Chapter 6

Manu

“Damn!”

The front door slammed and rattled in its doorframe. Jack whined and slunk to his old bed under the stairs that Manu didn’t bother to move.

Things were just getting good with the twink when Sebastian Brevard showed at his door. The man’s timing sucked, and his attitude worse. Manu couldn’t change ancient history, but it was attitudes like Sebastian’s that didn’t help Manu’s business get off the ground.

Manu tried to tell himself that his anger wasn’t because Sebastian interrupted his make-out session with Alister. But an annoying low-level burn ran through every nerve ending.

“Come on, Jack,” said Manu. “Let’s take a walk.”

Jack picked up his head and put it down. He appeared depressed, and why wouldn’t he? George abandoned the pup and left him on Manu’s doorstep while Manu was out of town trying to work out the legal problem that kept his business in trouble.

It sucked that Manu had no money of his own for a lawyer. But as he learned in New York, he was no lawyer either.

He and Jack walked up the trail again, the very same one where he found Alister. At the same rock, Manu sat and watched as the sun set. The mountain tops stretched before him took on a purple cast as rare cumulus clouds rolled overhead, promising rain. But the Rockies could lie, too. The wind currents churned and swept over the land quickly, not caught in any valley. One day it could snow three inches, and on another the sun would shine, and the temperature could be eighty degrees. That’s what he loved about these mountains. Each day brought something new, like today they brought Alister.

Manu shook his head. But now, Brevard would have soured Alister on anything having to do with him. Besides, it was just better not to get involved. As much as he didn’t want to admit it, the whole George thing still sent tiny stabs to his heart when he thought about it.

And he hated that.

“Come on, Jack,” he said. “Let’s get home.”

But Jack circled the area as if looking for something, returned to the rock, sniffed Manu, and gazed up at him as if perplexed.

“What are you doing?”

Jack whined and pushed his head under Manu’s hand. With a shock, Manu recognized this from earlier when Jack did the same thing with Alister.

“He’s not here, buddy. He went with Sebastian, Sargeant Pupper’s dad.”

Jack gave him a sad face.

“Stop,” huffed Manu. “Some things don’t work out. You should know that from experience.”

Manu decided to take a walk to the road to check the mail. Jack didn’t mind the extra exercise, but all Manu found was a stack of bills. And an ominous letter. But all letters from lawyers looked like death was about to descend on you.

He sighed and walked up the hill with Jack trotting along or ahead faithfully. When he got home, he opened the mail to get the grim news and pulled out his laptop to check the grimmer news of his account balance. When Manu logged onto his bank account, he got a shock.
