Hm. Considerate of him, anyway.
After a quick shower and the use of his toothbrush, Cade padded across the
room to the bed, slipped under the sheets, and went to sleep almost as soon as
his head hit the pillow.
Chapter Twenty-one
Cade snapped awake Sunday morning for no good reason that he could imagine.
The phone wasn't ringing, nobody was knocking on his door, and the TV was off.
He sat up and glanced around the room and saw no Mandi, but her luggage was
still by the desk. His travel alarm clock -- set not to go off at all -- read
almost eight o'clock on the nose. Hm. What the hell had wakened him?
Feeling ravenously hungry, Cade visited the bathroom and drank several
glasses of water to fill the void. That took the edge off his hunger as he
cleaned up and dressed, then headed for the restaurant for breakfast.
As he left his room, he saw Ray Lewis enter the ops room across the hall and
headed that way to see about some wake-up coffee and a general situation report.
Tony answered the ops door and let him in, and as Cade entered the room, he saw
Beth by the coffee pot.
Beth looked up from stirring her cup and saw him.
