Chapter 22

Both cars slowed to a stop on the unpaved road, gravel popping beneath their tires. Bryan exited the car and walked back towards Morgan and Mick. Mick rolled down his window.

“Is this it?” Mick asked, making no attempt to hide the uncertainty in his voice.

Bryan looked back towards the isolated locale. It might have been a battered storage facility with the odd window here and there for all its flair. And as Stacey had mentioned, advertising was nonexistent; even a sign out front announcing itself was absent. Very few cars and trucks were parked in the gravel lot, yet this had little to do with the fact that it was early in the day, but more to do with the fact that the bar was so close to the river. Many came by boat—precisely what Stacey had been counting on when she’d decided seeking a boat at Sam’s would be in bad taste.

Bryan turned back to Mick. “That’s what Stacey says.”

Morgan leaned over into Mick’s lap for a better look out his window. “Charming place,” she said.

Bryan shrugged. “Stacey thinks it could be a gold mine.” Then, though he wasn’t quite sure how to address such a thing, he asked Mick: “Morgan said you had a gun?”

Mick considered Bryan for a moment. “That’s right.”

“Did you, uh…did you bring it?”

“Yes.”

“Are you gonna wear it in the bar?”

“Don’t you think that would draw just a little bit of unwanted attention our way?” Morgan asked, still leaning across Mick’s lap.

“He could wear a jacket over it or something.”

“It’s a hundred degrees out, dude,” Mick said. “The air’s like soup. And I’m gonna take a wild guess that the place isn’t air-conditioned. I’m not wearing a jacket.”

“What if we find someone with a boat who’s willing to take us where we want to go? Are you just gonna leave the gun in your car?”

“If we go on a boat, I’ll come back to the car and get it. That cool?”

“I guess.”

“If Stacey was here, she’d say you were too deep in your head again,” Morgan said. “That you’re worrying too much.”

“Very true,” Bryan said. “Don’t tell her.”

Both Morgan and Mick smiled.

“Long as we stick together, we’ll be fine, brother,” Mick said.

Bryan nodded and smiled back.

“All right then,” Mick said. “Wanna go and park so we can head on in?”

“Sure. Leigh challenged me to a round of shots.”

Morgan sat back in her seat and cheered. “Wooh! Shots!”

“Ahhh…shit,” Mick muttered.
