Gray

We were nearly in Waco, and after the shit that went down at the gas station, I wasn't sure what to say to Dee. He was strapped into the backseat as he excitedly related to me the takedown I’d missed while I was pumping gas.

"He just kicked in the door and grabbed that man around the throat. He's like Superman, Gray," Dee gushed about Derek's heroics at the little store. I'd have to check with Derek, but I had a pretty good idea what had happened to cause the confrontation in the men’s room in the first place.

The fact my husband put a pervert on the floor in that minimarket was no surprise to me at all. It was a product of his protective nature. Me? I was just happy he didn't have a gun on his person. Things were already precarious with regard to what we were doing with Dee and Rashad. Him shooting a pervert at a truck stop wouldn’t go in our favor.

I was proud of Derek, but I damn well didn't want Dee relating the story to Addy Valentine. Having two mixed-race young boys with us for an unexpected visit was going to be enough to explain. Derek hadn't been able to get in touch with Quinn and Marisol to see if we could borrow the cabin, so we were going to Addy and Rick's first. I could only imagine how it would go.

We needed to comprise some sort of a story to explain the situation, but with us driving separate cars, it was a bit difficult to have the time to talk. I'd just have to let Derek lead and hope we had no problems. I crossed my fingers…

I pulled around the side of the house to the carport where the Buick was usually parked, though it was missing at the moment. There was an attached one-car garage, but I knew Rick's Cadillac Escalade was parked inside. He and Addy still had the insurance business, but they'd hired a young guy to run the day-to-day of it. Addy worked part-time to get away from Rick, who only went into the office once a month to schmooze with some of his biggest clients. It was working well for them and they were both happier for it.

"Who lives here?" Dee asked as he unbuckled his seatbelt in the backseat.

"Derek's mom and dad. They're really nice. I think you'll like them," I explained (optimistically) as I got out of the truck and helped him down to the running board where he jumped off. I handed him his backpack and grabbed the two bags of clothes we'd cobbled together before we left Austin like fugitives.

Dee looked at the house, which was very nice in a suburban sort of way, and then he looked back at me. "How they gonna feel about havin' me and Shady stayin' here? We didn’t have a nice place like this."

Derek walked up and wrapped his arm around my shoulders, turning me to look at him.
