Chapter 31

“Home?”

“That’s not what I meant.”

Cole smiled. “I know. I came in the back door.”

“It should have been locked.”

“That’s probably my fault,” Gino said, apparently having overheard them. “I was out back having a smoke. The latch must not have caught when I came back in.”

Cole resisted a sigh of relief, having forgotten about the fact the back door was supposed to be kept locked at all times, when he told Mike how he’d gotten into the restaurant. He and Ky had teleported there, landing in the storage room. Once he knew Cole could do it in one hop, Ky had left.

“Next time, be sure,” Mike grumbled, giving Gino a disgusted look. When Gino walked away, Mike said, “That guy showed up again. He was outside when I got here. I made it a point to tell him that you hadn’t changed your mind and come back. I think he got the message because the last time I checked, he was gone.”
