CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

We dropped him in the back of the truck. Max and Diesel had their shovels and a tamp bar in there, so he was a bit unhappy about that also.

“Jesus Christ! Wait until I tell my dad about this! He is going to have your balls.”

I climbed in the back with him and slapped the side of the truck cab to let Max know I was ready. “Really? Is it okay if I save the rest for your mother?”

“Fuck you. You’re a goddamn whack job.”

I didn’t say anything. I just smiled and stared at him until he turned his head.

When we got to the station, I stood him up, and we walked him in. We had two holding cells. One was filled with boxes of paper and who knows what from the previous administration; the other was guest-ready. We put him in there.

“Am I going to get a doctor? I want to make a phone call.”

“Yep, we’ll get right on it,” I told him. We left him mumbling to himself in the cell and went back to the main area of the station.

“Diesel, take the truck and see if you can get Donna to come by and take a look at him, will you?”

“No problem.” He didn’t hesitate, either. I think he was still bothered by losing it in the field.

We waited until the door had shut. Max put his boots up on the desk. “So, how do you want to do it, G? I think you have established a rapport with him—not that I would mind beating the snot out of him.”

“We might not have to, Max.”

“Do tell.”

“Well, let me tell you his backstory. I’m guessing on this but I bet I’m pretty close. He’s young, probably not more than nineteen. His dad is someone back in the Zone, probably military. He’s gay. Dad didn’t like it. He ran and ended up with whoever the hell he ended up with.”

“The wrong crowd?”

We both laughed. “Yeah. Those people. I think he has a lover in town. That shouldn’t be too hard to find out. There can’t be more than four gay people in this town.”

“Actually five, but two are a lesbian couple, so I think we can rule them out.”

“You got an idea who then?”

“Yeah. He’s in the militia. I doubt if he has any connection to what happened on the road. I’ll talk to him anyway as soon as Diesel gets back.”

“So we make Casey here an offer,” I said. “We tell him he can go home—that is, if Daddy will pick him up—but he has to tell us where his buddies are. We go wipe them out. Maybe Daddy shows his gratitude in a tangible way.”

“Sounds like a plan. You want to make the offer?”

“Sure. If Diesel comes back before I come out, you might have him take Donna for a walk.”

Max grinned. He knew what I meant. Donna was a healer, not a pain-giver. She might get upset if I had to resort to physical attitude adjustment tactics.
