I slid my purse farther up my arm as I hurried through the back hallways and opened the door to where Dale was putting the final touches on a lunch plate.

“Hey,” I sidestepped a girl with a tray, “here’s Yen’s request for his meal.”

“You could’ve sent it to me like always.” He ground some fresh pepper over a salad then wiped the side of the plate clean to ensure it looked perfect. “What’s up?”

“Nothing.”

He looked over his shoulder. “Out with it.”

“You know that blonde who’s always hanging out with that Ron look-alike from Jersey Shore, down by the cabanas?”

“Blonde? Oh, you mean Starbi.”

“I guess, yeah. Did her mother purposely pick a stripper name, or did she change it?” I rolled my eyes and hated her even more.

“Didn’t care to ask.” He winked. “What about her?”

“How far did you get with her?” He glanced at me again, and I got it. “She any good?”

He chuckled. “Solid six, I guess.”

“Why a six?”

“Why do you want to know?”

“A client spotted her in the pool yesterday, and before I recommend her, I figured I’d do my homework.” That was a lie, but it was a white one.

“Smart.” He shrugged. “She’s cute and all, but she’s a talker, doesn’t have much suction, but biggest complaint, one that might actually work in your favor, is she’s also a stage six clinger. So, if you’re looking to get some free time away from a client, she’s your chick.”

“Good to know.”

“Yeah, it took me a while to point her in Danny’s direction.”

“Yeah, thanks a lot, man.” His line chef grimaced.

“Anything else?”

“She’s looking for someone to take care of her,” Danny snickered as he flipped a piece of salmon over on the grill, “so flash some money around and she’ll come running.”

“Appreciate the insight.” I waved and headed out of the kitchen.

“Just the chick I wanted to find.” Minnie snagged my arm and pulled me away from the kitchen. “You want to tell me about last night?”

“I’m not following.”

“I mean about how you said Grim was going to be upset with you. What happened?”

“It was a misunderstanding with a client being an asshole. Grim doesn’t want me working on his contract anymore We got it cleared up.” I felt like an ass giving her the CliffsNotes version, but I was just too done with it to discuss the whole thing with her.

“Oh, you mean Sonny Conti.” She waved her hand.

“Minnie,” I decided to share this part, “be careful, okay? Sonny’s dangerous.”

“Girl, please.” She folded her arms over her ripped Metallica t-shirt. “Who do you think tipped Grim off that Sonny was going to try something with you?” My mouth dropped open, but then I realized who I was talking to and closed it. “Morgan had a run-in with Sonny in Arizona a way back. Then when he heard about what he was up to he told me to go to Grim or he’d do it himself. I figured you’d appreciate me telling. I mean if you weigh the options of being locked in the elevator versus what Morgan suggested Grim would do.
