first. “Did these kids say where the men took Nalu?”
    Faris shook his head. “No, just that they carried him back towards the harbour.”
    “Fuck! I knew something was wrong when Nalu left that evening to meet the incoming yacht.” As soon as they pulled up to the palace, Raven quickly ushered Faris inside. “No soccer today. I’m gonna see if I can find the kid.”
    “I don’t think I would do that if I were you,” Faris said, taking his backpack from Raven. “The kids at Sanctuary seemed pretty afraid of these guys.”
    Raven gripped Faris’ shoulder. “I’m not a kid, and I’m damn good at my job.”

    Faris looked uneasy. “Just be careful.”
    Raven grinned. “Always.”
    He left Faris and hurried to Ghazi’s office. Halim, Ghazi’s secretary sat at his desk outside of the King’s door. “Is he busy?”
    Halim glanced at the phone. “He’s ended his call. Would you like me to announce you?”
    “No time.” Raven knocked once at Ghazi’s door before stepping inside the office. “I need to talk to you.”
    Ghazi was standing at the window with his hands clasped behind his back. He slowly turned to address Raven. “What is it? I have things on my mind.”
    Raven was momentarily stalled by Ghazi’s cold demeanour. “Just thought you’d like to know that one of the boys from Sanctuary has been beaten and taken away by two strange men.” He held up his hands. “But hey, if you have more important matters to deal with don’t worry about it.”
    Ghazi’s eyes narrowed. “What do you mean, beaten?”
    “Beaten, as in bruised. Faris heard other kids from Sanctuary talking about it. And for that matter, why the hell didn’t you tell me Jurru had an orphanage?”
    “Because we don’t. Sanctuary is a privately funded facility. Other than routine inspections by the health authority, the government has no involvement.”
    “Yeah, well, I’d suggest you get involved.” Raven stepped further into the room. Even though he was pissed, Ghazi’s body still called to him. “I think he was taken to the yacht that came in last Friday. I’m on my way to get him. I just thought you’d like to know.”
    “We have a police force that can handle it,” Ghazi said. “It would be best if you stayed here.”
    “I’ll handle it. I’ll be in and out before the police have time to arrive.” Raven shook his head. “You’re just like Faris. You hired me because of my skills as a protector, right?”
    He waited for several seconds before Ghazi eventually nodded.
    “So let me protect. It’s better than sitting around here doing nothing.” Raven turned to leave but was pulled up short by Ghazi.
    Before he knew it, Raven was pulled against the King’s chest accepting the tongue that was licking at the seam of his mouth. The kiss was so good, Raven almost lost himself in it.
    He stroked his tongue against Ghazi’s once more before withdrawing. “I need to do this.”

    Ghazi nodded. “I have a special evening planned for Saturday. Don’t do anything to jeopardise your ability to join me.”
    Raven grinned and scraped his teeth across the heavy black stubble on Ghazi’s chin. “Is that your way of telling me to be careful?”
    Ghazi ran his lips over Raven’s forehead. “I wish that no blood be spilled, yours or theirs.”
    “Can I bring Nalu back to the palace?” Raven asked.
    Ghazi’s spine stiffened. “Nalu? Why didn’t you tell me it was Nalu who’d been taken?”
    Raven shrugged. “I didn’t figure you knew the kid by name.” He narrowed his eyes.
    “As a matter of fact, why do you know his name?”
    “Nalu is a rarity on the island. He just appeared one day. No one knows where he came from, and he has never been forthcoming with the information of his background. When he was twelve he applied for citizenship. It was then that I learned his name.”
    “And yet you still allowed him to live on his own?” Raven
