Michael Knight shifted in his chair, trying to make it look like he was escaping an errant spring rather than squirming uncomfortably. The fact of the matter was though, the last thing he wanted was the local police poking around into this mess. His situation wasn’t exactly… normal, and having nosy cops digging too much into his past would only lead to uncomfortable questions.
At one point in his life, when he was still Michael Long, he had been an LAPD detective himself. But that was before he was betrayed on an undercover assignment, and shot in the face. An eccentric billionaire named Wilton Knight saved his life, giving him a new face, a new identity and a new purpose working for his organization… but Michael Knight had no history prior to three years ago. Simply put, he had not existed. Once the cops noticed that little fact, they always started asking awkward questions.
“Well… I wasn’t really involved in it.” Michael confessed. “I came to town to meet Delores Macabee—she contacted the foundation that I work for and asked for help—but she was already missing by the time I arrived. What do you know about it?”
Maybe if he played his cards right, he would be able to get information out of this man instead of having it pumped out of himself.
