Chapter Thirty-Three

The Whole World is in Heat

Shay

McNab and I make a mad dash for his rental car. Not a reporter to be found in the garage. Thank God! McNab peels out of the parking spot then out onto the street. I’m sure he actually looked before pulling out, but I missed it. “Hey now, there’s nobody following us. You can relax.” I hold on to the ‘oh shit bar’ to steady myself. “Where are we going?”

“You’ve got to get that nightmare drawn, pronto.” His arms are locked on the steering wheel as though it will make him one with the car.

“I can’t.” I look at him quizzically.

“You have to.”

“No, no I can’t. I don’t have any art supplies and Aiden doesn’t want me to–” He cuts me off.

“Screw what Aiden says, I need you to draw it. You need to draw it. I’ll take care of the art supplies.” McNab pulls into a strip mall with a megastore as the anchor. “Go get what you need.”

“I don’t have my backpack or wallet. I don’t have anything with me.” I raise my hands and contemplate turning my non-existent pockets inside out for effect.

He expels an annoyed breath, getting out of the car. “Come on, let’s go.”

We move quickly; I’m trying not to be too picky. My supplies are typically hard to find, since most comics are done digitally now. I prefer to work old school. I think it adds charm, motion, and feeling to each panel.

I settle for a sketch pad and some pens that will make do, but I’m definitely not satisfied with my haul. But hey, it’s a means to an end, so I’m not going to complain. Besides, these drawings will likely never see the light of day.

McNab foots the bill and we’re back in the car in a matter of minutes. He pulls out onto the road and bangs a hard right into the next parking lot, a seedy hotel on Tampa Avenue. It’s the kind you think only exists in movies—and right about now I’m wishing they didn’t exist at all.

“Okay, what are we doing here?” I can’t begin to imagine why McNab pulled in here.

“I can’t have Aiden busting in on you while you’re working.” He says, putting the car in park. “I’ll be right back.”

I look at the marquee below the sign. It reads ‘Hourly Rentals.’ Gross. Where is he bringing me? I see him up at the window. This motel has no lobby. He makes his way back to the car at a trot. His hair blowing in the wind, again I notice that he’s handsome, but dismiss it because he’s just too weird. Besides, I’m ‘not his type.’

McNab gets in the car, holding the key with his fingertips like it’s a dead fish. “Here.” He motions for me to take it like it’s radioactive.

“Ew, I don’t want it.” I recoil—it just might be radioactive, or be riddled with more diseases than Taffy’s clientele.

“Get some tissue from the glove box.” He rolls his eyes.
