The woman walked up the steps towards him peering over a pair of dark sunglasses. A man followed her up a few descrete paces behind her. She looked him up and down certainly appraising him. Nox grinned at her.

She frowned. "You must be the new pool boy."

Nox laughed. "Actually I'm a friend of Dorians. He asked me to look after Cruz."


She lifted her sunglasses from her eyes revealing beautifully done up eyes that sparkled as she looked at him . Nox saw the smile peek out at the edges. "Dorian doesn't usually bring his friends home. You can't be that type of friend. And you are much too young to be protecting anyone. You can't be off your mother's apron strings for more than a year or two."

Nox had no idea what she was talking about until she insulted him. Calling him a baby pretty much. Nox smiled at her. "I have been on my own since I was 16 Ma'am. I'm more than capable of taking care of your son. You must be Mrs. Vega."
Nox offered his hand but he didn't get a chance to introduce himself as Cruz stepped out of the door.

"Mother. This is Nox. He's here at father's request. He has been helping me. He works with Dad."

Mrs. Vega looked at Nox again with that appraising look. "He's barely older than you. He can't be an officer."

Nox interrupted. "I'm not. I'm something else. Dorian asked me to protect Cruz. That's what I'm going to do. I need to look around. Is that going to be alright with you Mrs. Vega?"


She looked at him still appraising him. "Christian will go with you."

"Yes, ma'am." The man behind her nodded. He must be Christian.
