an apartment walkway and calling for Marda. Brandon latched onto Nicky’s belt. Ice settling in his gut, he pulled. Both stumbled back through the doorway. Somebody complained and Brandon ignored him. All he could think was not here!

Brandon ground out the cigarette on the floor. Nearly melting against a wall, he stuttered, “He’s here.”

“Who?” Nicky pinched the tip off his own smoke.

“That asshole who lives in my building.” His throat was so tight, Brandon could barely swallow.

“The jerk we ran into when we looked at the place.”

Nicky stared at him. Then it seemed to register. “Why would he be in WeHo?”

“Why are we here?” God the irony of it. “Riverside ain’t the gay night-life capital of the southland.”

“Okay.” Calm, cool, Nicky moved in close. Dragging his thumb down the rings in Brandon’s ear, he tried to soothe. “Then the next question. What does it matter?”

“What if he sees me?” Brandon hissed. Maybe there was a back door they could sneak out through.

“What if he does?” Another inch closer, and Nicky’s frame settled against Brandon’s body. It calmed him in ways he didn’t even realize. All he knew was he could breathe again. Nicky pulled him into a warm embrace, one hand running up the back of his neck. The other slid into Brandon’s front pocket. Nicky leaned in, almost whispering in his ear. “Come on. He’s not going to go screaming from the rooftops ‘the cop who lives in my building is queer!’”

“Knock it off, Nicky.” Brandon banged the back of his head against the wall. “What if he wants me to do stuff for him?”

Nicky choked on a laugh. “Babe, you are one sexy son-of-a-bitch, but I don’t think you’re going to get propositioned by a guy who is old enough to be your grandfather. You’re too far past twink for that.”

Half heartedly shoving Nicky back, Brandon growled, “That’s not what I meant, Nicky.”

“Then explain.” Nicky wouldn’t let him go. Part of Brandon was petrified that he was caught like this. The other part was so damn glad Nicky was there with him and not letting go. “Because I don’t get it.”

One deep breath stopped the shaking. Another let him think. Finally, Brandon answered, “What if he wants me to take care of something for him... like fix tickets or something?” Inland Empire - 101
