Chapter Eight

Sam drummed her fingers on the steering wheel, fighting the sudden terror she had of the man behind her. She could feel his fury. That kid told on her. Somehow the boy knew. The look Ruin had given her in the rearview mirror said that had to be what the boy told him. She wanted to tell him not to worry, she had no intention of being linked to him outside of friendship. Not to mention she was a guy. She’d trained long enough to be one and she was damn good at it, happy with it. She couldn’t be a woman to save her life.

The man emanating a shit load of negative energy behind her, finally unloaded. “She’s a woman?” Ruin’s tone dripped with enough disgust and acid to burn up the air particles.

“No, I’m a man,” Sam said.

“Holy hell,” Ruin said incredulous. “She actually just told the truth which has me really confused, now. Is she a man or is she a woman?”

“She’s a woman,” Scriber said.

“I may have woman parts, but I am all man. We’ll make great friends.”

“Like hell we will,” Ruin said.

“Fine, we won’t make great friends, we’ll make great enemies,” Sam muttered.

“I realize this is a stupid question,” Ruin said, but why in all disgust would you want to be a man when you’re a woman, my curiosity has just surpassed my need to kill you for lying.”

“Let’s get something straight, mister. It ain’t your business what I am,” she said. “How was I supposed to know you’d be linking on me? If I want to be a man with woman’s parts, that’s what I’ll frackin be and it isn’t your right to know it much less have issues with it.”

“I should burn the hair right off your head.”

“And I’ll punch you in your frackin little dick. I may be a man, but I do like the little bit of hair I have.”

“You are a woman you sick freak.”

“Well since you want me to be a woman—“

“I don’t want you to be a woman!”

“Good! Yeehaw,” she cried, sucking on her cigarette hard.

“She has her reasons for what she does,” Scriber said, making Sam a bit uncomfy with Scriber now. How much did he actually know and how did he come by knowing it? While he used her body?

“Look,” she pointed her cigarette at the ink dude. “I don’t know how you came by your knowledge, but I’d appreciate you respecting my privacy.”

“A fucking woman playing to be a man. And I link to that? Is this my final punishment for the unknown sins I’ve committed somewhere?” he yelled to nobody in particular.

Sam reminded herself what he’d just endured and lost. “Look,” she began, “I told you about my past, my childhood. I told you all about my wicked little step sister and how I was made to do things. Well…” she sucked on her cigarette, “I forgot to mention that she didn’t want a sister, she wanted a brother. And so they obliged
