The Morning After [House Party cont]

[Hayden]

Seven noticed Nox leave as Hayden noted. The man he clung to at the moment was intuitive in ways that he'd like to explore more. Both sexually and professionally. Not that he was technically qualified to call it professional, but intuition was good to understand. Hayden whispered in Seven's ear, though Gideon was sure to hear, it wasn't him hiding the words but more or less passing on his flirting to the man he'd actually spent the night with and not his half brother. "You can go talk to him. He likes to talk -- about everything."

Hayden wasn't sure if Seven had picked up on the fact that he and Nox had shared a bed or that he was the point of his entire excursion to Moscow -- a stalker as Gideon had called him. He probably made the connection, but one could never know for sure.

Gideon's cousin and Sage or Wicked or Computer Boy, Hayden liked the latter the most were off in their own world. Though Sage was completely gone, his eyes nearly glazed over as he stared off into the TV. And Liam stared at him like he was trying to figure something out. He was figuring it out too as Hayden watched the light change in his eyes. "You figure out the rumors are true?" he turned and shouted over the music that still played from earlier to entertain Nox.

Liam turned and looked at him. "They aren't true. The Wicked Truth isn't an AI. He's got a fucking computer in his head!"
