CHAPTER 12

A sleek, fluorescent yellow street bike rode into Hector’s driveway. The engine rumbled as the rider pulled up to the detached garage. When he lifted the visor, I saw Crash’s golden face.

He’d get too embarrassed if I mentioned it, but Crash could have modeled. His face was hard planes and chiseled angles. No ass to speak of, though, which was too bad, because the rest of his body was pumped.

“Visiting?” I wiped garden dirt from my hands. I got a whiff of the strident scent of tomato leaves from my hands.

He unbuckled the collar of his leather jacket. “Angelena said meet her here.”

The back door of Hector’s house slammed open. Deal picked her Ferragamo-shod way across the new brick patio. How did she get inside the house? She probably stormed through the front door when I didn’t answer the bell.

“Why can’t we ever do this on the West Side?” she snapped.

“Do what?” I asked. No one ever told me anything.

Angelena came out of the house with beers in hand. “Have a seat.” She towered over Deal as we stood on the patio. Deal wasn’t much taller than I was. More vicious, certainly, but not bigger.

Nanny took her usual seat at the end of the porch, but the Gods ignored her.

Crash took a beer and sank onto the porch. “What’s up?”

I hadn’t had them over for dinner in a while. I shot Angelena a worried glance.

She patted my shoulder. “Don’t worry, we’re covered.”

“Blue.” Deal hinted.

“Come on! Mercy! What is that? A couple hundred bucks a bottle?”

“Maker’s Mark is fine.”

As if she was settling. Ungrateful Goddess.

“Sam, any thoughts you have about me, I can hear,” Deal warned.

“I called you here for a reason.” Angelena then took a long sip of her beer so that she couldn’t explain.

Deal fumed. “Make it snappy, Traffic.”

Angelena smiled around the beer bottle at her mouth. She slowed down her intake just to make Deal steam. Deal tapped her iced pink fingernail on the crystal of her trendy watch.

“The strength of Sam’s faith puts more power behind his worship than a million other believers combined,” Angelena reminded Deal. “You didn’t agree to protect him out of the goodness of your heart. I don’t care about your power fetish, but I expect you to keep your word.”

“And that means…”

“Welcome to our new neighborhood.”

With a magician’s wave of her hand, Angelena made a new house muscle between the Hector’s house and the white clapboard house next door. Of all the Gods I knew, Angelena was the only one who had enough imagination to do flashy miracles.

Crash was pissed, I was pissed, and Deal-- Deal was livid. Vegetables and fruits withered on the vine in my garden as the shockwave of her indignation passed through the atmosphere. “Long Beach? You expect me to move to Long Beach?” Deal shouted at Angelena.

“All of us, yeah.” Angelena winked at me. “This is gonna get good.”

“Is this going to be like having a motorcycle gang next door?” I whispered.

Angelena took a long draft off her bottle.
