Excerpt:
Allen was pocketing the cash when Tyki approached him, and his eyes flickered up. Something flashed in the silvery-gray irises, fleeting as whatever it was quickly dissolved into cool disinterest. “I’m done for the night,” Allen said, as he pulled his coat close in preparation to leave. Tyki smiled, and leaned against the side of the building. “Really? That’s too bad,” He said. “I was thinking you’d be here a bit longer. You usually are around pretty late.” Allen shrugged, and there was a small, polite smile on his lips that did not reach his eyes. “Sometimes.” “But not tonight,” Tyki repeated, as he took another drag. “Not if you’re going to be hanging around.” A dry laugh escaped Tyki. “Ouch. Pretty savage there,” Tyki commented. There was an amused gleam in his eyes, and he glanced over at Allen, mouth pulling up into a grin. “Didn’t even give me a chance to explain why I came over.”
