Summary
He’s a slim, too-pretty boy of twenty, and the men of this particular underworld talk about him as though he’s an open flame, a sparking engine near a pool of gasoline: volatile, and not to be handled. Kid’s got balls of sheer fucking steel, Damen’s contact said.
Which must be true, because having just lost a race against Damen for pink slips, Laurent looks him straight in the eye and says, “Double or nothing?” in a voice like vodka poured straight from the freezer.

Summary
The motel they finally pull into isn’t the first one Damen’s seen with the ‘vacancy’ sign blinking, but it’s apparently the first one that meets whatever precise combination of details that Laurent is looking for because it’s the first one he motions for Damen to stop at. Personally Damen hopes that some of those precise combination of details include things like ‘probably not going to be murdered by a drunk prostitute’ and ‘has at least mostly clean running water,’ although he can’t imagine either one of those would be safe bets based on the look of the place.
He also hopes that it’s not simply the first motel that Laurent picked because he had been unconscious when they passed the others.
