He pressed his palms against the wood surface. Did he have enough credit on him to pay for transport? No. “Fuck.” He shoved, throwing the doors open.
“Nate Miller,” the judge’s voice rang out behind him.
He paused and sucked in a deep breath. Images flashed through his head. The judge was the last person he wanted to talk to today. The man had made a fortune from the witch hunt, selling bodies to the highest bidder. Nate twisted around and stared at the judge.
“Watch your language in my courtroom. Enforcers are always professional.”
Like he cared. He was no more an Enforcer than the asshole who’d absconded with his sister. Granted, since Nate had inherited Ian’s body, he’d also inherited his contract, and the DSLE hadn’t released him. Not yet. But they would. Nate gave him a half-flip salute, lifted his headphones to his ears, and strode through the doors. He’d be damned if he helped them. Yeah, he’d been told he would need to fill Ian’s vacancy, but after what they’d been through…not happening. Until they released him from DSLE service, he’d make their lives hell.
He cranked the volume on his player to drown out the voices and stepped through the doors, staring out over the city. There were greater forces at work than anyone could imagine.
