LAZARUS "How could this happen? Where the hell is she?" I demand, my eyes taking on a feral look as I wait for someone to give me answers. The room is filled with my most trusted advisors and friends. Benjamin with his plate hanging to his chin, Malcolm with his usual smile absent, Jayden with his arms closed and as always silent, lastly Malcolm solemn at the end of the conference table. Then there is the woman who owns me, body and soul. They all glance around looking at each other, waiting for somebody to answer what they do not know. I'm barely keeping my temper in check. These are the best of the best! The best spies, the best warriors… How could she just simply disappear without anyone seeing or knowing anything? What of the men who were supposed to guard her and protect her? Jayde
