Bad Timing

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, APRIL 1999

As he and Romeo entered Phoenix, Cody recalled the last time he was there. It had been in September of the previous year when they had traveled with Spenser to fulfill a contract. It had also been the first anniversary of the day his family was murdered.

As they whizzed along the highway, Cody remembered that time.

Cody Parker sat on the edge of his motel room bed and fought back tears as he thought about his slain family, who had been murdered one year ago to the day. Spenser had offered to stay with him and talk, but Cody declined the offer while saying that he’d be fine.

But he wasn’t fine. Despite his inherent toughness and stoical nature, Cody found himself becoming lost amid dark thoughts, and memories of the final moments of his loved ones’ lives. Along with it, he was feeling more than a touch of survivor’s guilt.

The three loud knocks on the door roused him from his despair. After wiping away a stray tear, he rose, looked through the peephole, and sighed.

The door opened to reveal the smiling face of Romeo, who was holding a bottle of wine, and the mellow and carefree boy wasn’t alone. There were two girls with Romeo, both were young and beautiful. After looking Cody over, the girl on the right sent him a huge grin.

“Xavier, say hello to Carla and Alicia.”

Before Cody could say anything, Romeo brushed past him while holding Carla’s hand. Alicia, the girl who had been on the right, was now standing alone in the doorway. Cody ushered her in with a sweep of his arm.

“I’m Xavier.”

“I’m Alicia.”

The girl was a blonde with huge green eyes. When she walked into the room as if floating on air, Cody intuited by her lissomness and grace that she was a dancer.

Romeo draped an arm over Cody’s shoulders and held up the bottle.

“We’re going to have a drink or two, get to know each other, then go out and light up the town. What do you say?”

Cody managed to break free of Alicia’s gaze. After turning his head, he whispered to Romeo.

“Didn’t Spenser tell you that I wanted to be alone?”

“Yeah,” Romeo whispered back, “But hey, bro, nobody wants to be alone, not really, and I’m just looking out for you.”

Cody sent him a small smile. “Bro?”

“Hell yeah, we’re like brothers, aren’t we? And Spenser, he’s like our old man.”

Cody’s smile widened. He looked back at Alicia, and the beauty sitting on his bed grinned again.

“Romeo, I owe you one, bro.”

“All right, now let’s get this party started.”
