Challenged by Darkness (An Urban Fantasy Novel) (Befallen Tides series Book 2) (19 page)

“You have done your homework in this case,” London said.

“I’m merely doing my duty as a chancellor. After all, this crime did happen in my jurisdiction. I have a special interest in it.”

“Very well, Esteban. Bring me more information on this gang. Find out where they are, and do hurry. I’m getting calls from her parents every hour on the hour. The quicker we handle this, the sooner we’ll all sleep better at night.”

London Iragall and Orion Merrick walked away side by side, still talking to one another in an undertone. Esteban Chaves’ face remained lighthearted and passive until they turned a corner. Then a darkness spread over it, from eyes to lips, dourly. He folded his arms behind his back and straightened his spine.

Yes. He was merely doing his duty as a chancellor. And as a father.
