My journey to the office was slow, my awareness mostly inward due to the pain, leaving little attention for my surroundings. Upon my arrival, Piers greeted me, asking, "You okay, Boss?"
"Yeah," I responded. "Anything new?"
"A couple of requests for credit extensions, a request for a meeting from someone named Corv, nothing else."
I grumbled. "Any idea what Corv wants?"
"To hire you."
"Thank him and put him off. I'm occupied for the next week, perhaps two. I'll review the requests later."
"Understood."
"And inform Thorne I need to see him."
I hung up my cloak and eased into my chair. Then I reclined and shut my eyes, and Thorne asked, "You all right, Boss?"
"Considering the circumstances, yes."
"Good. What are we considering?"
"I got ambushed."
