Standing in the back hall, his muscular body pressed against a line of coats hanging from hooks, the bald man listened to their conversation. No, thought Vic, he didn't like this, not one bit. Gwen wasn't too bad, but Tim always said too much. Always. Which made Vic's own job that much more difficult.

Now that Gwen and Maggie and the boy had gone the other way down the hall and up the back staircase, he could move closer. He had, from years of Tai Chi, fine control of every muscle, and he silently inched around some boots, past an umbrella, around a nylon parka, and right up to the edge of the kitchen door. No, he thought, there was no way they knew he was back here. No way at all.

He heard the pop of a wine bottle, the clinking of glasses. And he heard Tim turning on the charm, per usual. A real master at that, no doubt about it. But it made Vic nervous as hell. He didn't think there was any way this Todd Mills could know anything. Maybe he suspected, perhaps he just wondered. But this wasn't good, not by any means, having someone from the media lurking here inside the house.

Listening to every word of their chatter, he then discerned them heading off to play pool. Well, he thought, there was nothing to do now. Whatever happened was out of his control.

And hoping no damage would be done before he returned with the sushi, he turned down the narrow hall and started for the garage.
