Aiden, Sage, and Lasher quickly piled into the back of the limo that was still waiting outside of Dorian Vega’s mansion. Cooper lept out, grabbing Sage’s personal effects from Aiden and carefully placed them into the trunk of the stretch. He then hopped back into the front seat, pulling away slowly. Sage curled up against Aiden, expressing a need to recover Nox’s possessions along with their own.
“Of course, babe… Sorry for rushing us out of there. Figured it would get awkward quick,” He said as he planted a kiss on the other man’s head, “And I am sorry for using the Power on you. I panicked and just wanted to make sure you were safe. I don’t know Dorian as well as you, so I wasn’t sure if he had a gun or not… Best not to take the chance.”
Lasher barked happily as Aiden rolled down a window. The dog stuck his head out, letting the wind roll through his fur. Cooper rolled the partition down and coughed politely.
“Yes, Coop?”
“Urhm… Sorry to interrupt, sir. I just wanted you to know that I offered Mr. Durante a ride when he came out of the mansion, but he denied it and rushed off. Is everything ok? I thought you two would be turned in for the night.”
Aiden smiled at his driver’s reflection in the rearview mirror.
“The three of us had a disagreement with Mr. Vega. We will not be returning there for sometime, I think. Would you mind taking us to the condo in Tverskaya?”
“Right away sir.”
“Thanks, Coop.”
The partition went back up and Aiden’s wallet started buzzing. He pulled it out and glanced at it. Dimitri, his assistant sent him a message.
Aiden, call me when you can. Rowan went missing last night. The staff of her café is worried and has no idea where she might have gone. They seem to think that she won’t be returning, as she has instructed her own assistant to turn the property over to you. Has she contacted you at all?
Aiden’s eyebrows shot up towards his hairline.
“What the fuck? Sage, babe… My sister went missing… What’s the likelihood you can track her movements?”
