It wasn't supposed to be one he could or should have. It didn't take long to figure out what caused it. The issue was he couldn't dispel it.
The last place he wanted to be where was he had to go. The longer he waited to report it the less chance he would have of catching the right person and he had a very good idea of who did it to him. The knock was meant to be soft. It wasn't. It was hard and hurried.
Cairo wasn't the same put together man he had been on his first visit and his palms slammed on either side of the desk. He was breathing heavy like he'd sprinted all the way across the castle, when he'd only walked over to the other man's office from his own. Sweat poured off him and a desire to rail the other man on his desk made him swallow hard before he said the only thing he could when he looked at the man across from him.
