Jack stepped into the hallway with a bath towel tied around his waist and called out for Donny. When Donny didn’t answer, Jack assumed he was still out on his morning jog through the neighborhood. He went into Donny’s bedroom and, opening dresser drawers, began looking for some clean clothes that might fit him. Jack was a respectable one-eighty-five with a six-pack, but it wasn’t because Donny was a donut cop on the verge of a heart attack that Jack would most likely be unable to fit into his clothes. Donny was two hundred and twenty pounds of solid, veins-popping-out mass. And he never ate donuts.

Movement in his periphery put his search on pause. Standing tall, he turned and gazed into a full-length mirror that was hanging on the wall across from him. He didn’t look one-eighty-five anymore. He looked frail, weak. A salesman. And he wondered just how in the world this small man staring back at him was going to set things right.

With a gun, that’s how. Guns were the great equalizers, as the man in his garage had learned. But then, that was what Donny and Johnson were talking about, wasn’t it? That was the kind of Hollywood crap that would get him killed. Or save his life, as had been the case with the intruder. With nowhere to go, though, it was irrelevant. He could daydream all he wanted of storming some Communist compound with his 9 mm blazing, rescuing his wife and son from the hands of some ridiculous James Bond villain with metal teeth, but without a compound to storm, the fantasy could never even tempt becoming a reality.

He turned away from the sight and went back to the dressers, rummaging through socks and…black-laced lingerie? Unless his friend was into some really strange stuff or spent his undercover nights in drag, it looked as if Donny’s girlfriend had begun to take over ample dresser space. He found three more outfits, some T-shirts, pajamas, and some really short jean shorts that he hoped were hers, too. But that didn’t seem like something Donny would allow. Sharing his bed with a woman was one thing, but his dresser? That wasn’t the Donny he knew. Maybe this relationship was serious. If so, it would be the first for his friend.

Setting down the lace and pushing from his mind the more recent memories that it suggested, he settled on the smallest clothes he could find. A dark pair of jeans that fit him fine and a tight black T-shirt that was probably the girlfriend’s. He pulled them on and looked in the mirror. The shirt was a little tight, but it made him look more like the one-eighty-five he used to be. He just double-checked to make sure there was no Victoria Secret branding hidden anywhere.

When he turned back to close the drawers, he noticed a little black box nestled in the corner of the top drawer. Curious, he took it out and flipped open the lid. A diamond ring.
