“I don’t need anything,” Rain said.
Henry looked over at him. “Vacation, remember? Like we need swimwear for the pool.”
Rain stared at him. “The pool? Are you joking?”
Henry shook his head. “People always lounge around pools in Mexico.”
Scoffing, Rain retorted, “We cannot lounge around anything,Sir Speedo.”
I laughed. I couldn’t help it.
“Don’t encourage them,” Selena told me even as she snickered.
Henry shook his head. “I bet that you already packed your speedos.”
“You wish.” Rain rolled his eyes then as if he dismissed the little boy in the room, he turned to look at Selena. “I bookedfour first class seats, heading out tonight. I rented an SUV to travel the roads. We will be staying at a small but high end hotel. Adjoining rooms, meals and the works.”
“Sounds like a real vacation,” I replied.
“It will certainly look like one.” Rain nodded then he looked over at Henry. “I repeat …it will only LOOK like one.”
Henry scoffed. “I will be doing my job. These two will be safe. I have taken bullets for people that are not as wonderful as they are.”
“On that note, let’s go shopping,” I announced. “I mean we have a Black Card!”
The two men laughed.
“Nothing like credit,” Henry agreed. “Well, the kind you can use then forget it.”
“You can buy anything that suits you,” Selena said.
We men cleaned the table up and tossed the trash away.”
Looking up, I saw Selena grabbing her tool kit and extra weapons.
She gave me a nod. “I’m not sure if the housekeeper will understand the knives and man traps.” She shoved everything into a backpack.
I smirked. “Probably not.”
“Man traps?” Rain asked.
“Yeah, aren't those like lingerie, lace bras, stripper poles and such?” Henry nodded.
Selena and I swung our gazes over to him. Then we both laughed.
“Only if barbed wire and pain is included,” I replied.
Rain’s brows rose as he asked, “And a tripwire?”
Selena stopped and stared at him. “You have used this trap?”
“I sure have. I call it Whan, Bam, Ow.”
I nodded. “Si, I felt just like that when I saw it. Good name for it.”
Rain went on, “I found that it works better if the tripwire is four feet from the barbs.”
“Oh?” she replied. “I have it at about three. But I’ve never tested it out on a real man.”
