Digger

Maci stayed the weekend, but Monday morning when I went into Hawk’s shop, she headed back to her apartment. The second she disappeared from my sight, my stomach twisted. Felt like a part of me had been ripped off without morphine to lessen the pain. How the fuck had I gotten so damn wrapped up in her in so short of a time?

The fuck was wrong with me?

I had opened up to Maci more than anyone in my life—brothers included. Never talked so much in my damn life. Same as with fucking, I couldn’t get enough of learning about her. What made her tick, what turned her mind on. She in turn pulled stories out of me, one after the other, until I found myself confessing nearly every sin I’d committed.

Including how I got my nickname. I didn’t name Nicky, but he was the brother I spoke of when telling her about the night I dug the first grave for someone who thought to cross the Gliders. Turns out, I was so damn good at the grunt job that I tagged along with Nicky whenever he got the go ahead to off someone, digging graves whenever needed. And none of the shallow shit ones, either, that a dog or coyote would unearth. We made sure no one would run across bones. Ever.

“’Sup?” Hawk called out as I arrived at the shop, two Dunks coffees in hand.

“Same shit, different day,” I said, going with my usual. “Fuckers still trailing me.”

Hawk’s brow rose, and he moved to the garage window, flicked the toothpick from between his lips, and snagged his coffee from me on the way. “Same fuckers as before—driver’s a blond, passenger a redhead.” He swigged, and I strode over to peer their way.

I narrowed my gaze, but couldn’t make out any features, only the mop of red hair and the hint of blond on the other. Both sported beards. “Far from clean-cut. Definitely not the FBI.”

“Wouldn’t think so, no.”

We studied them for a few more minutes while I wracked my brain. “Who the fuck do you think it is?”

Hawk didn’t answer long enough that I glanced over at him. He chewed on his lower lip.

“What?” I asked.

“Janie talked to her dad a couple weeks ago. Just caught up a bit, let him know how she was doing. I listened to their whole conversation—at her insistence.”

Janie’s dad, the president of our rivals, the Silent Demons. My brow furrowed. “If he wanted to keep an eye on her, he’d be on your place, not following me around.”

Hawk heaved a heavy breath. “Who the fuck knows. What’s Jonny have to say?”

“He thinks it’s the FBI.”

“Any news on the whole inside snitch front?”

“Nothing new. We’ll see what happens with next week’s shipment, though. He’s got two cars headed north, one rumored to carry the goods, one actually carrying the goods.”

We moved away from the window, but my mind refused to leave the sedan thing alone. Twice before noon, I texted Maci to check on her.
