doc. I’m new to the area and looking for employment and thought I would take the bull by the horns and have everything ready for when I find a job.”
    “I wish you luck, Mr. Wade,” Dr. Jones, as Linton reminded himself to call him, said as he began the examination.
    Linton was careful to keep his enhanced abilities hidden. When the doctor checked his reflexes he made sure not to overact like he usually did at the slight taps. It took quite a bit of concentration to keep his skills under control.
    “From what I’ve gathered, there aren’t many jobs going around here.”
    “Oh. Well, I’m sure I’ll find something eventually,” Linton said as the doctor took his blood pressure. “I’m willing to do anything to get a bit of cash behind me.”
    “Hmm, that’s very commendable.” The doctor eyed him with a frown and then all expression left his face. Linton couldn’t get a read on the man’s emotions and was finding the whole thing rather frustrating. “If you have a card, I can call you if I hear of anything going. Where are you staying?”
    “At the local motel. I haven’t had a chance to look for a rental yet.”
    The doctor turned away, and as he did, his facial expression changed from bland to evil. Linton’s skin crawled and goose bumps rose on his flesh as malevolence washed over him, but it was gone an instant later. If Linton had needed any additional evidence that this was his man, he had it. He wondered again if the receptionist was involved. He planned his next move as the doctor finished up.
    “All done, Mr. Wade. If you see Nyssa at the front desk, she’ll have a printout on your good health, which you can pass on to your new employer.”
    “Thanks, Doctor,” Linton said and offered his hand to shake. The doctor seemed hesitant, which surprised him since the asshole had instigated their initial handshake, but good manners won out.
    Nyssa smiled at him as he returned to the lobby. On instinct, Linton lowered his mental shields again. The wave of interest and attraction he got from Nyssa was strong.
    Linton returned her smile as he approached the counter. “That wasn’t too bad. No shots.”
    “Do you not like needles?”
    Linton leaned across the counter and took the printed health report she handed to him. Nyssa’s interest was briefly tempered by nervousness. Linton wondered if it was because there was something on the desk she wanted to hide, but he changed his mind a moment later. When he leaned on the counter and smiled, she relaxed again. He suspected she was just intimidated by his size.
    “Can’t stand them,” he said. She passed his bill across the counter, and Linton retrieved some cash.
    “It didn’t bother you when you pierced your ear?”
    “Oh, that?” He kept forgetting the transmitter was even there. “That was worth it. My brothers tell me it works with the ladies.” He winked.
    Nyssa blushed. Linton would have felt certain of her interest in him even without reading her emotions. He was also assured of her innocence. Nyssa Mathis was a pure soul if ever he saw one. After paying his bill, he thanked her and gave her a wink. Linton left with a smile on his face and a blushing receptionist behind him.
    Being careful not to acknowledge his brothers, Linton headed back to where their truck was waiting. Once they got back to the hotel room, he would fill his siblings in. But they also had a lot of work to do, and one of those things was renting a house.
    Arriving back at the hotel, he led the way into their suite, and his brothers followed.
    “ Is it him?” Codi asked.
    “Yep. There’s no sign of the missing women, but this ‘Dr. Jones’ is Marcus Keaton. I told him I wanted a health check before I looked for work. He took the bait. He seemed interested in the fact that I’ll do ‘anything,’ and now that my cell phone is on record, I have a feeling he might call me for a job.”
    “Good work,” Codi said. “We’ll need to find a house, one that’s
