“Your mother dresses you funny, too.”
Cappie was already light-headed with relief. These two were setting off her quirky sense of humor. “I can’t take the two of you anywhere,” she complained. “You embarrass me to tears.”
“Can I help it if he’s ugly?” the second man said. “I was only stating a fact.”
“He’s not ugly,” Cappie defended Dead-Eye. “He’s just unique.”
Dead-Eye grinned at her. “We can get married first thing in the morning,” he said. “I’ve been keeping a wedding ring in my chest of drawers for just such an emergency.”
Cappie shook her head. “Sorry. I can’t marry you tomorrow.”
“Why not?”
“My brother won’t let me date ugly men.”
“You just said I wasn’t ugly!” he protested.
“I lied.”
“I can have my nose fixed.”
She frowned. It was a very nice nose.
“I can alter it for you with my fist,” the other man volunteered.
“I can alter you first,” Dead-Eye informed him.
“No fighting,” Cappie protested. “We’ll all end up in jail.”
“Some of us have probably escaped from one recently,” the other man said with a pointed look at Dead-Eye.
“I didn’t have to escape. They let me out on account of my extreme good looks,” Dead-Eye scoffed.
“Your looks are extreme,” came the reply. “Just not good.”
“If you two don’t stop arguing, I’m going to have my best friend come over to spend the night with us, and you two will be sharing the sofa,” she assured them.
“Just shoot me now,” Dead-Eye muttered, “and be done with it. I’m not sharing anything with him. Not unless he’s got proof he isn’t rabid.”
The elevator door had opened while they were arguing. Dr. Bentley Rydel stepped off it and stared at the younger man while Cappie gaped at his sudden appearance.
“He isn’t rabid,” Bentley assured Dead-Eye.
“And how would you know?” Dead-Eye asked.
“I’m a veterinarian,” Bentley replied curtly.
“We should go,” Cappie said, avoiding Bentley’s eyes.
“We?” he asked, scowling.
“These are my two new boyfriends,” Cappie told him with a cold scowl. “We’re sharing a room.”
He knew she wasn’t involved with two strangers. He had a pretty good idea of who they were and why she was with them. She probably expected him to believe the bald statement, with his track record.
“I heard about Kell,” he said quietly. “How is he?”
“Out of surgery and resting comfortably, thank you,” she said formally. “We have to go.”
“Can we talk?” Bentley asked somberly.
“If you can get them,” she indicated her companions, “to tie me up and gag me, sure. Let’s go, guys.”
She walked into the elevator and stood with her back to the door until she heard it close.
