Andrew pulled free and folded his arms over his chest. He drummed the fingers of one hand on his bicep as he thought. Finally he laughed and turned away. He went back to Kevin's side and grinned up at Kevin. Instead of asking about Neil's name, he said in English, "It'll have to do, won't it?"

Kevin looked like he'd swallowed a rock, but Andrew wasn't waiting for his answer. "Bee, I'll see if Nicky is still breathing. Then we can go, right? The sooner we start, the sooner we can get this mess over with."

"You could wait for Aaron," one of the lawyers said. Neil guessed that meant he was Waterhouse, the twin's attorney. "I'm on my way to get him now."

"No time for that," Andrew said. "He can take a number and wait."

He sailed down the hall to Nicky's bedroom. Betsy watched the door close behind him, then sent Neil a considering look. Neil looked at Kevin so he wouldn't look at her. Kevin was staring hard at Wymack as if waiting for Wymack to put an end to this. Wymack ignored him and saw the lawyers out.

"Aaron?" Neil asked when Wymack came back alone.

"Waterhouse thinks he can get Aaron released until trial on his recognizance," Wymack said. "Matt's mother offered to wire money for his bond if necessary. Waterhouse tried to meet with Aaron last night and let him know, but Aaron wouldn't see him. Hopefully hearing about all of this," he jerked his chin as if to indicate Andrew's upcoming departure, "will get him moving, but who knows when it comes to those two? Speaking of unpredictable assholes, when did that happen?"

"When did what?" Neil asked.

Wymack eyed him. "Forget it."

"I can't believe you're sending Andrew away," Kevin said, a little sharply.

"Technically I'm not," Wymack said. "Betsy is. And it doesn't really matter what you believe, because it's already settled."

"What about the season?" Kevin asked. "What about Riko?"

"What about Andrew? Attempt to think about someone and something else for just a moment there." Wymack waited a beat to make sure that accusation sunk in. "I know you're scared, but he needs this, Kevin. He's not any good to you until he gets his shit sorted, and he can't sort a damn thing when he's buzzing three miles off the ground. You know that."

Betsy waited a moment to see if Kevin would speak, then said, "I don't know how long it will take to get Andrew checked in, David. It's probably best if you don't wait for me."

"We could," Wymack said, but Betsy only shook her head. A door opening down the hall distracted Wymack and he scowled as Andrew returned. "When you said you were going to see if he was bleeding I assumed you were going to take time to explain this to him."
