“I keep a small, walk-up apartment. Nothing fancy. A place to sleep when I’m in town. You planning on returning permanently to the States?”

“I think so. As soon as I settle this custody battle over Brandon, I’ll go back to Kourou and pack up.”

Mike shrugged. “I wouldn’t worry about Brandon’s custody. Sounds like a slam dunk to me.”

“He’s a priss. Are you planning on legally adopting the kid?”
