Isaac was still standing in the doorway when Jason tapped Will on the shoulder. “You can stop shooting now.” Will took his finger off the controller’s trigger, then set down the controller. Jason gave him a look, so he stuck the thing in his jacket pocket before reholstering the Sig.

The three walked to the car in a group, and when Isaac began to choke on a mouthful of vomit, Jason took the keys from his hand and threw him headfirst behind the wheel.

“Why in the fuck did you make me puke in my car?”

Isaac screamed at Jason, vomit dripping from his mouth and covering his lap and the steering wheel.

Jason looked at Isaac from the passenger seat, smiled, and then slapped him, hard enough to spray the puke from his lips across the windshield. Will, sitting in the backseat now, thought for sure it was all going to unravel now. He had just watched a man be tortured and then strangled to death, and not only had he stood by and watched, but some small and very cruel part of him had enjoyed it. Hadn’t Mumbo been there with Alex? He had, and if they were really friends, he would have killed Chris for shooting Alex, and none of this would have had to happen.

“You guys stay put. I’m going to get some towels so we can get most of the sick off of you, and then you can go in the bathroom and wash up.” Jason left the car, and the two brothers watched him walk inside to talk to the cashier.

“Are you OK, dude?” Will said it in a way that he thought might not be too offensive, but he could tell by Isaac’s tone that he had failed.

“No. No, I’m not OK. I’m covered in puke, I feel like I’ve got a loose tooth from where he slapped me, and we could be charged with torturing and murdering that man. Not to mention we’re about to go do the same thing again.”

“I think we have to. If you ask Jason, he’ll say the same thing. Right now, we’ve got the element of surprise. The cops aren’t looking for us, and neither are the bad guys. I have a feeling that everything will stop after we find this Chris guy.”

Will shut his mouth. They could see Jason returning to the car with a
