“You WHAT?” Ace cried in Gunner’s face.

“I couldn’t…I couldn’t fucking help it, Ace. I haven’t felt this way towards a woman in...goddammit, I can’t even tell you!”

“So you go and sleep with our hostage? She polish your knob real good? And now you want to make her one of us? You’re out of your damn mind, Gunner. You can’t do this; she ain’t cut out for it. She’ll go squealing first thing once you let her out. She’ll be running down that road like a bat out of hell. You done it this time, Gunner. I knew we should never let anyone your age in charge. Dammit!”

“She won’t run, and she won’t tell, once we tell her the truth!”

“Oh, the truth. The truth will set you free, huh? The truth will make that bitch shut up? You got a funny notion of the power of the truth, Gunner.” Ace was pacing behind the bar. “I need a fucking drink.”

Ace poured a generous glass of whiskey for himself. Looking at Gunner, he sneered and poured a second glass.

“You can stop this now. It was one time. You can let go. Let someone else film the damn videos. Fall out of her life. Make her forget you. Never see her again. We can make that happen,” Ace said, rubbing his head after taking a long drink.

“Ace, I can’t do that. I…I love her,” Gunner said, swilling a good portion of his own glass. Ace looked at him and shook his head.

“You are a damn fool, Gunner. You figure it out then. But just so you know, if that…if that bitch brings us down, we’ll throw you to the flames and save our asses. ‘Cause that’s exactly what you’re doing to us right now.” Ace slammed the rest of his drink before picking his helmet up off the bar and heading towards the door. “You figure out something good, boy. For your own damn sake.”

Gunner stared into his glass, swirling the brown liquid around and around. He looked up, watery-eyed, and took a long sip. Then he looked out towards the shed.
