THIRTEEN

Teague

Teague couldn’t find Vern anywhere. Damn his father for calling him in at such a perilous time. To conserve energy while he searched, he stayed in his true form and ghosted over the city. He flew over the beaches and around the art deco buildings. Nothing.

The sun rose over the beach, sending streaks of orange and pink across the sky, reflecting into the water. It might have been a beautiful sight if the unusual pain hadn’t cracked Teague’s empty heart. He had to find Vern, and he had no clue where he had gone.

Teague had no choice but to widen his search, but after a few hours, he lost hope. He’d never find Vern in such a big city. Stopping near a highway overpass, he dipped under and transformed away from prying eyes, then walked to the cheap diner to grab something to eat—the fastest way to refuel, but not the only way.

He grabbed the handle of the glass door and turned to toss his cigarette into the parking lot when he caught sight of something interesting across the street. He let go of the door and walked over to the Sleep Away Hotel where the cab of an eighteen-wheeler was parked. All nice and shiny and blue with a pair of dice painted on the side and the words Big Roller under them. Only one rig had that paint job. The guy who had given Vern a ride. They’d had sex, too. It made Teague irrationally jealous to think about it. He didn’t want to believe it. It broke his heart, but he still couldn’t hold it against Vern. He did what he had to do. To survive. And Teague couldn’t interfere.

Teague’s chest tightened at the memory. It was the same hotel they had stayed at before, and Teague needed to know if Vern had returned. Why else would this guy still be hanging around? He needed to hit the road in his rig and leave Vern alone. It made him ridiculously angry to think about them together, though he had no right. In fact, he shouldn’t have any emotions at all about who Vern took up with or what they got up to, but he still did. Despite how things should have been, Teague would be pleased to rip this trucker’s head off.

He walked the length of the hotel building. He’d left his tools back at his hotel, thinking he could search faster without his pockets full of crap, but it also meant he couldn’t hear into the rooms. It limited him severely, but if he had to get them, it might take too long before he returned. By then, Randy could be gone and Vern with him. He couldn’t afford to let them go without him seeing. He’d have to wait.

He jogged to the back of the building and ducked behind a group of close-cropped trees. He no longer had the cover of darkness with the sun overhead. It was nearly noon. He grumbled and wasted the energy to transform back to his true form, shining iridescence in the sun.
