“And if you’re dead in two months?”
He didn’t say anything, just stormed over to the back door and flung it open.
I shook my head, not wanting to leave him behind. “I’ll take the bodies. You couldn’t get rid of them right now if you wanted.”
“I can handle it,” he argued.
“Yeah?” I got right in his face, laying down a challenge. “And how are you gonna handle it when you’ve got a fucking needle sticking out of your arm?”
He swallowed hard, telling me everything I needed to know. “FNG, grab a body.”
He walked in and looked at the lumps on the floor. “Oh, so we’re taking them with? Cool.”
“We’ll dump them on the way out of town.”
I bent over and hauled one over my shoulder. I just had to pray we didn’t get caught as we walked across the street to the car.

Evidence wasall over the bodies. I couldn’t let any of it lead back to me or Jack. So, I drove out of town and lit their asses on fire. Someone would find them eventually, either because of the wild animals or from the flames. Either way, no one would link these men to us.
“Man, this is just like the good ol’ days,” FNG said beside me.
“How do you figure?”
“You know, me and you in the same car,” he laughed.
“That happened once.”
“Nah, it had to have happened more than that.”
“It didn’t,” I replied, just wanting him to shut up.
Lights flashed in my rearview mirror as a car approached from behind. It was too fucking late at night for someone to be out driving. Not that it couldn’t happen, but it couldn’t be a coincidence that someone was hauling ass to catch up to me. For just a moment I considered the possibility that it was Jack, but he was too fucked up to follow me out here.
“We’ve got company.”
FNG spun in his seat, then clapped his hands together as he laughed. “Man, I knew it. Okay, so what’s the plan? Are you going out the window again? Or do you want me to this time? I can show you my trick with the umbrella.”
He grabbed it from between his legs and started to open it.
“What the fuck are you doing?” I shouted, slapping at the damn thing as it expanded too wide and nearly hit me in the face.
“Sorry!” He fumbled with it some more, almost closing it before his hand slipped and it popped open again. “Oops!”
“Put the fucking thing away!”
I rolled down my window and grabbed it out of his hands, tossing it out onto the road. FNG stared at me in shock.
“I can’t believe you just did that!”
“I can’t believe you tried to open a fucking umbrella in a car!”
“It’s an SUV, thank you very much! And if you would just give me a chance to show you what I wanted, we could take them out in a matter of a few minutes.”
The vehicle behind me pulled to my side, speeding up until he was nearly beside me. I didn’t wait to find out what he wanted. I jerked the steering wheel, slamming my car into the one beside me, but I didn’t back off. My eyes met those of the man driving the other vehicle. He didn’t intend to leave us alive. I slammed my foot on the gas and pushed him to the side until he hit the edge of the road and lost control. I spun the wheel, my tires squealing as I hit the brakes and tried not to go into the ditch myself. We slammed to a stop against a guardrail, narrowly avoiding rolling over.
I looked out the front windshield, as we were now facing the other vehicle, or where he should have been. I shoved the door open and got out, pulling my spare gun. It was unregistered, exactly the weapon I needed on hand for an occasion such as this. I stalked through the darkness with only my headlights illuminating my path.
