Nolan had schooled his emotions, but his eyes spoke death when his sister's new pompous husband came out of her room. He closed the door behind him and tucked a handkerchief into his pocket. Henry's expression was that of cool civility as he took out his wallet and removed a business card. Nolan could see a flash of hundred dollar bills as he was handed the card. Henry explained, "This is my personal number. Give me a text when . . . something happened, or if you can tell me something that will make Ellie's stay here easier for everyone. You let me know what she would accept. I could have her moved to another part of the hospital which has a VIP suite if you'd like to stay later."
He didn't want to, but he did accept the information. Nolan would have future conversations with the villain. He shook his head, "Ellie doesn't need anything fancy from you."
