Jensen felt the Gift flux as a menacing presence approached. He looked over his shoulder as the Ascendancy entered.
He quickly jumped to his feet. The chair he'd occupied skidded away at the movement.
This was the same man that was healed by the Gift. He knew it, logically, but viewing him while, restored and awake was an entirely different experience.
He Ascendancy's eyes, so blue, were clear and sharp. His voice direct, his shoulders broad and back. Jensen nervously swallowed. He had to force himself to accept the handshake.
"Sir, yes, I am Jensen, sir. But of course there is no debt to owe. The Gift blesses indiscriminately. I am grateful Detective Ivan brought me in time."
He pulled his hand away, rubbing it in his other palm and massaging his own fingers as he spoke. He felt insignificant before this man. Thoughts of the antichrist were long forgotten. He was pleasant and pure. The Antichrist would radiate a sense of evil and mistrust. Jensen knew no such thing applied to Nikolai Brandon.
He forced himself to hold the man's gaze, if only to keep his eyes focused on his face.
