Nox had skipped town. Avoided everything he had going while following him the past few months. It was easy to stay on top of him. Even if he wasn't exactly on top of him as he'd have liked. But the kid was better at his job that Hayden gave him credit for. Maybe he had let down his guard and let Nox slip through his fingers. But it didn't matter, he knew one thing he'd be heading back home. Why? Hayden had observed his behavior leading up to the disappearance. Something was up -- and more so than him not wanting to do the job.
Hayden hopped the next flight to Moscow and waited for Nox and the girl to show up. Hayden never saw Nox come back from his new apartment. But he saw the girl through the windows often enough. She only left once and it was enough to verify that she was there.
With a little bit of research and confirmation from his cousin, this was a new place for Nox. He hadn't been there before. Interesting...
It took a few days to prepare the poison. Not because he didn't have the materials to do so, but it took a few days to find the trigger.
This little godling that Nox referred to kill was allergic to shrimp. Easy enough to trigger. And Hayden had gotten the gift created and off to the Nox's apartment via courier. Hayden watched from a nearby vantage point -- a safe house his father owned almost next door. The irony.
