    “What happened? Where is Sally?”


    “Sir, she has chosen to stay at the Paynes’ house for a few days.


    She didn’t return with us,” one of the bodyguards exined.


    Setting aside his pen, Mekhi arched an eyebrow and remarked, “That’s funny.


    I tasked you with safeguarding her.


    Why then have you returned?”


    The bodyguard appeared flustered as he confessed, “Mrs.


    Paynepelled us to leave.


    She even instructed Abel to beat us up.


    ”


    Crack!


    A teacup shattered at the feet of the two men, startling them.


    Water sshed across the floor and Mekhi’s anger red.


    “Leave this instant! You’re utterly worthless!” he thundered.


    Wearing a grim expression, he massaged his temples as he grappled with a throbbing headache.


    Noelle was very secure, and Sally seemed incapable of achieving much of anything.


    The situation was tricky.


    Frustrated, he reached into a drawer and retrieved a piece of transparent, colorless crystal.


    He inhaled deeply, using it to regain hisposure, and found himself feeling considerably better


    afterward.


    ALL of a sudden, another knock resounded at the door.


    Swiftly, Mekhi discreetly returned it to the drawer.


    Shiloh then walked into the study.


    He approached the desk with an air of respect and ced an item upon it.


    As Mekhi looked down, he recognized it as the key to the top floor, now marred with ayer of mud.


    It was the very key he had entrusted to Shiloh.


    “Where did you find it?”


    “In the garden, sir.


    It was hidden beneath the grass, with only a small portion visible.


    That’s why I couldn’t find itst night,”


    Shiloh exined.


    Mekhi picked up the key and as he did so, his fingers became stained with mud.
