Chapter Five

Garth scanned his corner of the park for the twentieth time that day and wished, yet again, that he was back in the safety and comfort of Clem’s bed. He checked his watch but could have worn the hands hadn’t moved. Shaking his wrist made no difference. The view from his position at the front of the ghost train was restricted by several other rides and stalls. Because of its size, the ghost train was set in a corner, so his outlook on the approaching paths was limited. The crowds were thinner than usual and Garth found himself examining every face for any sign of malevolent intent. His observation skills, honed by fear, had detected a pickpocket who the security team picked up soon after Garth had alerted them. That was the most excitement he’d had so far and he hoped it stayed that way. There had been no sign of Clem, but, over breakfast that morning, he had said he needed to keep a low profile.

Garth fingered the leather wrapped around his wrist. The cuff had been a gift from Clem, who had said it was too soon for a collar, but that Garth needed a reminder that Clem wasn’t far away.

“Hey, pretty boy! Stop daydreaming and get the fucking ride started.”

Garth jabbed at the button that sent the car and its foulmouthed occupant and his girlfriend through the doors into the ride.

“Bet he wets himself, the dick,” Garth muttered.

“Trouble?”

Garth hadn’t even noticed Adam approach. So much for being alert to danger. “Hey. Nothing I can’t handle, just the usual loudmouth wanker trying to impress his girlfriend.”

Adam scowled. “Maybe I’ll just hang around here until he comes out of the other end of the ride.”

“Okay.” Garth offered his friend a smile. “Thanks.”

“No problem.” Adam folded his arms across his chest, making his biceps bulge. He got a wolf whistle from a group of girls waiting in the queue. Garth rolled his eyes.

“Wait ’til I tell Stevie about you showing off to a bunch of women.”

“Why would Stevie care?” Adam tried to pretend he wasn’t bothered but couldn’t quite pull it off.

“Jesus, you two need to get your collective act together. If there’s one thing the last twenty-four hours have taught me, it’s that life is too fucking short to waste.”

“I don’t know what you mean.” A pink blush on Adam’s cheeks betrayed the lie.

“You like him. He likes you. You don’t need Zach to do the maths on that one.” Garth sent car after car into the darkness.

“It’s not that easy,” Adam grumbled. “I don’t want to ruin our friendship.”

“What you want is to get into Stevie’s trousers.”

“Well, there is that.” Adam focused his attention on the exit doors. The next car to come through contained the idiot who had sworn at Garth, though he was now two shades paler and a lot more subdued. Adam glowered in his direction and Garth had to hold back a laugh as the man bolted from the car, leaving his girlfriend to get out on her own, muttering under her breath about the need to “dump his sorry arse.
