CHAPTER 9

WYATT & SHEPHERD

Wyatt bobbed his head as Billy Idol sang “Dancing with Myself” on the radio. His little 1971 Austin Mini Cooper zipped around cars like a bumblebee in a garden. No one had ever asked him why the driver’s side door was blue while the rest of the vehicle was red. Since the steering wheel was on the opposite side from standard American cars, he didn’t want to forget after decades of habit. When someone’s chasing you, there isn’t time to think. One tiny mistake like that could prove fatal, and Wyatt didn’t take chances with his life. Besides that, he loved the look.

Shepherd gripped the top of the car from his open window and cursed when Wyatt made another sharp turn.

“This is your fault,” Wyatt said, hitting the brakes at an intersection. “We have to pick up the cake, and you decide it’s a great day to get the van detailed.”

“We can’t put their wedding cake in the back of that dirty van. There’s blood I still haven’t cleaned up from the last job.”

Wyatt was peeved. That meant leaving his car in the city so they could drive the cake to the house. They had already argued about this. Wyatt wanted to follow behind the van, but Shepherd had insisted that Wyatt needed to sit in the back with the cake and guard it.

Wyatt had half a mind to eat the damn thing instead.

When the light turned green, he zipped around a taxicab. “After the party, we’re coming back to get my car.”

“I’m not driving your ass back into the city tonight,” Shepherd grumbled.

“That’s what you think.”

When they pulled up to the car-detailing place, Wyatt patiently waited while jamming to the Ramones. He watched Shepherd walk around and inspect the van inside and out. Normally they did all the work themselves with a big hose, but this service was run by two former cleaners who decided there was a business in cleaning other messes besides dead bodies.

After paying the guy, Shepherd hopped in the van and pulled out. Wyatt followed behind since it was only a few blocks to the cake shop. Their original plan was to take the cake back to Keystone and set it on the dining table. Then Christian decided at the last minute to move the location over to Crush’s trailer. He told them yesterday that he put a spare key under a cactus pot and wanted them to put the cake in the kitchen. He gave them all the information they needed, but Wyatt still had reservations.

Once he found a parking spot, he said a little prayer over his beloved car, hoping like hell it wouldn’t get stolen or towed. He stuffed his green beanie in his back pocket and jogged toward the shop. “What if the key isn’t there? Keys go missing all the time.”

Shepherd glared while getting out of the van, which he’d parked in front of the doors. “Then we’re breaking into the damn place.”

“Not a wise idea. You’ve met her dad.
