When Zero took me back to the VIP room of Club Blue Flame, I stopped to ask him, "Would you want to meet your biological mother?"
Zero shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not sure. I just wanted to know who she was and where she was. I haven't thought that much about whether I wanted to meet her."
"If you want, we could go to her together. I...need her to tell me the truth from her own mouth."
Zero held the door open for himself, so that he could go back to his lair. "If you want, we could do that."
I smiled, "Let me know, okay?"
Zero nodded. Then he waved as he turned, "See ya later, little sis."
My heart warmed for a second.
"See ya," I responded.
And gone was Zero.
I heard a different kind of music playing from somewhere.
A band?
Where did the club music go?
A voice sweet as honey and smooth as fudge echoed through the building, and I was curious to see the person to whom the voice belonged.
