JENNER was so glad to be out of the suite that she had been behaving herself, even when Cael put his arm around her shoulder as they walked from the elevator out to the pool. She stayed close, as he’d instructed, and didn’t do anything to draw attention their way—other than the little bit of attention he wanted. Not that she didn’t enjoy giving him a hard time every chance she had, but that was in private. Maybe, after last night, he’d get the idea she wasn’t going to give them up to Larkin, or anyone else. She had her doubts Syd was in any real danger, but she didn’t know, so she’d play it safe. If Syd wasn’t in the equation … who knows? Maybe, maybe not. She still didn’t know who was who in the good guy/bad guy field, but Cael’s “slimy” comment had given her a solid hint. Could bad guys feel morally superior to good guys? They might feel smarter, tougher, etc., but would the moral aspect even occur to a bad guy? Then again, she’d heard that the murderers, thieves, and con men in prison really hated the child molesters, so did that mean anything other than that child molesters were the lowest of the low?
