.The others hadn’t been verykind to him, but Brook had saved him over and over again.He’d beenDaniel’s hero more times than he could count.It hadn’t been a bigstretch to go from hero worship to head-over-heels.“Done for the day, McCarthy?” Jordan asked, popping his headinto Daniel’s office.They’d started about the same time in cubicleland.Daniel had advanced faster though as a PA to the vice presidentof customer relations, Mr.Morrison, courtesy of his connection to Jimand Jason Tanner.“I’m done,” Daniel said, smiling softly.“Word is that Brook isreturning to active duty tomorrow.Excited?”Jordan had been juggling Brook’s e-mails and reschedulingmeetings in his absence.He’d probably get a raise for it.Jordan groaned.“You’ve got no idea.I’m insanely excited toreturn to normalcy.I miss my workload from the Nazi.” The colorfulnickname for the office manager of cube land was well deserved.Thewoman had bigger balls than any man in the office.Hell, even thefield officers were terrified of her.The rest of the office didn’t knowthat the nickname arose from Jason Tanner’s obsession with oldAmerica’s Grey’s Anatomy and Daniel’s lips were sealed on thematter.“Mad props for putting up with that one.” Daniel put his laptop inhis bag and shut off his desk lamp.All his personal effects had beenpacked in the car, ready to leave with him at seven p.m.whenDeadzone Zombie Services closed for the night.Cold Calling17“We’re going to miss you around here,” Jordan said, laying hisarm over Daniel’s shoulders.“You sure you won’t let me buy you abeer?”“Not tonight,” Daniel said, hopefully putting enough regret in hisvoice to placate his friend.Under normal circumstances he’d go, buthe needed his rest.“I’ve got a big day tomorrow.”“Student services is a far cry from PA work,” Jordan said by wayof agreement.Daniel nodded, turning right into cubicle land.“I look forward tothe change of pace.” Deadzone headquarters with its towering blackwindows overlooking the sector had always been a part of his life.Itwas time he stopped dwelling on dreams and actually did somethingelse.“I suppose.” Jordan did not look convinced.“At least you’regoing to be in charge of the department.”He nodded.“And there will be no zombie emergencies to contendwith.”While the tower was absolutely safe, the danger from thefieldwork seemed to permeate even the sales floor.They worriedwhen members of their team were out in dangerous situations and theentire building held its collective breath in emergency situations likethe last sector meltdown.For an insurance company, they had a lot ofheart.They walked out of cube land into the main hallway that led to theelevators.The guards at the elevators nodded to them as he hit thebutton for the main floor.Jordan clapped him on the back as the elevator dinged to signal itsarrival.“Well, good luck, man.See you around, hm?”Daniel stepped inside.“Yep.”The elevator doors slid shut, cutting him off from the floor he’dworked on for five years.Something in him relaxed as the numbersticked down to the ground floor.He’d managed to not make a fool ofhimself with Brooklyn and maintained his working relationship with18Jana Downshis old bosses.He still worked for Deadzone, but he would be out oftemptation’s reach.Thoughts of the kiss that should not have been flitted through hismind.He never should have kissed Brook.It had been impulsive andstupid, a culmination of a lifetime of fantasies.Taking advantage of adoped-up Brook was reprehensible though.That was the onlyexplanation for why Brook had called him hot.Morphine had thateffect on the best of people.The elevator doors slid open with a ding.“Surprise!”He jumped as a chorus of his coworkers nearly blew him backinto the elevator.Jim and Jason Tanner raised their glasses and a fewof his golfing buddies threw their arms around him in welcome.Cameras flashed, and someone shoved a glass of bubbling champagneinto his hand.They led him over to the food court where a long row of tableswere pushed together with a giant flaming cake on one end [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
