Ashton couldn¡¯t help but admire his half-naked lover. She rinsed
and he watched.? He always had both
admired and desired her, she wasn¡¯t just beautiful but smart, cunning, and funny.? He found that it wasn¡¯t just his body she
held sway over and his heart but that thing between them that she easily
wakened and it felt good to have someone capable by his side, as that was a
turn on as well.
He let her get dressed
and he remembered where they found Angelo the last time they were looking for
him, in some seedy dive since Angelo had a gambling problem so, wherever there
was a good numbers game, and a crowed he could hide in, Angelo would be
found.? He drove over to the Lucky Haven,
he parked the car moving to let her out and go inside.
It took him a bit of
walking around he didn¡¯t ask as to do so, would tip him off, but he found him at
the craps table.? He moved around till he
was standing upon him.? By the time
Angelo realized it was too late to run?Ashton was in arm's length and all but daring him to run.
¡°Angelo¡we need to
talk¡outside!¡±? Ashton breathed his
typical fire and brimstone tone.??It was barely and audible
squeak that came from Angelo, but if Ashton was this close he might have been
holding a gun or some weapon on him, he might as well talk cause Ashton was not
one to take ¡®No¡¯ for an answer.?
¡°What do you need now?¡± Angelo replied having been escorted
outside by the larger man.¡°Tell me what you know about the shipments last night at the
docks,¡±? Ashton asked.
(Katya) Katya didn't follow Ashton inside.? She knew that he would drag Angelo out if need be.? She waited patiently, leaning up against the car, running a comb through her drying hair.? She did need a shower as that flesh golem left an unpleasant odor on her.
She watched as sure enough, Ashton had Angelo by the collar and was more or less carrying the man outside.? She over heard the questions.? She put the comb in her pocket and crossed the lot to follow the two into the side alley.
"The shipments at the docks, last night?? Whatever do you mean?? I was here, ask anyone." Angelo was stammering out trying to play coy with Ashton.
