indoors.  At night , he shifts and sleeps in the forest and for the time being I’ve got him assigned to guarding the perimeter.  Honestly, I don’t know what else to do with him.”
    “Captive?”  It made sense.  If the Walker had been held and experimented on, he’d despise confined spaces.
    “I don’t think so.  Did I mention he doesn’t talk much?”
    “So let him hang out, get used to the place.  He’ll come around.”
    “Can’t.  He’s got… abilities that I need to assess.  These abilities could be used in our favor if I can get this Walker trained.”
    “Abilities?”  King rolled his head back and forth from the tension in his shoulders.  “Why can’t you ever speak plainly?”  He stopped rolling his head to pin the Dominant Walker with an impatient frown.  “What type of abilities?”
    “The Walker’s name is RedKnife.  RedKnife KillsPrettyEnemy.”  Monroe smiled, “Friend of yours isn’t he?”
    King stilled.   It wasn’t a question.  Monroe knew damn well that King and RedKnife were friends, but what in the hell RedKnife was doing at StoneCrow, King had no idea.  The two men went back a long way, he was King’s oldest friend…if you could call him that.  RedKnife had been assigned to King for training.  He was the finest soldier to ever earn his trident among King’s ranks.  “When does he arrive?”
    Monroe smirked, “Arrive?  He’s been here.”  The CEO folded his hands behind his head in self-satisfaction, “One of my very first recruits.”
     

Chapter 4
    “My God , Jenny, would you look at that!”  Lilly nearly dropped her peanut butter and jelly sandwich before it even made it to her lips.  Sitting at a table in the still under construction cafeteria, Lilly turned adoring eyes to follow King as he stalked across the cafeteria heading for the short line. 
    Jenny took a bite of her tuna on wheat before turning to stare over her shoulder.  “Oh!” She spoke around the bite of food in her mouth, and Lilly shot her a dark look as Jenny tried, unintelligibly, to convey some knowledge.
    “You wouldn’t want him.  He’s a womanizer?” Jenny finally answered, having swallowed down her bite of food.
    “Oh,” Lilly’s expression turned regretful , “Of course he is.  Look at him.  He can womanize me anytime.”  The man was a beast.  Tall as hell, and thick with muscle, he was the hottest damn thing she’d ever seen.  No.  He was more than hot, he was…beautiful.  He stalked with a grace and confidence that told her he could handle himself.  Practically oozing sensual virility, Lilly knew he was one man she’d never want to be involved with. Men that looked like that seemed to conjure up trouble and the last thing she needed was more trouble in her life.
    “Lilly!”
    “What?”  Her voice was pitched high in innocence. She wasn’t typically this playful, but after a few days of working too closely with the most savagely handsome man ever to exist and Lilly was ready to let down her guard.
    “ Are you really interested in him?” Jenny tried to hide her burning curiosity by taking another bite of her sandwich.
    A deep sigh left Lilly’s pink lips as she shook her head.  “Nah, just simply wishing.”
    “This is a first,” Jenny challenged.  “With all the available Wal...”  She cleared her throat, “ Men here at the estate, you’ve been pretty closed-mouthed.  I had no idea there was such a lusty wench hiding inside you.  What’s so special about King?”
    Lilly felt herself blush.  She knew she’d been acting out of character and couldn’t explain it.  Tearing her eyes from King she focused on her sandwich, no longer feeling hungry.  “Guess I just need to get laid.”
    “Well, you should stay away from him.  I hear he’s nothing but trouble.”  Jenny felt a pang of guilt at the outright lie, but she had to know if the serum she’d created and already injected into King would work to keep the Walker from
