“He does.” Maddox nods. “And then what? Are you still going toleave town for a few weeks?”
“If Tucker is taken care of, there won’t be a reason for me to leave.”
“What about her?” He points at the cab of the truck.
“I’ll send her back home.”
“Just like that?”
“Just like that,” I repeat.
Maddox studies me for a few moments before continuing, “Come stay at my house. Mojo and your girl will be safe there. We’ll take care of Tucker. Just you and me, like old times.”
“I don’t know.” I look down at the ground. “Penny doesn’t like you.”
“Most people don’t like me.” Maddox chuckles.
“That’s fair.”
“Come on. You have my word. She’ll be safe at my place.”
“Fine. We’ll stay with you.” I nod. Penny might not trust him, but I do. He gave me his word, and he’s never broken it before; he better not now.
