The Next Day...

When Kai walked into the bar, the first thing he saw was Vella and Lann whispering over something they were hunched over.

"Did you two find a cat in the alley again?"

Lann startled so hard that he barely caught himself from jumping a full foot in the air. Vella, on the other hand, smirked devilishly at Kai.

Kai did not like that particular look one bit.

"So…" Vella sidled up to him with all the grace of a hungry predator after Kai had shrugged off his jacket and tie.

"What?" Kai hung up his jacket and tie on the door hook. Lann, on the other hand, escaped into the backroom, babbling something about getting more ice.

Vella leaned in as close as she dared to, which was way too close for Kai's comfort zone, and flashed a handful of white business cards in front of his face.

"Did you bang him?"

Shit, shit, he had left the cards there last night. He had completely forgotten about them…

With as straight as a face as he possibly could keep, Kai deadpanned, "No, we snuggled on the couch watching chick flicks. Have you two cleaned up everything yet?"

Vella's split-second transition from smugness to confusion was something he wanted to frame and hang on the wall.

"Wait… you're joking, aren't you? But you never joke! …Oh god, you DID bang him!"

"…I'm going to check the back."
