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 42

So he knows I’m here. No big surprise, I suppose.

He walked boldly to the door, his gun held tightly in one hand. Rolling his shoulders in a vain attempt to ease his tension, he opened the door, stepping into the darkened interior. Knowing what would come next, he closed his eyes as Nash turned on a light. When he opened them, he saw Nash. The man gestured for Beau to come forward as he stepped aside to reveal Rick lying on the sofa behind him. Rick’s face and chest were covered with deep bruises. There was blood under his nose and at the corners of his mouth. He was pale, too pale, his eyes closed, one arm hanging limply off the side of the sofa.

“Before you get any bright ideas, I strongly suggest you drop your gun,” Nash said. He reinforced his order by putting the gun he held in his uninjured hand against Rick’s temple. The broken fingers on his other hand were now splinted, telling Beau he’d visited a doctor between leaving the airport and kidnapping Rick.
