Ricky took the offered drink and sat down. He had guessed this was Hayden based on what Liv had said to the AI, asking him to come over. Of course he knew this was Elyse’s friend that was now talking to Marta. Ricky had been gone maybe a half hour and Cade was already getting cut off. He wasn’t dealing so well with it. You either took it one of two ways, Ricky thought, you took it in stride - or you tried to forget it.
”Enrique - or Ricky if you prefer and I’m Both,” Ricky said with a smirk at Hayden’s question. ”Full Eagle Scout. Atharim wasn’t the family business though. I was recruited in Mexico City.”
He turned to Cade. ”Its a lot to take in - all these fairy tales suddenly coming to life before your eyes. Been there. Drowned myself in a bottle of tequila the first night. I was the bartender - so didn’t have anyone to cut me off. Worst hangover I ever had. Anyways Doc - Cade was it? Anything I can do to help - questions about things that go bump in the night - whatever you feel you need.”
