CHAPTER 16

T he first drops of rain came from the sky like fat, graceless tadpoles plopping to the asphalt as we flew down the highway. The weather had been hot and dry for so long I could almost hear the water hiss as it landed, and I imagined puffs of steam rising.

“Am my deluding myself or is that actual rain?” Zero asked, leaning toward the windshield as though he needed a better look to be sure.

A monster drop splattered square in the middle of the windshield, and Vandal turned on the wipers.

“Go figure—Vandal finally gives us a day off and it rains.”

The man in question turned his head to glare at me where I was squashed into the half backseat then turned his attention back to the road. “You say that like you never go swimming or get laid or take naps in the middle of the day. If you’re that lazy, no wonder you lived in that shithole apartment.”

“Oh my God, I used to work full time before I got laid off. It’s not my fault that I have trouble staying focused on writing as long as you do. I don’t think my brain is designed to do one task for so many hours a day every day. My mind wanders.”

Vandal snorted. “Then keep it on a shorter leash. You and Zero give me the same excuses. If your mind is undisciplined then you need to work on it, not shrug your shoulders like it’s completely beyond your control.”

“Different people have different abilities, Van,” Zero said, playing mediator as he often did. “Just because something is easy for you doesn’t mean the rest of us are pseudo-androids.”

“Lord help me. My best friend and my protégée are both whiners.”

I barked a laugh. “How did I go from thief, to interloper, to unwanted guest, to protégée?”

“I believe that last step has something to do with letting him have your ass.” Zero shot me an amused look over his shoulder. “If I’d been the one who’d fucked you in the ass, I’d upgrade you to something sexier like my mistress or my…paramour.”

“So to get a fancy title I’d have to submit to another ass-fucking?” I asked, grinning back at him. “I’ll pass for now, but I’ll keep that in mind. Maybe if Vandal does tricks for us, we can give him a fancy title too.”

“I’m not your fucking boyfriend, if that’s the title you’re thinking of,” Vandal said with unnecessary churlishness.

“Wow—I’m crushed. Truly.” I laughed. “But your attitude is going to get you stuck with a title like ‘prick’ or ‘asshat’ if you’re not careful.”

He snorted. “Good.”

The man was impossible, but I was starting to find it funny.

“How are you so old and grouchy at your age?” Zero asked, sounding sincere.

“I wouldn’t feel so old and grouchy if I wasn’t surrounded by fucking idiots.”

I eyed the back of his head speculatively. “I bet he has writer’s block, and that’s why we all got the day off.”

“I do not have writer’s block!”

“It happens to the best of us,” Zero assured him.
