Re: quicklog, hotel: graham & jake
[Jake noticed resignation just fine. He watched it settle like volcanic dust, like giving up. Graham was giving the hell up and he didn't feel pleased any, but the kick in the teeth he hadn't expected. Graham had fixed it all right up, for that new little girl. No more mob and no more walking the wrong side of the law, and maybe he'd smooth it all over real fine so that little girl grew up with a Daddy. Two Daddies, living with Shane, who hadn't been nothing but a name to Jake, growing up real distant.
But the baby's mom was in Gotham and he didn't know why she didn't want her baby any. Maybe the baby's mom was like Graham, and figured it was too darn difficult to figure out how to stick around.]
Why doesn't she want her? [Jake looked at him, blue eyes and steady chin and nothing about him shook any at that question. ] She think it's too dangerous to bother with too?
