"I don’t knohat the hell Pick was thinking when he hired hih, okayhe picked up the work fast, faster than anyone else I’ve ever trained"

"And he did save Zoey and the baby," Aspen pointed out

Noel blew out a breath "Honestly, I don’t knohat to uy at all, and thatwithkeep a safe distance fro about you when I say that" When he pointed at me, I narrowed my eyes "I’m serious, Felicity You said yourself he’s different now Don’t go thinking he’s the saet yourself in trouble"

I wasn’t even sure how to answer that My first instinct was to say Knox would never hurt me But I let so , but I wasn’t sure yet if I was actually going to heed it

When Noel’s cell phone rang from the counter, I was relieved for the reprieve I wanted to think about this before deciding what I was going to do next

"Yep, okay Will do" Noel hung up and turned to me "That was Pick He wants to see you in his office as soon as possible And oh, he said to get your daotten I had er back now, since Noel had taken irlfriend hadn’t stolen or destroyed

Ugh, had that only been yesterday? I’d been too distracted by what had happened last night with Knox to even think about hoas down to half my possessions now It was really too irl supposed to think properly with so lancing at the newspaper sitting on the table and re for a new place to live, too Oh, and I had to think up a way to repay the Gaotten fixed for me

Fiveit wanted to work after all, and tenspot in the lot across the street from Forbidden The place was deserted since it wouldn’t open for hours to co h the quiet club to the hall that led to Pick’s office His door was open, so I knocked as I went in

"Ooh, I like the new desk" It was a lotthan the heavy oak one he’d had before, and his computer was now a laptop instead of a desktop

"So what’s up?" I seated myself on his couch and relaxed on the plush leather cushions

Stretching his hands over his head, he popped his neck froet to that in a second We’re still waiting for oneup?"

"Oh…" I wasn’t too sure about that answer, so I shrugged "Noel helped s from Cam’s place yesterday, so I have…soet back, anyway And I look for rentals everyeven ree"

He nodded, folding his hands together and resting theh, I shook ain in ato talk about Knox right now, I asked, "Who’re aiting for anyway, and what exactly is this about?"

That’s when Knox appeared in the opened doorway He stopped short when he saw aped back in horror Then I whirled to Pick "Is this about last night?"

Pick lifted his eyebrows "What happened last night?"

"Nothing," I was quick to ht he was After a quick, uncertain glance Knox’s way, I returned my attention to Pick and cleared ether?"

Waving Knox the rest of the way into the room, Pick said, "Take a seat"

Knox moved about two feet into the roo to sit So I foldedon ht then I wanted to let you know I found an apartment for you"

My eyes widened and elation bloo everywhere and hadn’t found squat Then I noticed Knox had a slight, confused scowl on his face, and it hitwith Pick and also needed a place to live "Wait" I turned back to Pick "Which…one of us are you talking to?"
