Tyrone gave him a look, “Did I say anything about a holdup?”

Kevin smirked knowingly, “Gotcha, I'll handle it on the down low. Trust me, it's as good as ours.”Tyrone waved him off, and Kevin, with a roll of his eyes, stood up.

He lingered in the doorway, not quite ready to leave, "Hey, I heard some dame’s got you all twistedup. Spill the beans, who is she? I'll take care of her for you.”

Tyrone was framed against the backdrop of a vast floor-to-ceiling window; the morning sunlightstreamed in and cast an ethereal glow on his striking face, which bore an expression of chillingbeauty.
