Chapter Two

Rod came out to the bar one night on his own. Max strolled up to the bar with a draft for him. “Hey, flying solo tonight?” Rod grinned, “Shhhh…..I wasn’t here.” Max laughed. “Needed a break did you?” Rod laughed and the guys bantered back and forth for a while. Max got him another draft and the detective in Rod came out. “So where are you from?” Max told him then told him he was a corrections officer at the prison Mike had been at. “Interesting. So is that how you met Mike?” Max being defensive, “Yeah, and he’s a hell of a guy. Never had any trouble with him and he never should have served the time he did. You’re not here to hassle him are you?”

Rod held his hands up, “Dude, relax. I’m curious is all. Miranda says you’re at the gym all the time. She was curious about you asking me all kinds of questions. I don’t know the woman is crazy sometimes. I love her to pieces but, damn women gotta know everything.” Max laughed. “At least she cares, and pays attention.”

Rod’s eyebrow shot up. “Elaborate.”

Max shook his head. “Nope, not going there. So are there any facilities near Wellsprings that offer boxing?” Rod sat up, “You box?” Max grinned, “I used to back in Maine. Loved it, found it as a good release. Kept me in shape.” Rod grinned. “Ok, if you promise not to crush me, we can box at the gym at the police station. There is nowhere in town. I have a bag and stuff in the police gym. I love going at it but can’t find a sparring partner. Last one I had I kind of, well let’s just say, they didn’t move fast enough.” Max chuckled. “You’re on my man. Name when and I’ll find the time.”

Max took his empty beer and with a wave Rod was off to head home to his woman. They were an odd couple, but you could tell very much in love. Miranda was flirty, and opinionated, shall we say. Rod was more on the quiet side. He worked undercover years back but now just worked on the force after they busted open a drug ring and cleared out the department of dirty cops. He had been shot from what the rumor mill stated around town, and he was placed on desk work until recently. Word around town was he had a temper but it very rarely reared its head. However, there were a few incidents on which no one had elaborated in his presence. Max was glad for the chance to start sparring again. Rod told him he could come before his self-defense training class tomorrow. Things were still slow at the bar, so Max knew Mike would be good with it.

Max got up the next morning and went to the gym to warm up for meeting Rod later that day. He was at the gym by 5a.m. You would think a guy who worked in a bar could sleep beyond 5a.
