CHAPTER THREE
Dorian canceled all his appointments for the remainder of the day and spent his time researching Agincourt and the 2 guards. There was one thing about these two males that basically received his again up. Other than being heart-stopping beautiful, they held an authority and an affect that put their energy and significance past that of mere bodyguards.
Paul handled them casually, however they watched him with a fierce focus nothing would have gone unnoticed. Dorian questioned in the event that they picked up on his consciousness of who they actually had been. Dorian was capable of work with and transfer amongst these individuals as a result of he by no means drew consideration to his suspicions and by no means till in the present day voiced any of his ideas relating to the mysticism current in Charlotte. His fear over Paul’s relationship with one in all them pushed him to say greater than he ought to have.
“I’ve scoured the web, and all I can discover on Sloan Dobre is from the previous few years. It’s merely public events resembling award ceremonies and enterprise dinners. There’s nothing private that’s accessible other than a couple of stats.” His assistant Opal reported and laid a skinny folder on his desk. “I despatched you the knowledge on Agincourt, however these laborious copies are from a few years in the past, and I discovered them intriguing.”
“In what method?” Dorian walked over and picked up the folder.
“They’re pictures.” Dorian seemed on the first one, which was a celebration scene from the 40s or fifties. A few of those who had been current had been surprisingly acquainted.
“It might be familial.” Opal supplied. “This city is rattling unusual.” She completed and left the workplace. Dorian needed to agree together with her on that rating. He took his pill and the file and sat right down to evaluation. The photographs had been fascinating however might be simply defined away. Apart from, who was going to consider anybody was immortal? Simply pondering it made Dorian cringe with the backlash that will be felt. It did not cease him from finding out the pictures and the individuals in them.
His thoughts saved reverting to the 2 guards that had accompanied Paul. They had been critical safety but additionally gave off a way of persistence and tolerance which was very uncommon for Agincourt muscle.

Dorian had visited Agincourt headquarters earlier than, and he drove himself and was directed as soon as he arrived as to the place to go.
He ought to most likely be involved that the guard was choosing him up and would additionally most probably be his experience again. The guard, though reserved and chilly didn’t hassle him. He was not a risk however that didn’t imply he wouldn’t do what he was ordered to do.
There was one thing acquainted about these males not that he’d met them earlier than as a result of he hadn’t. Their black hair and black eyes had been mesmerizing. He would have remembered them.

The extra he tried to determine it out the farther from his understanding it turned so Dorian set the sentiments apart for future evaluation and focused on the knowledge in entrance of him.
The 2 guards had been Rex and Colby St. John, and based on the analysis, they’ve been working for Elan Kilconnor and Agincourt for so long as the corporate has existed. Nevertheless, it additionally had the brothers as private guards previous to the group of Agincourt, which might make them a lot older than they seemed to be of their early thirties.
The knowledge was patchy and unverified in most of what was offered, so it was fascinating however didn’t show a rattling factor. Everybody related to Agincourt possessed a stage of strangeness, however once more, nothing concrete, so nothing that Paul would consider or react to. Dorian started to surprise if maybe he was the one with the issue and was growing an obsession the place Agincourt and Kilconnor’s individuals had been involved.
There was little question in his thoughts that there have been vampires afoot in Charlotte and that Kilconnor was one in all them.

“Are available in sit.” Sloan instructed the brothers, they usually sat collectively on the couch in opposition to the wall and Sloan took the chair straight in entrance of them. “Inform me the way it went and whether or not or not we’re going to should cope with this man.”
Rex and Colby seemed pointedly at one another, after which Colby started. “He is coming to dinner tonight, however Paul most likely already made you conscious of that.” Sloan nodded. “He is aware of who we’re.” He went proper to the center of the matter. Sloan was shocked and sat up somewhat straighter in his seat.
“He’s conscious of the paranormal presence in Charlotte, and we’re nearly sure primarily based on his conduct,” Rex added. “He’s afraid for his buddy but additionally is aware of that his perception would most likely not be accepted. He is not conscious that Paul is aware of and seems to know nothing of the bond that exists between you.”
“That is troubling.” Sloan rubbed his chin. “I hate to screw with the thoughts of Paul’s greatest buddy.”
“That is not going to be attainable,” Colby interjected.
“Why not?” Sloan leaned ahead in his chair and waited for a proof whereas Rex and Colby took a fast look at each other.
“He is our adored.” They stated in unison, and Sloan reared again in shock.
“Properly, I didn’t see that coming.” He stated with a considerably grim smile.
