It was time to move it along.
“Any other family?”
The blinks gave him away. The smile stayed on Spark’s face, but it no longer reached his eyes. “Family?”
“Mother, father, siblings?”
He cleared his throat. “My father died a few years back.”
“I’m sorry.”
“We weren’t particularly close. My mom’s alive.”
“Where does she live?”
The question slowed him down. “She travels a lot. Right now, I think she’s in Rome, maybe Paris.”
They were getting close to it now. “Any siblings?”
“No.”
Just like that. Fast. No hesitation. He had been expecting the question by now, and he was ready with his answer.
Myron feigned going through the file. “It says here you have a younger brother. Brian.”
“He’s…”
Myron waited.
“It’s not relevant. He hasn’t been a part of my life in a long time.”
“I’m sorry. Where does he live?”
“Is it okay if we don’t talk about it?”
“Well, it’s not really my decision. This is a new franchise. And it’s in, let’s face it, Sin City. There will be a ton of scrutiny, and the league is obviously nervous about that. We need to fully vet any possible employees. If there is any hint of scandal—”
“There isn’t.”
“So where is your brother, Spark?”
The smile fled.
“He lived in this city under the name of Bo Storm,” Myron said, dropping the pretense. “You know this. His boyfriend was murdered. No one has seen him since.”
“Damn.” Spark stared at Myron and slowly deflated. “I should have known.”
Myron said nothing.
“There’s no team coming to Vegas, is there?”
“No,” Myron said. “There’s not.”
Spark shook his head. “Dick move.”
Hard to argue.
Spark put his hands on his knees and pushed himself into a standing position. The man took up a lot of space. “Is your friend going to give me a ride back? I missed Liam’s game for this. I’m his AAU coach too.”
