Chapter Fourteen

Tommy was waiting for me in the lobby when I entered the hotel. I could tell he was excited but he was trying to hide it since he didn’t want to draw any attention. He waited for us to get into our room to talk.

“Where’s my room?” Tommy asked.

“This is it,” I answered.

“Then where is your room?”

“You’re looking at it.”

“Are you kidding me? We are sharing a bed? And a very small bed at that. This feels like we are in a closet.”

“I took this room because there is only one window in the bathroom. I asked for a room with no windows and this is all they had.”

“I forget you vampires have to worry about those things. Still doesn’t explain why we are sharing a room.”

“The room cost $450. Plus, it will be good for us to be together, just in case things go down. I’ve got your back. You’ve got mine. From inches away.”

“There will be no going down…and I repeat, there will be no going down by either of us on this venture.”

“You wish, Tom.”

“You wish it more, Josiah,” he ribbed me back.

“We will sleep opposite each other,” I said.

“It doesn’t change the fact that our groins are going to be eye to eye. Sleeping opposite just means I don’t have to smell your stinky vampire breath.”

“Don’t forget my breath is also part werewolf,” I said jokingly.

“That’s even worse. Your vampire-dog breath must be hell for poor Lena. How does she even kiss you?”

“She’s never complained. And look who’s talking about being a werewolf. You’re a purebred, man, not a mutt like me.”

“Ha, you got me there. You know what I say, Josiah? If we are going to do this, we go full bore. We are going to sleep naked and spoon all night. And there will be none of this front of the spoon bullshit. We will be taking turns being the front of the spoon. I’m not into holding someone all night and get no love back.”

“You’re such a clown, man. Even after all these years.”

“Humor is how I process a dangerous situation. You know that.”

“Yes, I know.” Tommy was an interesting cat. He used humor in every situation. It was his way of dealing with stress and anxiety.

Tommy decided to switch gears and finally listen to what I had to say. “So, what’s going on? What’s the latest?” he asked as he threw his duffle bag onto the floor and sank into a chair.

“Sion found out where Hector is being held,” I said. “He’s in a hostel just down the street.”

“Excellent!” Tommy said. “When do we go get him? Let’s go now.”

“Not so fast,” I said. I was trying like hell to be rational about the whole situation. And I hadn’t forgotten about my promise to Lena to be careful. “We need to scout out the place first,” I explained.

“What is there to scout out? We just go in and get him out. Kick whatever ass we need to kick and be done with it.
