Chapter 12

Understanding that was all Mick would say about being gay, at least for now, Wynn pressed the review button on the camera after turning it on. Before showing the picture to Mick, he focused it in so just Lionel’s face was visible.

Mick frowned at that but didn’t say anything as he studied the picture. “Not quite what I expected. He’s fairly normal.”

With a tight laugh, Mick replied, “Would have made identifying him easier.”

“So now you know what he looks like.”

“I do.” Mick leaned back against the headboard, studying Wynn. “Any chance you’ll let me see the rest of the picture—or the other one?”

“I can’t.”

“Why not?”
