He'd spent most of the day with Nox. He needed a nap if he was going to be in the bar for a full shift -- not that it mattered but his regulars might mind. They came in not only for the booze but also the talking. And Hayden enjoyed his customers. Loved their lives and wanted to help.
He popped off a message on the secret phone telling Zef the kid was talked into finishing the mark, so they just had to wait and see what happened.
She was happy it was a quick job, but the message came across as she wouldn't beleive it till she saw it. Hayden was sure this guy would kill if he set his mind to it. There hadn't been any doubt in his body language. Nothing to suggest now that he'd made up his mind he wouldn't do it. It was almost scary to see the certainty in his face when Hayden told him about the bad shit that guy was capable of.
Why the Atharim wanted him dead though, that wasn't Hayden's concern. He didn't care. He made his back up plan to kill Reggie Hill, but he hoped he didn't have to enact it. He hated doing it. Hated that part of the job. But when you are a contract cleaner you do what the money says you do.
Hayden dug a little deeper into Nox. He couldn't find much, but he did find out where he worked prior, where that video had come from, and the underground club where he fought. And he made a few calls. He had a feeling that Zef was going to ask him to do more than clean up after him. He needed to know what he had to deal with, and how to get more information if the internet wasn't going to be much help.
