Chapter 53

* * * *

Todd didn’t like being bait at all, and he reallyhated the idea of Nick being bait. This really was the best plan, though. The best plan was always the best choice and upped the odds significantly for survival.

The first thing he did was locate the donation box, and while Nick snickered, Todd stuffed enough money in to cover the cost of the bed. Nick stood on tiptoe and looked over Todd’s shoulder.

“Are you sure that’s enough?”

Todd snorted. “Shut up, Nicky.”

They left the church and headed down the street with Todd doing his best to ignore Nick’s thinly disguised chuckles. He wanted to make sure they could get on board the boat as soon as it arrived. According to the schedule Todd had read in their suite, the boat would stay at this port until dusk, and then two days later, they’d return to their starting point at the Annabelle’s home port.
