Chapter Fifteen

It took about ten minutes to complete the cleaning. It should have taken far less time, but Bobby resisted the idea that he should be expected to help and instead, watched more of the ZooTube videos. That, of course, distracted them all very effectively until it looked like Banks would be sick too.

Taylor drew the line at that point. With no other bathrooms nearby and within bolting distance, he wouldn’t risk her throwing up on his floor. He knew he would have to clean the mess, and he said so in no uncertain terms—and threatened to make his companions do it instead, at gunpoint if necessary.

With that incentive, Banks and Bobby joined him with sudden enthusiasm and so avoided making a bigger—and way nastier—mess.

When they had finished, he realized that Vickie was still in the bathroom.

"Shit. Did I turn the water on for that bathroom?"

"Yep," Bungees said. "I happened to check when we first cleaned up after you moved in and it was already on."

"How do you not know what's happening in your own building?" Banks asked.

"It's not like I have full control over the whole premises," Taylor protested. "Well, I do, but that doesn't mean I exercise it. My priority is those sections I need for the business and the living quarters. Besides, there are busted pipes everywhere, so if I leave the water on in the entire building, my water bill will go through the goddamn roof. It only makes sense to turn certain sections off when I'm not using them."

"Back to the topic at hand," Bobby said, “it does seem like Vickie is taking a little while in the bathroom. Maybe she needs help."

"She'll call us if she needs us," he replied. "Especially when it comes to the water."

The agent stared at him with a critical expression and raised an eyebrow.

"What? I haven’t been in there, and it's not like we were prepared to have a lady on the premises. You should know we didn’t expect you to be around since you said you would be on the other side of the country. And we certainly didn't think you would bring company."

"Okay, that’s a good point," she admitted. "Although I would add that you still don't have a lady on the premises. She's female but not a lady by the strictest definition."

"Well, we're not ready to have a member of the British nobility over for a visit either since we're being all technical for some reason." Taylor rolled his eyes.

"True." Banks grinned. "And it's not like I would call the two of you gentlemen, to be honest."

"Right, because a gentleman wouldn't tell you to go eat a whole bag of dicks," he retorted. "But me being merely a regular dude who makes money off the sweat of his own brow can say that—and mean it—because my money doesn't come from the fact that… Shit, I actually don't know how lords and ladies make their money.” He looked at his friend. “Probably like…investment banking, right? Or maybe owning land?"

"Maybe a combination of both?" Bobby suggested.
