Chapter 32

Soon, Davie and Vin were sitting in Slade’s car, after brushing as much of the dried dirt off as they could, despite Slade telling them not to worry about it.

They knew, because Slade had told them, that Ken was already in one of the hospital rooms, recovering from the beating he’d sustained from Butch. “We were tracking you, of course,” Slade explained. “When we saw you were moving fast but not like you were in a vehicle, we alerted the police to tell them you were undoubtedly in trouble and it was time to close in on the truck.”

“Big trouble,” Vin muttered. “That’s some tracking device.”

“Only the best,” Slade replied with a brief smile. “We like to keep our people safe.”

That piqued Davie’s interest, but he decided now was not the time to ask. Instead, he rested his arms on the back of the front seat, looking at Vin as he said, “I take it that man was one of your father’s people.”
