[B.S. #2] Bound to Cyn
desk. He didn’t know how Clay could have missed her in the bar. If he would have ever been introduced to her, he didn’t think Clay would have forgotten. Well, just another mystery to look into tomorrow. Grabbing the water, Angel got up from the table, turned the light out, and made his way to bed. He still had a nagging thought that he had missed something in the bar. He decided to sleep on it and maybe it would come to him.

Chapter Four
     
    The next day Cinnamon walked into her vanilla bar and took a quick look around to make sure that Angel wasn’t anywhere in the area. He was such a large masculine man that she knew she couldn’t deal with him today.
    All night her dreams had been of a large warrior of old on horseback chasing her. In her dreams she didn’t know if she wanted to be caught or not, but she knew the safest route was to stay away from him. She’d never had a man make such an impact on her and had decided to ask Lance to keep her secrets to himself. He probably wouldn’t understand her weirdness about Angel, but she had to make him understand.
    Walking back through the door into the hall, she made her way to Lance’s office door. After a quick knock she walked in. Lance was sitting at his desk, looking frustrated at pictures strewn across it. He was combing his hands through his hair as he looked up at her entrance.
    “Were they able to find out anything last night? I didn’t hear of anything happening,” Cyn said to Lance.
    “No, we didn’t get anything last night. He couldn’t have been around. Grant and Brad installed the new cameras yesterday, and I looked at the feed this morning when I came in. Nothing. It’s almost like he knew we were ready and watching and is being more careful after almost snatching Betty the other night. I don’t want to believe that it’s anyone that works here. But they were the only ones I briefed on the new set up. I’ve been looking over the photos from our old system and hoping something jumps outs. But the pictures are so grainy that it’s hard to even make out the people in them that I do know. We have to do something before the women stop coming to the club. If the women stop, the men won’t be far behind. We might have to close up shop and move to another district.”
    “I don’t think we have to consider that right now. Didn’t you say that Clay’s firm was the best? They only installed the cameras yesterday. It could just be a coincidence that he didn’t strike last night. You’re just frustrated. Give your friend time to work. I know this started weeks ago but you just brought in Clay a few days ago. I think if they’re as good as you say, that within the week we will know something. You just have to calm down and let them do their work.”
    Lance finally looked at Cyn sitting in the chair across from his desk. She was always so pulled together and nothing seemed to get to her. She had learned to hide her emotions no matter what was going on around her or in her life. But today he noticed she seemed fidgety and uncomfortable.
    “What’s up? You’re here early. We usually don’t see you until just before the doors open at eight.”
    Cyn clasped her hands tightly in her lap and stared down at them. “I wanted to ask a favor of you. I know how busy it gets later on in the day. So I thought I would come in early. I really don’t know how to say this to you. I know you really like your friend Clay.”
    “Did Clay say or do something to you?” Lance started rising from his seat, ready for battle even if it was with one of his best friends.
    Cyn leaned forward and waved him back into his chair. “No, nothing like that. I’ve learnt from my last experience and that is never going to happen again. Clay is not the problem. He seems like a very nice man, a little intense, but I guess with the job he does he has to be. No, this is about his friend Angel.”
    “Yea, I noticed the reaction you had to him. What’s the problem? And stop
