The Elevator Murders

“A big one, since we thought Tony…”


Kirk smiled. “Hey. It’s okay. I know how you used to feel about me. You sure didn’t make a secret of it. That’s changed. Believe it or not, we’re going on a date tomorrow night.”


Pat pumped a fist. “The great playboy has finally been hooked?”


“Damn, guys,” Tony said, shaking his head. “Grow up.”


“Because?” Tony turned to Kirk, saying, “Let’s dance. That way they can’t keep bugging us.”


“Works for me,” Kirk agreed. He got up, pulled Tony to his feet, and they made their way to the dance floor.


“Sorry about that,” Tony said, wrapping his arms around Kirk’s waist.


Kirk put his hands on Tony’s hips as they began to sway to the music. “Nothing to be sorry about,” he said softly. “They’re your friends and they want to…protect you, I guess you could say.”
