Twist and Cade and Danny Dill were sitting on the front deck, in the early-morning sunshine, while Odin sat at the kitchen table with his laptop, trying to figure a way through the disaster of the damaged flash drives.

Danny was saying, “I don’t really need the money, and things are getting tense around here, you know? More and more assholes showing up. I’m thinking maybe I should go on the road. Write a book: The Legend of Johnny Weedseed: How Danny Dill Took the Stromboni Hybrid to America.”

“I know some publishers who would go for that,” Twist said. “I’ll do the dust jacket.”

Danny leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes and said, “Man, that would be epic.”

“Yeah, well, first you got to drive around America with the weed seed,” Cade said.

Odin came out on the porch, looked at them. “It’s gone. The data’s gone.”

“I thought we already knew that,” Twist said.

“I was hoping I could figure out a fix.”

There was a chirping sound from inside, not loud but attention-getting, like somebody had pulled a hawk’s tail. Danny said, “Got somebody coming in.”

Danny walked back inside and picked up a remote control and pointed it at a compact television built into a kitchen cabinet. The screen came alive, and they saw a Jeep far down the drive, bouncing toward the camera.

“Shay,” Twist said.

The four men went to stand by the deck railing as the Jeep pulled up to the garage. A moment later, Shay climbed out of the driver’s seat, and X hopped out after her and walked over to the corner of the garage and peed on it. Cruz and Fenfang got out of the back. They gathered up an assortment of backpacks and bags of stolen stuff, and they all started up the hill to the house.

The last few yards, Shay broke into a jog, ran up the steps, and gave Odin a squeeze, and then Twist and Cade. X was right behind her, and Cruz followed Fenfang up, and after all the hellos and introductions, Twist asked Cruz, “How bad is the arm?”

“It’s manageable.”

“It’s bad,” said Shay.

Danny: “Come on inside. Let’s look.”

Shay: “You’re a doctor?”

“Not in the official doctorate-degree sense, but I know some stuff. People got dogs out here, I’ve seen some bites….”

Something in his voice was convincing, and at the kitchen table, they moved Odin’s laptop aside and Danny unwrapped Cruz’s arm.

A mess: the flesh ripped and torn, blue bruises now covering his whole lower arm to his wrist, black dried blood coating his forearm muscles.

Twist: “That needs a doctor.”

“Yeah. I got a doc in town who won’t ask questions,” Danny said. “Maybe he’ll look at the dog, too—he’s a loose kinda doctor.”

Odin was standing next to Fenfang and said, “We need a couple of prescription drugs.”

Twist to Odin: “We got those recommendations from Janes. What if it’s another part of the trap?”

“What trap?” Shay asked.

“Tell you later,” Odin said. “I looked up the drugs, and they’re really for seizures. Maybe this doctor can give us some.
