Ziva huffed.“You were in my position.We were together and then we weren’t because you got scared.”

“Not scared.Ignored.Your job is everything.I was second.”

“You were...you were...”

Steele and Ravyn looked at each other, both wondering what they should do next.

“You told them I knew about Temptra,” Ziva picked up where she’d left off.Or rather she changed the subject, which Steele had to admit he was glad about.The last thing he needed tonight was to witness scenes from Ziva’s love life.

“You did know.I told you when you found me at the apartment last month.I told you something big was coming and that you and your band of dragonfolk wouldn’t be ready for it.”

“That was cryptic as hell, how was I supposed to take that information back to the others?”

“You should have because now they’re pissed that you didn’t.So, you’d better just march me in there right now so I can get the rest of this story out before they decide to hang your ass right beside me.”

“Let’s go,” Steele whispered and hurried Ravyn past that door.

“I know that voice,” she said as they were speed walking the rest of the way down the hall.

“Yeah, it was Ziva.You met her at the Office.”

“No,” Ravyn said.“I meant the other voice.”

He stopped when they were in front of the door to the large conference room.“You know Enes?How?”

She shook her head.“I never got her name, but she’s the one who introduced me to Vertis at Twilight.”
