Eliot stays back a few cars, easing along slowly enough that more than one of the boys on the side of the road comes to his window to try and get his attention. He ignores them completely, attention focused almost entirely on Damien's car, especially when he pulls over and a burly blond who looks a little better fed and better dressed than the general run of guys out hooking.
Jesus christ, but at least there's just about no chance the kid's actually a plant. It doesn't mean he's safe. That he won't recognize his john and the blackmail potential inherent in the situation. Or just that Damien's carrying a small fortune on him to someone like that, and rolling him for it might seem like a worthwhile risk. Eliot curses under his breath the entire way to the hotel after that, attention absolutely focused on keeping Damien in sight without letting himself stand out at all. Why, why is it his job to keep a complete dumbass alive?
