Twenty-five

I lay in bed all night thinking about Famazio’s warning and the pins in his leg. My aches and pains were starting to subside. I’d been lucky that I’d survived my first two run-ins with Lonnie and Mo. I wondered who the third time would be the charm for.

I went for a run on the beach in the morning, the sunshine promising a warm day as it glistened off the ocean. For the first time in a while, the pain in my body was due more to exertion than to fighting.

I showered and was throwing on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt when my cell phone rang. I found it on the dining room table.

“Hello?”

“Where you at?” Carter asked, the line humming with music and a car engine.

“Home.”

“Thought we might go make a run at Deacon Moreno.”

It seemed like a month since I’d first heard Moreno’s name. I still hadn’t come up with a reason for why Moreno would come after me, other than my looking for Linc.

“Okay. Where are you?”

“Just dropped Dana off,” he said, and I could tell he was smiling.

“Jesus.”

“She did mention something about me performing like the Messiah.”

“I’ll bet.”

“I need something to eat before we go do this.”

“Shocker.”

“In-N-Out in Mission Valley?”

“Be there in half an hour.”
