Dark Callings (Phoenix Intelligence Agency) Read Online Free PDF

Harmony. They were bright and made him want to bask in the glow. Lennox closed his eyes, longing for what he couldn’t have filling him. He lowered his head, turning and pushed the sensation away. He was of the shadows, and had no place in the light. He would remember. Since he’d promised Harmony he’d attend the dinner, he would, but from now on, he’d keep things between them business.
    He did his nightly patrol, then went to his home. As he walked down the hall to his room, his steps echoed loudly in the quiet house. In his spacious bedroom, he strode over to one of the bay windows. He rested his shoulder against the side wall next to the window seat and viewed his estate. The eerie glow of the moon bathed everything he saw. He sharpened his sight and looked at the rest of his vast property. Although set up as an oasis for his needs, tonight it didn’t soothe him. The day of noise had made his place seem cold and lifeless.
    You mean the day spent with Harmony and Ebony. Ebony was similar to her mother—bright, friendly and open with people. For some reason, Ebony always sought him out whenever she came to visit her mom at work, or when he went to visit his friends and she was there. The familiarity with which she greeted him had quickly become something he looked forward to. Both mother and daughter seemed to want him around but he could not afford to be. He rolled his shoulders.
    Shake it off. Forget about it and focus on what is at hand . Lennox straightened, retracing his steps out of the room to the lower level of his house. In his home office, he booted up his computer. He linked into the Phoenix Intelligence Agency network and opened the information he had been working on earlier. He reviewed the list of places people had stated they had spotted Blagden. He memorised it, then displaced into the shadows.

    The next day, after a fruitless search for Blagden, Lennox strode into the Assassination Unit. He went to the right instead of skirting between the desks to his office. He passed the conference rooms on his right, while in the centre to his left were the low-walled cubicles of the agents. Absently, he noticed various agents working. He passed the empty desks of his team before bypassing his own office and continuing on to the Assassination Unit training room . Lennox frowned when he spotted Harmony’s closed door. He was tempted to open his senses to see what she was up to but he resisted and went on. Storm was in her office on the phone, her feet up on the desk. She saw him and flicked her wrist. The office door slammed.
    He didn’t even waste time wondering what her issue was. Storm tended to be volatile. Thankfully, he didn’t have her as his partner. He went down the corridor next to her office and used that door instead of going to the main entrance. The door closed behind him as he moved down the narrow hall. Seconds later, he was in the training area. Lennox paused, taking in the two combatants who were fighting while they levitated mid-air. The dazzling display of power made the hairs on his body raise. He frowned. There was only one race of beings that could create such a sensation— Zuri Maji .
    He lowered his head, strolling over to his team. They stood on the floor in a circle below, watching. They nodded, parting to give him space. Lennox joined them.
    “Allure is kicking you all’s butts at training,” Lennox said.
    “Nice of you to join us, Lennox,” Tyr, one of the new Amazonian Warriors on their team, said.
    Lennox observed the amusement on his face. “Wh—”
    “Shh… Watch.”
    Lennox returned his attention to the fighting agents. They came together in a clash of energy then a flurry of blows before they spiralled down to the ground. Seconds before they hit with the floor, they pushed off from each other, spinning back into the air. Allure turned to him. Cat-like, hazel-green eyes studied him, her expression sombre.
    “Harmony,” he whispered, stunned to realise that
