A man with a baby strapped to his chest sat down with him. There were other empty tables and Cade looked up and was about to say something when he recognized the man, but... when did the baby. Nothing he'd found had said there as a baby involved. Did he kidnap it?
"I didn't know you had a kid."
Nox chuckled. "I didn't know I had a brother."
Right to the point. "Yeah, neither did I. Well at least not on my mother's side." Cade held out his hand. "Kincaid Reece, but everyone calls me Cade since Kincaid is my father."
"Nox Durante. Cade, why did you seek me out?"
Cade laughed. "You really are blunt aren't you?"
Nox licked his lips and dropped his gaze like he was thinking. "Sorry. Yeah, direct is my typical MO. I could be a little more tactful, I suppose. Got a lot on my mind." Which didn't look to be the full truth, but he didn't want to talk about it so Cade wouldn't press.
"The why isn't really important yet. I have a reason, but I'm not just here for that. I have a brother I know nothing about. You are like non-existent before Moscow and everything I find here is viral videos and extraordinary abilities. I kinda want to know who you are now. After meeting Anna and Elyse, I get the feeling you are a good person to know. I have a lot of questions."
Nox tugged off the big puffy jacket and untied the bundle of joy from his chest and held her in the crook of his arm. She was so tiny. She looked healthy. He looked like he cared for her. He even smiled as she coo'd up at him. He took a long swig of his coffee and nearly spit it out. "Fuck that's hot."
It was coffee, of course it was hot. Something was off about this guy. But he didn't let it phase him for long as he turned his attention back to Cade. "I want to know the reason you are here. It won't affect how we proceed. You saught me out for a reason and it wasn't so we could catch up."
He really was blunt. It wasn't even a facade. He didn't try to hid it behind a smile or friendliness. "Uh. That's personal, but I guess. My son died of genetic defect and I wanted to know my family history. So I dug into my mother's past to find that she had lived, and that she had another family. I realize she's passed now, but I was hoping you'd know more."
