As Jason went off with Lanier, he could feel Nathan's eyes on him, but he could also feel that it wasn't a regular gaze. It felt cold to him. Ahhh, he thought, probably because of his recent closeness to Salana. No one knew better than him how deranged Nathan was towards any man who was remotely close to Salana. The only reason he tolerated Lyle for all these years was because he knew for a fact that Lyle didn't and wouldn't look at Salana in that manner, and he was the best and only real option he had as a guard for her. Nathan was aware of this as well, but his psychotic tendencies prevented him from rationalizing it. In fact, the reason why he hadn't made a move yet after all these years was that he knew that Jason wouldn't be after Salana. However, it seemed that his mind could no longer justify it.
He sighed. It seemed that regardless, everything would have to be settled tonight.
