Chapter 9

Davey whispered to Jake, “Practically everything I own is in that suitcase. Can I take it and the coats up myself?” He blushed in embarrassment.

“Regis is the porter and has been here since the building opened. The doorman, Stanley has worked here just as long as Regis,” Jake said in an undertone, then louder, “Stan, Davey will be staying with me for the foreseeable future. He will need a key to the condo and a passkey to the pool and workout rooms.”

“Yes, Mr. Cohen, I’ll call the office.” Stanley made a note and put it on his desk. “You’ll have the keys by tomorrow morning and the passkeys for the amenities in your mailbox when you get home.”

The porter stood behind Jake and Davey waiting for them to go upstairs. Jake pushed the up button and once in the elevator, inserted a key card and pushed the button for the fifty-fifth floor. The elevator didn’t stop once on its way to the fifty-fifth.
