Jai was aggrieved.

He slumped behind the wheel of the Taurus, which sat squarely in a "no parking" zone on Madison Avenue in front of the three-story, red brick parking garage that matched his three-story, red brick apartment building. He had taken a few minutes for a quick shower at his apartment, and was now dressed in brown canvas pants and a yellow and white striped Polo shirt. His damp black hair had been pulled back and tied with a red rubber band into a short pony tail that draped over the back of his neck. He was carefully parked between street lamps; darkness better suited his present mood. Elbow propped on armrest, chin propped on hand, he sulked like a surly beast locked in a cage without a bone to gnaw on. He didn't react to the sudden, whistling downdraft that swirled over the street, or to the sight of Dakarai and Cody dropping gently down to the sidewalk beside the car.

Dakarai opened the rear door, and Cody slid into the back seat. With one hand at his neck, Cody looked— Jai couldn't help noticing— rather blissfully dazed. Dakarai tossed a bulging backpack onto the seat, then slid in and closed the door.

"What am I?" Jai groused over his shoulder. "The fucking chauffeur?"

Dakarai smiled cheerfully at him. "Hey, driving was your idea. Remember?"

"I'll bet." Jai adjusted the rearview mirror and scowled. "It takes a lot of time to do a big, fat hickey."

Cody's bewildered eyes glanced at the rearview mirror and caught sight of the purplish rose blossoming to the side of his Adam's apple, peeking out above his hand. He self-consciously gathered the collar of his jersey about his neck.

"We should get going," said Dakarai, ignoring Jai's petulance. "You want me to drive the first leg, give you a chance to catch some sleep?"

"Oh, heavens no, Miss Daisy. You two sit your dainty asses back there, fasten your seatbelts and leave the driving to me." Jai started the car, shifted the gear into drive, gunned the engine and swerved into the street. He drove west on Madison to Front Street, then took Front north and picked up I-40 east.

For a time, they didn't speak, or look at each other. Cody felt extremely guilty, though he would have been hard pressed to explain why. Certainly he knew Jai was attracted to him, but he had made it clear to the cop that there could never be any romance between them. It was obvious that Jai and Dakarai still shared genuine affection for each other, but their relationship was long over. Given those circumstances, should Cody go around kicking himself because Jai had correctly deduced that he and Dakarai had been making out? Along those same lines, should he
