I knocked once and pushed the door open without waiting. Maeve was sitting behind her desk in that comfortable office chair of hers, a mug of coffee in her hand. She looked up when I entered and gave me a polite smile, lifting the cup to take a sip. She placed it down on the desk and drew in a breath like she was about to greet me.
Before she could say anything, I activated Hypnotize. The faint glow appeared in her eyes and her body went still. No greeting, no questions. Just silence. Good. I wasn't in the mood for small talk.
I closed the door behind me and walked toward her desk at a steady pace. When I stopped in front of her, I crossed my arms and looked straight into her eyes. Now… who the hell was this "K," and what exactly was his problem?
"Maeve," I said calmly. "Do you know who K is?"
"Yes," she replied, her voice completely flat, stripped of any personality.
"What's his real name?"
"Jack Kuinn."
I frowned slightly. "Quinn? That doesn't have a K in it."
