A difficult task, as Mick has yet to regain his memory.<br><br>One suspect is Mick's older brother, Trenton, who manages one of Mick's clubs and resents the fact their father gave them to Mick instead of him. Another is the man on the driver's license, who works for Trenton. Or ...? All they have to do is figure it out, before someone tries again to take Mick out of the picture permanently.

Hawk and Wolfe

“You’ll get used to it, again,” Richard replied. “Be glad you weren’t…aren’t the kind of man who wore a suit and tie to work every day. Then you’d really feel weird.”


Mick agreed. He was comfortable in the slacks and shirt he had on. He wouldn’t have been in anything more.


They ran into Shorty in the hallway as they left the bedroom. He looked at them, and asked with a grin, “Who are you and what did you do with Mick?”


That rated laughs from everyone as they went downstairs to make breakfast.


After they ate, Richard got his laptop from the office, booted it up, and with Mick and Shorty sitting on either side of him on the sofa, he brought up the website for The Hawk’s Den.


“This is Andy,” Richard said, tapping a photo after clicking on the ‘Our Employees’ tab for The Den. “But you knew that from the picture on the license.” He went on to name the other men and women shown on the page, even though their names were under the photos, telling Mick a little about each one.
