events. What had happened to his boring vacation? He hadn’t planned on the Organization agents following him or this new twist.
    Crap! Remy was headed to him any day. He would prefer to keep his friend away from these guys. If what Alex had said was true, that they tracked every supernatural person who came into their city, the minute Remy arrived they would know.
    He could call his friend off. Remy wouldn’t be happy but he’d deal with it. Although Kieran needed his bribe for Lettie even more now that he had additional work for her to do.
    Before he could close the door, he heard the elevator ding and the doors open. He could smell the rich bold aroma of coffee. His dinner.
    Alex entered the lift as the hotel staffer exited it. They nodded at each other in a familiar fashion. Kieran narrowed his eyes as he watched the man who wheeled his food in his direction. He picked up the scent of berries and grass. He took a deep breath. Shifter, bear. He jerked back in surprise.
    “Good evening, sir,” the staffer said. “I hope you weren’t waiting long.”
    “No,” Kieran said. “I was letting my guest out.”
    “Should I bring the cart in?”
    Kieran stepped out of the way. “If you could place it on the table, please.”
    “Sure.”
    As the young man busied himself with setting out Kieran’s meal, Kieran watched him closely. The bear shifter’s heart rate was calm and steady. He didn’t smell nervous or afraid. Just a normal guy doing his job? Kieran wasn’t so sure. He was pretty certain Alex was showing him that the hotel was full of supernatural people.
    It’s what he would do.
    “Do you need anything else?”
    “That should be it,” Kieran said as he accepted the leather case to sign. Again he added a generous tip before he handed it back over. It wasn’t his money he was spending anymore.
    “Just call if you need anything else, sir.”
    He nodded then closed and locked his door. His stomach growled as he strode over to the table. He started to make a mental list. He needed to call Lettie and Remy, and depending on what Lettie told him, maybe Caspar. As much as he hated reports, there was a good chance he’d be spending the rest of his night researching the city and occupants.
    Alex had stated that he had a contact within the Organization. He wanted to find out who that was. If it was Dean or Dakota, that would simplify things for him. Since he wasn’t normally that lucky, he suspected that it wouldn’t be that easy. It would give him the opportunity, though, to see who else worked for his company in Vegas.
    Maybe tomorrow he would stake out their building. There had to be somewhere that they worked out of.
    If he could find a way inside, he might really have some amusement. Caspar would probably be pissed if Kieran did so, which made him want to break in even more. He did need to pay his boss back for putting Dean on him. Hell, he might be able to get into Dean’s office and screw with both Caspar and his nephew. Excited now, Kieran started on his dinner.
    He savored every delicious bite of his meal as he worked out what he wanted to do. First he had to check his emails for what he’d asked Lettie for the night before. She’d had almost twenty-four hours so he had no doubt Lettie would have come through for him by now. He’d also have to send her the new names to look into while he worked on going through case files there in Vegas.
    Kieran finished his first mug of coffee then poured another. After he’d eaten the last couple of bites of dinner, he sat back in his chair and groaned. That had been so damn tasty. If the hotel was footing the bill, maybe he should think about eating lunch there also?
    No, he wouldn’t take advantage. They might ask him for his help or might not. If not, he’d pay for his expenses but if there was any need for him to get involved, he’d allow them to pay.
    He wasn’t sure how he felt about this new development in his life. Twelve Day Walkers, fourteen if he
