Private Royals

Chapter 23

‘Are you OK?’ Cook asked as a stony-faced Morgan re-entered the Duke’s office.

Morgan nodded and turned his hard eyes to the Duke.

‘We don’t have any powers to arrest or detain you, but I’m assuming that for your own protection you’d like to be escorted to Private headquarters.’

The Duke understood that he wasn’t really being given a choice, and gave his stuttering consent.

‘Take him to HQ, Peter,’ Morgan instructed Knight. ‘I want you to work with Hooligan there. See if you can come up with anything about a US Marine working as a bodyguard in London.’

‘A US Marine?’ Knight asked, knowing it was Morgan’s former service.

The American gave him a curt nod in reply. ‘He used a Marine blade. See who you can find, then cross-reference it against Aaron Shaw. See if they cross paths.’

‘Will do,’ Knight promised. ‘Where will you be?’

‘The gym,’ Morgan told him, without a trace of a smile.
