As before, the Moonlight characters do not belong to me, CBS gets the credit for that.
Chapter Two
As his eyes ran down the list he held in his hand, Talbot recognized several people listed. However, his eyes were drawn to a particular familiar name at the end of the column, Mick St. John. A shudder went through his body as he thought of the dark and brooding private investigator. Something about the man simply made him uncomfortable, almost as if Mick's gaze alone could pin him to the floor. Maybe it was the fact that a certain former reporter was always near him.
Talbot's thoughts strayed to Beth, his young blond employee. He thought back to the many reasons why he had hired her, only a few of them professional. Although he valued her insight on cases, he enjoyed having her near him and always within his reach. Talbot's hand tightened on the papers he was holding as he thought of what her connections to this list might be. If the voice over the phone could be any indication, anyone connected to this list was in terrible danger. He wasn't sure what the list meant or why so many of the names were familiar to him, but he knew he wasn't going to wait for the answers to find him.
Talbot's stood, pulling on his jacket as he locked his office. He glanced at the list again remembering when Mick and his friend, Josef, had saved his life. He never could figure out how they were able to pull off the rescue and no one was offering any explanations. Mick never responded well to any question he posed and Beth avoided the subject like the plague. Well now was the perfect time. Although his connections to the recent investigation had not been proven, Talbot had his suspicions about Mick's friend, Josef. He had conveniently sidestepped the issues Beth wouldn't discuss and always managed to avoid indictment on any case, not to mention his recent near death experience. It was time to pay the wealthy businessman a visit.
That's all I have for now. Sorry it's so short, but I wanted to get the scene posted quickly. Up next… Mick and Talbot are both headed to Josef's office…
