“I . . . I . . . really?”
“Yeah. That’s why I have the big guy.” Cat pointed at Rafael.
“And because you get into trouble.” Rafael placed the glasses down and Cat poured in some tequila.
“That too.” She grinned.
“Um, Cat, is this really a good idea?” Faith asked worriedly.
“Of course it is! All my ideas are great. Ooh. I know, I’ll get Nighthawk to look into this Charlie and then Reuben can’t object to you meeting with him.”
Rafael snorted as he placed a plate of bread and butter on the table.
“Hush you.” Cat pointed at Rafael. She pulled out her phone and placed it on the table on speaker.
“Kittycat! We playing?” a voice boomed through the phone.
“Not right now. You’re on speaker with me and my girl, Faith. She needs some tequila and girl talk. Rafael is here too.”
“All the girls together, huh?” Nighthawk laughed. “How are you, Sourpuss? You frowning at the phone right now?”
Rafael was doing just that, and Faith had to stifle a giggle.
“Faith? That Reuben’s girl?” Nighthawk asked.
“Um, yes. Hi,” she said.
“Girl, you’ve got to be brave or dumb to take that man on. Although he is certainly fine eye-candy.”
“Nighthawk, we need a favor,” Cat told him.
“Kittycat, you always need a favor. And I’m getting ready to play.”
“Please,” Cat begged. “It won’t take long.”
Nighthawk sighed. “All right. What is it? Poison? Blackmail?”
Dear Lord.
“Background check.”
“Well.” Nighthawk sighed. “That’s a let down.”
“You got a pen and paper?” Cat asked.
“No. Just tell me. I’ve got an excellent memory. Die, fucker, die!”
Faith gave Cat an alarmed look. Cat just shook her head. “Video game.”
Relief filled her.
Cat gave him Charlie’s name and description.
“Might take me until tomorrow.”
“That’s cool,” Cat replied. “Thanks, Nighthawk.”
“You owe me, Kittycat! Gotta go!”
