through his hair again.  “She doesn’t know she’s in danger.”
    Donovan dropped the door back in place, locked it and stood.  “We have to find her.”  Jed nodded and headed for the front door.  Donovan was close behind. 
    They made it to the lobby as the door to Silas’ office opened.  He looked up, obviously surprised to see them.  “Where is Lex?”
    Jed looked at Donovan.  Donovan looked at Jed.  How do you tell a Master Vamp that you just lost his daughter? 
    “You lost her?   Damn it.  How in the hell do men with your capabilities loose one twenty-five year old woman?  A human woman at that.”
    Donovan shrugged.  “We’re talking about Lex here , Silas .  Not some damn little wall flower.  You taught that girl things most Navy SEALs don’t know.” 
    “She knows she’s in danger and she left anyway?  Damn, stubborn woman.”  Silas was running his fingers th rough his hair. 
    Jed finally found his voice.  “Yeah.  ‘Bout that.  We didn’t quite get that far before she took off.”
                  Silas looked at them both.  He wanted to wring both their necks, but he knew Donovan was right.  Even if the girl had known she was in danger, if she wanted to leave, she would have.  And not even he could have stopped her.  He threw Jed his keys.  “Take the Viper.  The windows are dark enough that the sun shouldn’t hurt Donovan.”  He turned to go back to his office and call in every favor he was owed.  “And boys.”  He spun back around.  “When you find her, do whatever you have to do to keep her safe.  Tie her down.  Lock her up.  I don’t care as long as she is safe .  Understood?”
                    “Understood.”  They said at the same time, stepping into the elevator.  They looked at each other. 
                  Jed spoke first.  “I know which one I’m voting for.”
                  Donovan smiled and leaned back against the cool metal walls .  “Yeah.  That option has my vote, too.” 
                  They rode the elevator down in silence.
     
                  “Can I have another cup, Sam?”  She raised her coffee mug in the air a little bit in case Sam hadn’t heard her request over the loud bump and grind music pouring out of the speakers.  It all sounded like noise to Lex, but that was okay.  It was distracting enough that she didn’t have to think about what Jed and Donovan had said.  She tried to think about it while she was on her bike, but the constant vibration between her legs while thinking about the two hottest men she knew was making her wet and more that a little uncomfortable.  It kept leading her mind down an unfamiliar path and everything along that path was very exciting and a little scary.  She felt a tap on her shoulder. 
                  “Hey.”   
                  Well, at least it wasn’t the voice of one of her men.  Huh.  That sounded more natural than she would have thought.  She turned to find the guy from Beans behind her.  He was kind of cute in a boy-next-door sort of way.  He was taller than her with light brown hair and hazel eyes .   “Hey.   Seth? ”   She grabbed the coffee cup Sam slid her way. 
                  “ Yep.  Where’s the blond guy you’re usually with?”  He said sitting next to her. 
                  She shrugged.  “I left him at work.”  It wasn’t totally a lie.  She worked in the building.  So did Donovan. 
                  “He your boyfriend?” 
                  He wasn’t looking at her and he had a hopeful sound to his voice.    “Not exactly.”  It was the best she could come up with at the time.  It was infinitely better than.  ‘No.  I am the Keeper and he is one of my Protectors.’  She snorted.  Like anyone would believe her anyway.   Not unless they were one of the Immortals.
