Chapter 85

&ldquo;Be my guest,&rdquo; Rio said.

&ldquo;Then you won&rsquo;t mind if I see if he&rsquo;d like to have some fun at the bonfire tonight?&rdquo;

&ldquo;Why should I? I ain&rsquo;t got no plans for the little shit.&rdquo; But even as he said it, Rio felt a pang of something he couldn&rsquo;t quite identify. He forced it out of his mind. The guy was bad news and that was that.

* * * *

Mack and Seth planned some sort of icebreaker at the beginning of each week to get the guests interacting with each other&mdash;either a dance party in The Watering Hole Saloon, a barbeque on the patio, or a pool party. That night it would be a bonfire. A path behind the stable led to a wooded area that opened into a clearing in the center of which was a large, stone-lined fire pit. Around the pit were large logs and lounge chairs. There would be music and a portable bar.
