THE EMPTY CHAIR AT TABLE NINE / Chapter 12 / 15

Chapter 12 - Marco Came Back

Marco survived kidnapping injuries and returned after six months.

He carried guilt.

“I should’ve protected her.”

Marco became head of corporate safety instead of personal security.

“Retirement?” I asked.

“Safer paperwork.”

Nathaniel laughed.

“Give it a week.”
