Chapter XII

RINGING. A phone was ringing.

“Phone.”

Reese grunted and rolled over. “Yours.”

“Yeah?” Owen fumbled around on the nightstand until he found his phone and put it to his ear. “’Lo?” He sat up. “Hello?” He said again in a raspy voice. He looked at his phone.

A phone rang again.

“Nope. Not mine.” Owen groaned and dropped his phone on the floor.

“Fuck.” Reese stuck an arm out from under the covers and hauled his phone back underneath with him. What the fuck? Fucking morning was so fucking bright. “Yeah?” He was definitely hungover.

“Reese?”

Oh, crap. “Chad, I’m calling in dead.”

“That’s fine. You can be dead today, but tomorrow we’re going to Chicago, right?”

“Tomorrow.” Was there such a day? Did there have to be? What was Chicago?

“Yes, Reese. On a plane. You and me. Convention?”

Mother of God. “Yes, I remember,” he lied.

“Good. Then you also remember that a car will be picking you up at 6:30 a.m.?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Reese.”

“Yeah?”

“Wake up!” Chad’s shout pounded him like a hammer, and it drove a spike of white lightning into Reese’s forehead. Reese sat up abruptly.

“Oh God. Oh God, please don’t do that to me.” Reese was cringing like Chad had physically hit him.

“Reese. Are you sick?”

“No.”

“Hungover?”

“Yep. Yes. Mother of God, yes.” Absinthe. It had seemed like such a good idea when Owen opened the bottle.

“Shush.” Owen whined from under his pillow.

“Listen Reese, we have some business to discuss before tomorrow. Get some aspirin and a big glass of—”

“Oh God. Here. Talk to Owen.” Reese put the call on speaker and dropped the phone on the bed before he ran for the bathroom, just making it to the toilet before he vomited his guts out.
