The closest book, no cheating (it's the one on the top of my 'don't-fit-anywhere-anymore-God-what-am-I-going-to-do-with-so-many-books' pile), it's the one I'm reading right now. Seriously, I'm on page 30, I'm going to be spoiled like mad *g*
He's got his own security detail of half a dozen other guys in suits. Even though they aren't doing security, they couldn't help ssending along a token delegation to show de colors.
