Blanc," Tristan warned, keeping his voice neutral and his gaze elsewhere. "I didn't have any problem shutting it for you three months ago. I could do it again."
    Blanc continued to chuckle. "I'll make a deal with you, Hunt." He stepped closer, his mouth twitching. Tristan was taller than Blanc. Stronger too, but the weapon at Blanc's side was a great equalizer. It gave the guard far more courage 40

    than he should have had. "I'll shut up about your pretty little thing in exchange for a free ride every once in a while."
    "Not a chance. I don't share."
    "Better sharing with me than sharing with everyone else, don't you think?"
    Tristan speared him with a sharp glare, holding the man in place with a small compulsion. He only hesitated for a moment before he projected some sense into the guard's mind. Subtle was the way. He lowered his head a little, leaned forward; added real perceptions of a threat to the projected ones and amplified all of them to suit his needs.
    Just enough to make him back down. Just enough to scare the fucking shit out of him for a few seconds before he eased up.
    Blanc's smile fell away and he shifted nervously, unable to look away. He broadcast his fear like a scent Tristan could see. Blanc already thought Tristan was an animal. Nothing but muscle and brute force. But Tristan let him see something even more dangerous in his eyes. It was something even the guards refused to fuck with. He was not such an easy prey.
    He amplified the doubt in the guard's mind. Maybe Blanc shouldn't have brought this up just yet.
    And a seemingly stray thought, Maybe not ever. It brought Blanc's shoulders back and his chin up. Tristan's control of him slipped and the son of a bitch found his backbone again. I am the fucking law around here! he thought. "Think about it,"
    Blanc said out loud, barely keeping his voice from betraying how uneasy he was. Before he walked away, he decided to 41

    give Hunt a final warning. "Word can spread mighty quick around here. I'll stop by tonight."
    I knew she'd be trouble. Tristan swore and dropped the towel into the pool. It was instantly vaporized. He should have thrown the damned guard in there. No fuss, no messes.
    Before he could entertain the thought a little longer, one of the doctors approached him. Adjusting her spectacles, she watched Blanc leave, her sharp gaze missing nothing. Out of all the white coats, Dr. Chase was the nicest and the sharpest. She always spoke to him as if they were equals in every respect. Unlike the others, each time she performed an experiment or procedure on him, she told him what she was doing, while she was doing it, and even went so far as to predict possible side effects. She'd used to ask if he was okay with what she was about to do. But she'd stopped after a while when he always answered the same—that he didn't give a fuck either way.
    "Are you making trouble for him again?" she asked.
    "Not yet," Tristan told her and she grinned up at him.
    "Try not to break any bones, will you?" she told him gamely. "I'm always the one who ends up having to set them."
    Tristan schooled himself not to smile back. "What's on the menu today, Doc?"
    She looked away. "I saw yesterday's population charts.
    Herb assigned a woman to your cell." The observation was made in a cool, neutral manner, but Tristan knew she was on the lookout for any kind of reaction.
    "I don't think he wants to be friends with me anymore."

    "You'd do well to be careful, Tristan. I can only help so much."
    "Do you know anything about her?"
    "Let's talk in my lab, shall we?" She didn't look behind her to check if he was following as she left the gym.
    Tristan shook out his wet hair and went after her.
    A few words to the guards and an elevator ride later, they entered the laboratory that was reserved for her exclusively.
    As one of the top physicians and researchers, Dr. Amelia Marguerite
