“Should I forgive her? It doesn’t sound like she had much of a choice.


    And there’s more to Decker than meets the eye. There’s something he’s not telling me—’


    The doorbell rang and derailed her train of thought.


    She frowned and wondered who it could be. ‘Decker?’


    She put on her pajamas and walked towards the door. She looked through the peephole and saw


    exactly who she expected to see—Decker.


    She opened the door and the acrid smell of tobo assaulted her nose.

    She coughed.


    “Geez! How many cigarettes did he have?


    Without saying a word, he walked past her and made for the guest room that he usually stayed in

    He turned around to look at her, emotionless. She waited, giving him time to process his emotions.

    I’m Low on cash. Float me some?”


    Debbie was shocked into silence.


    Decker, or Carlos? Tough choice, but she thought she’d better listen to


    Carlos. Crossing her arms in disapproval, she threatened him, “You gotta be straight with me, or should


    I ask Carlos?”


    Decker rolled his eyes and snapped at her, “Him again? Why? You’re pretty capable yourself. Why rely


    on him? Sounds Like you’ve got ways of finding out things.”


    “I do, which is why I’LL find you out before Long. I figured you’d want to tell me yourself. And as for


    relying on Carlos, I’m good, but he’s better. James made me realize that. So why wouldn’t I rely on


    him? He’s nothing if not efficient.” For example, when they were trapped on that ind, Carlos had


    begun to suspect Evelyn was his daughter.


    And after she hade back from her trip to Zugrurg, he had already discovered the truth and even


    shown her the DNA test results.


    “So…you’re only with him for his power?” Decker mocked.
