  My door opened, and I looked up from my blank glare of my deskpad. Seifer made a motion with his head while firmly stating "Fujin. Office. Now," before disappearing around the corner.

  Fujin. I slowly stood and unclenched my fisted hands. I stepped forward, and my stomach plummeted the same time the elevator carried Marshal to the main floor. I pressed my lips together and pushed it away as I strode toward Seifer's office.

  "Door."

  I closed the door behind me and stood at attention as Seifer adjusted his position against his desk. He regarded me a moment before straightening to step toward me. He set his stance and crossed his arms.

  "Anything to add to Marshal's report, Fujin?"

  And Seifer's smirk reminded me--I clocked Seifer as hard as I could, relishing the slip of skin as it broke under the force. "Bastard!"

  Seifer slowly rotated his jaw as he again met my gaze. "And what the hell was that for?"

  I grabbed his shirt and pulled him nose-to-nose with me, my eye sparking. "You knew. You knew who Marshal was and didn't tell me!"

  Seifer's green eyes registered a moment of surprise. Then the smirk returned. "I told you I was gonna push."

  I scoffed and pushed him roughly away. "No secrets," I warned. "Ever again."

  "Whatever you say, Fujin."

  I scoffed again as I turned on my heel. "It's Ahndra." He chuckled as I wrenched open the door. I stepped out. "Ass!"

  Seifer laughed.
