to show how displeased the elder McMaster was with the situation, despite Kat's retrieval.
But his exile wasn't permanent.
He was going to see David Keller, his superior. David had flown in with the elder McMaster to deal with—Cole mentally quoted from the text message—"the incident". Cole wasn't sure if it referred to the kidnapping or his relationship with Kat, but there was only one way to find out.
