Reed sat on a crate, glancing distastefully at his surroundings. It had been a while since he had met someone at a warehouse, particularly one this decrepit; there was rust buildup on most of the walls.
Part of him wanted to leave, and he very well could. It would be easy to just stand up, walk away, and never look back at this place; the chances of ever having to meet anyone here again were ridiculously slim. And yet, he stayed, waiting for Chase Bishop to walk through the front door.
Though he felt like he hadn't seen his brother in years, that was no longer true. He had seen him a week ago, at the hotel. A blood test had proved the man's claims; all that was left was a meeting, face-to-face. He had contacted Chase with a time and date, specifying that no weapons were allowed. He adjusted his pants leg, where he had hidden a knife; better safe than sorry.
Minutes passed, until he had been waiting half an hour. He checked his watch; the assassin--or rather, Chase--should be arriving any moment now. He messed with his hair, trying to get it to look professional; Chase had always loved his long, red hair. Too bad now it was cropped and practical.
