Chapter Seven

Drake Avery

It had taken Drake two days to find the perfect opening. He knew Mason would often pick up Billy after school and drive him to his sister’s diner to do his homework. Then she would drive him back home at night. This just required a little bit of planning. Step one was arranging it so his lieutenant had to stay late at work, which he had done.

“Mason, bummer about you having to redo the training manual. I don’t know how it could have gotten corrupted.” Mason looked up from the computer and gave Drake a hard look.

“Yeah, pretty weird.”

“Good news is I can go pick up Billy from school and drop him off with Sophia.” Mason’s frown cleared.

“Thanks, I was worried about that.”

“Not a problem. What are friends for?” Drake whistled to himself as he left the annex building.

Drake parked his truck across the street from the school, got out, and waited. He watched as Billy exited the school. Billy was with a girl, and he scanned the area. Drake liked the way the kid was aware of his surroundings. The girl was looking around like she was expecting a ride. Billy handed her his cell phone, and he could see how she reluctantly took it but finally made a call. It was obvious she got voicemail. She straightened her shoulders, gave Billy a fake smile, and started to walk away. Billy easily caught up and started to walk backwards in front of her, trying to convince her of something. Probably trying to get her to take a ride home. It looked like it was time for Uncle Drake to step in. He meandered over to the pair.

“Hey Billy.” Billy looked over, unsurprised to see him.

“Hey Drake, this is Rebecca. Rebecca, this is my friend Drake, he works with my brother.” Rebecca’s eyes got wide as she took in the width and breadth of him.

“You’re a soldier like Mason?” she asked quietly.

“A SEAL.” He held out his hand, and she placed her hand in his. He shook it gently. He saw Billy’s look of approval, and it made him feel good.

My how times were ‘a changing’.

“Do you need a ride, Rebecca? I have my truck right over there. I was going to take Billy to his sister’s for a piece of pie, and so he could start on his homework. Of course the pie is the most important part of the scenario.”

She gave a soft laugh. It was a pretty sound.

“It’s okay, I can walk home.”

“Rebecca, it’s five miles,” Billy protested.

“It’s not the first time.”

“I know, but it’s the first time I know about it ahead of time and can do something about it. Let Drake drive you. He’s trustworthy, I promise.”

Rebecca gave a quick look down to her shoes, if he hadn’t been concentrating on her so hard, Drake might have missed it. They didn’t fit right. They were too small. Dammit, they’d hurt walking all that way.

“Rebecca, I can’t have you walking all that way alone on my watch.
