It was late at night at the Burke Estate. Sophie was curled up at the edge of the bed, while Colby woke up in the
early hours. He felt a hand holding his and was startled. Seeing Sophie beside him, he thought he was still

Colby realized his oversight and quickly dropped the gauze, dashed to the door, and shouted down the hallway,
"William! Get over here!"
William was deep in sleep until Colby's shout jolted him awake. "Coming, coming! Your Highness!"
He scrambled out of bed and rushed over. When Gordon had Rick recruit him, they warned that being on call
24/7 was part of the job. Miss a call once, lose a grand; twice, lose two.

"I don't want her to feel pain, not even for a second."
"Too much anesthetic can mess with your brain. Think about it, or lethandle the dressing?"
"No need, the gauze is already off."
Sophie's voice drifted from inside the room, reaching both men. William tried to peek in, but the door slammed
shut right in his face.
