The Runaway and the Enforcer

Beau, thirty-five, is a gangland enforcer who has gone into hiding rather than following the orders of his boss, Mercer, to harm a rival's kid. Now, all Beau wants to do is eliminate Mercer before getting out of town. When Rick, an eighteen-year-old denizen of the streets, witnesses Beau killing one of Mercer's men who has found him, Beau takes Rick under his wing instead of killing him, as well. He offers Rick a place to stay while he figures out how to put his plan to take Mercer out into action -- without ending up dead himself. Befriending Rick is an act Beau may come to regret. Rick convinces Beau to take him along when he leaves town -- thus working his way into Beau's dangerous life on the run -- and perhaps, into his heart, if Beau can come to grips with the fact that Rick is half his age. Note: This story contains scenes of graphic violence.

Chapter 11

“None of it. You need help, I’m offering. Deal.”

“Not happening.” Beau shut down the laptop, after giving Rick a glare of exasperation.

“Dinner time,” Rick said, bouncing to his feet. “Let’s see what you’ve got to work with.”

Amused, and glad to get off the subject of Mercer for the moment, at least, Beau followed him

“I take it cooking is not one of your primary skills,” Rick said after checking what was in the fridge. “At least you have hamburger. Any canned goods?” He answered his own question by checking the cupboards. “Damned little, but this will work. And a can opener?”

Beau pointed to one of the drawers, then began making coffee, wondering what Rick planned to do with hamburger, canned corn, and diced tomatoes with green chilies.

“There better be a frying pan,” Rick muttered.

Beau opened the drawer under the stove to hand him the pan. “This is it, so don’t get your hopes up. I didn’t buy the whole set.”
