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.

Since he was also wearing obviously old jeans and a faded T-shirt, Beau could see his point, although he didn’t like the idea of what he had planned. Still…“Okay. I’ll give you five minutes. If you’re not back by then, over there—” he pointed to an almost empty parking lot across the street, “—I’m coming looking for you.”

“Ten minutes,” Rick replied as Beau pulled to a stop at the corner.

Beau sighed, nodded, and when Rick was out of the car, drove into the lot.

Beau was right, Rick thought as he began to walk slowly down the alley. There didn’t seem to be anywhere for someone to conceal themselves to get a decent shot at Mercer when he got out of the car. The wall of Mercer’s building had no windows or doors, except his private one.

I guess so no one in the building across the alley can see inside,Rick decided.
