Ah, thought Murdock, so there's nothing there after all. It only made sense - what would Grayday want from Engel when he already had a gorgeous woman like Catori to warm his bed? And what was Murdock doing here with Engel when Poppy'd already agreed to keep him company?

He supposed it wasn't company he was after.

"What?" asked Murdock, reluctantly raising his eyes. There was nothing there but greenery, which left the male feeling as though some kind of trick were about to be played on him. He eyed Engel warily, waiting for an explanation.
