“Caleb, tell Alexander to call off his dog pack, or else I can’t do my job,” Brody pleaded on the phone. He looked to the goon who was waiting for the chance to toss Brody out on his ass. “You’ll see, Alexander Okayed my presence,” he reiterated.
“Last instructions I had, was for us to toss you out if you show your face within Sanctuary,” the goon said, a smile of anticipation creasing his face. “I am just doing my job.”
Brody could see how much he wanted to do his job. “Yeah? Well join the club, buddy, that’s exactly what I am doing; you aren’t going to be the one to stop me.” Brody sighed with relief when he saw Alexander striding towards them. “Finally,” he whispered, as the pack sensed their Alpha’s approach.
“Alexander?”
“It’s okay, Franklin, I have okayed Mr. McNamara’s presence within the club tonight. Find Adam; he’ll explain everything.” Franklin gave Brody a look of disgust, but nodded to Alexander before moving away.
“Thank you,” Brody told him.
“I’m sure Caleb told you my rules.”
“Look man, I have no intention of going anywhere near Lorella,” Brody swore. “Hell, I wouldn’t have gone near her the last time if I hadn’t been so drunk. I’m just glad you’ve decided not to hold it against me anymore.”
“Oh, I didn’t say that Mr. McNamara. I have given you a pass for tonight, but understand this, I haven’t given you free access,” Alex growled.
“Oh Dude, come on. I swear, I didn’t know you guys were back together,” Brody whined.
“Doesn’t matter, what’s mine is mine and we’ll leave it at that,” Alexander told him.
“Look Alex, I have told you more than once, Lorella came onto me. I wouldn’t have touched her with a ten foot pole, but I was very, very drunk.”
“Enough, I’ve heard it all before, and quite honestly, I don’t care to hear it again. You’re here to do a job and nothing else, so why don’t we stick to that. Have you seen anything yet?”
Brody sighed, his frustration showing through, as he ran his fingers through his hair. One of these days he was going to figure out what Lorella was up to that night, and then he and Alexander were going to have it out, once and for all.
“Nothing with regards to our party crashers, but we have unexpected company, and Caleb wants me to watch over them,” Brody nodded in the girls’ directions.
Alexander looked at the familiar group, and then back to Brody, “And they are?”
“Those women are the missing sorceresses.”
“Seriously?” Alexander exclaimed with surprise. Brody nodded. “Well, this could make this evening interesting.”
“Why?” Brody asked.
“Those are the Cameron and Fletcher girls. Myrna Fletcher is one of my best waitresses. I’ve sensed nothing special about them, so assumed they’re your average human, and now you are telling me something different. I’m surprised; I can usually tell,” Alexander stated, taking a closer look at the women seated at the table across the way.
“According to Caleb, they are the ones. That’s all I know,” Brody stated.
“Alright, stay alert and stay ...”
“I know, stay away from Lorella. Believe me, I plan on it,” Brody told him.
“I was going say stay safe, but what you said works for me too.” Alexander turned and walked back down into his private area, leaving Brody on guard duty.
