Tommy almost laughed when the man asked about the Lion King. To be honest it just sort of popped into his head, but he really didn't feel like explaining it. If the man had offered his own name, Tommy wouldn't have given him one.
They all seemed to think he was tailing Durante. It wasn't exactly true and wasn't exactly true or false. He was hired to find out who the man was and figure out where he was. That was Tommy's specialty - finding people. But this group had assumptions. He would deal with those in a moment.
"Fun perhaps wasn't the right word. Interesting or intriguing perhaps. You see, I like solving puzzles and you three are quite the puzzle. For example, both of you say Nox isn't a friend, yet here you are."
He turned to face Nala. She wore a serious and businesslike expression on her face. She really wanted to know if Nox was dangerous. By his own admission, the man was and Tommy didn't doubt it. Not many can sit and eat dinner while a man was holding a gun to them and not bat an eye. Nox's admission had been somewhat of a surprise.
"'It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.'" Tommy wondered if anyone would recognize the reference. "You assume I am tailing Nox,. Your assumption, although logical, is incorrect. I've been in Moscow long enough to get from the airport to here. There is no way I could have been tailing him, and if I was, I'm sure he would have noticed." His own gaze mirrored her own, except he kept the threat out of it. All joking was pushed aside and he was serious. "But your question is whether or not my interest in Nox has to do with him being dangerous. The answer is no. And Nox you may rest easy. I'm not interested in a hookup either." He allowed the mirth to come back into his voice on the last line.
