The hotel pool was edged with a tall privacy fence and large stadium lights, but the lights were off. As they approached the gate, Patrick could hear the steady lapping of water and quiet laughter inside the fence. Out here behind the hotel, the sounds from the street and the city were muffled, faraway, and the lights from the parking lot were just pinpricks, like the lit windows of the hotel and the stars above. After the rush of people through their booth today, this solitude was a welcome change of pace.

At the gate, Carey knocked softly. “Hey, it’s me.”

His voice carried easily into the night. The only response was more laughter from inside the fence.

Carey raised his voice and rattled the gate. “Open up already, guys!” To Patrick, he muttered, “Sometimes I don’t know why I hang out with them, you know?”

From the other side of the gate, a woman’s voice called out. “Hold your horses.”

Patrick grinned, his hand fisting in the back of Carey’s shirt. He heard the splash of someone getting out of the pool, then the wet slapslap of footsteps on concrete. She stopped at the gate and leaned against it, her voice breathy and close in the darkness. “Did you get your Dix fix?”

“Jan!” Carey hit the gate with the flat of his hand as his friends laughed on the other side. “Yeah, I got him. Come on, let us in already.”

The latch rattled again as it was lifted and the gate swung open beneath Carey’s palm. A pretty girl stood on the other side, her hair in one long braid that hung damp against her back. She wore a black lacy bra and matching panties, and although it was hard to see her clearly in the dim glow thrown from the floodlights surrounding the pool, Patrick thought he should know her.

“Jan,” Carey said, introducing them as he led Patrick into the pool area. “Our very own Tomb Raider.”

“I thought you looked familiar,” Patrick said.

Jan giggled. “Oh, damn.” She touched Patrick’s arm, her hand cold and wet. “Bill was right—he is a cutie. Where’d you find him?”

Patrick ducked his head, embarrassed, as Carey slapped her hand away. “Hands off, girlfriend. This one’s mine.”

She frowned at him as she locked the gate. “Fine. Be that way…”

Letting go of Patrick’s waist, Carey moved quickly and scooped her up into his arms, like a newlywed carried his bride.

“Carey!” she shrieked, kicking her legs as he picked her up off the ground. “Put me down!”

Laughter from the far end of the pool drifted over to them. Patrick saw a small hot tub set in the concrete by the deep end, the water splashing from the spa into the main pool. In the hot tub were two men and another girl, who was already climbing out of the spa with a furious expression on her face. She had thick braids wrapped into a tight knot on the top of her head.

Patrick recognized her from the show—she was
