He looked at Zayden, who had resumed her perch, her golden eyes already scanning for the next client.
There were three of them: Kestrel, Merel, and the oldest, Zayden.
Not of contracts. Of people.
Officially, they were his executive assistants. Unofficially, everyone called them the Demi-Hawks.
Kestrel managed the phones. Her voice was a warm, hypnotic purr that could charm a client into signing anything. But if you called during a bad quarter, her tone would drop thirty degrees, and you’d hear the faint click-click-click of her talons tapping the receiver—a warning. She never raised her voice. She didn't have to. She simply leaned forward, and the shadow of wings fell across her desk.
One Thursday, a man named Leo Corbin arrived. He was a tech billionaire who'd stolen an AI algorithm from his dead partner's estate. He was cocky. He laughed at Mr. Banks. "You can't take what's already mine."
Mr. Banks stood, straightened his cuffs. "The Demi-Hawks," he said to Leo's trembling form, "are what happen when a soul refuses to fully leave the nest. They are not quite human. Not quite bird. They are the keepers of the guilty. And they are very, very good at their jobs."
