IN THE late morning Cade emerged from the guest room to find his clothes neatly cleaned and pressed on a chair and a cup of coffee on a small table nearby.

Weirdest not-kidnapping ever.

He was nervous about going back to the Iron Butterfly, fully aware that not being fired didn’t mean Zed and Rachel would overlook his rule violation. He knew better.

Cade dressed slowly, feeling aches and pains all over his body. Well, at least when Rachel offered his ass to the more brutal customers, he would have a head start on hurting.

He exited the room, mug in hand, and walked a few feet. He heard a throat being cleared and looked up to discover a dressed Nox glowering from the top of the stairs.

“Oh, hi.”

Nox gave him a nod. “Sam is going to walk you down to where a cab will meet you at the border.”

Cade tried to rein in his surprise. “Great. Thank you.”

Nox used the banister as support as he walked down. The baggy jeans and heavy wool sweater once again hid Patrick Mullens’s suave flair.

“I realize we got off to a bad start. I just wanted to make sure that when you left here, you understood….” He glanced at the floor before lifting his eyes to Cade’s. “I need to keep my business private, or else my son could suffer the consequences,” he murmured.

“Right.” Cade wasn’t thrilled with helping a con man, but at the end of the day, who was he to judge what people did to make a living? He wasn’t exactly living the purest lifestyle either. “Don’t worry, okay? I’m not going to do anything to screw with your kid’s life.”

Nox looked relieved. “Thank you.”

A creak on the floor turned Cade around.

Sam, dressed for the cold in a puffy jacket and woolen cap, stood there, smiling. “Ready?”

Cade checked his watch as he stood. “Yeah, I gotta go. You need anything else?”

“No. Thank you, though.” Nox’s face was guarded. “But I need to ask you….”

Cade held a hand up. “I can’t for the life of me remember your address.”

To beat the laugh, Cade got a smile that reached Nox’s eyes.
