Shit He probably shouldn’t have said that But it wasn’t like Baldewin hadn’t likely put it together yet, if he’d been following Tori around “I can still work et”

“I’ve seen that firsthand, but I’lad to hear it” Baldewin’s tone was transparently sincere again but also worried

Tori eyed him back as he took another bite of the perfectly delicious pie At least this conversation hadn’t ruined his appetite

Why was Baldewin acting so worried? Did he really think Helsinki was that dangerous? It wasn’t like Tori was going around the bad parts of town, anyway

Well, okay, his motel was questionable, but it wasn’t bad Just rundown

“You really think I’”

“I’d explain, but…” Baldewin broke off in a groan “It’ll ruin what progress we’ve had thisI will say this There have been several instances ofkidnapped, but we’re not sure to what purpose Just that uard”

Oh There went his appetite It was nice to know they could cover soround that reduced the yuulped down some coffee to wash away the taste

Soes Hoas that even possible? Why would so his clan and Baldewin seeht not care too es in his own clan disappeared, but he wouldn’t wish that upon anyone else Or upon himself

“Who’s kidnapping the taken?”

Baldewin shook his head “I have very feers and mostly speculation I can’t answerit ourselves But they took Ca up an aht to get him back”

Tori was glad he didn’t have either food or drink in his ’s mate?”

“They weren’tBut yes That’s how ballsy they are You see why I’m worried about you?”

Maybe it would be better if he found another e clan to stay with rather than be on his own Of course, the kidnappers probably wouldn’t have ic effectively Heh For once, having crappy ic worked to his benefit
