Chapter 87

“What I want to know is how Gautier got a sample of my semen to begin with.”

I couldn’t answer that. However, “If Gautier’s Finchley is the same one who had that fruit basket delivered to us, then this could mean she’d involved with that as well. If Joe is the result of your semen and her egg, is it possible she wanted more?”

“To make another kid with our genetics? I suppose, although I still can’t figure out why she’d want me as the father.”

“Can’t you, Mark?”

“Jesus, Mann, don’t go all cryptic on me.”

“You mentioned you first came to her attention when she saw you in action.”

“That’s what The Boss thinks. So?”

“So she just might want the boy’s father to have excellent reflexes and solid reasoning.”

“Is that supposed to be flattering?”

“It’s supposed to be a possibility.”
