And he was way too damn cocky.
Ally and I were both staring at Rosie’s house and I was trying to pluck up the courage to drive to Evergreen, and maybe have a scary faceoff with Lee that I had to have thecojonesto win, when someone tapped on the back passenger window.
“Shit!” I jumped and shouted.
“Sorry. Didn’t mean to scare you.”
In Ally’s window was a nice-looking man. A wee bit steroid ridden and overdeveloped in the chest area, but he had a good haircut, shirt, tie and slacks.
“We’re a bit jumpy. We’ve had kind of a rough day,” Ally explained, smiling her flirty smile.
Conversely, although Ally could head bang with the best, she was a White Hat type of gal. She liked the good boys. She liked preppies and corporate types and definitely men in uniform. She understood a good guitar riff, but she liked her men clean cut, and ties and uniforms drove her wild.
“You lookin’ for Rosie?” the man asked.
I blinked.
Were we that obvious?
“Uh, yeah,” I replied.
He nodded. “I live over there.”
He pointed in the vague direction of “over there” and both Ally and I followed his finger, not sure precisely which house “over there” was his, then looked back to him.
“Is Rosie in trouble?” the guy asked.
“Does Rosie get in trouble, do you know?” I asked in return.
The guy shook his head. “Not that I know of. Quiet guy. Killer coffee.”
We all nodded.
“I’m Gary,” he said.
Ally extended her hand. “Ally,” she said and then she pointed to me. “And this is India.”
Upon hearing my name, he turned, looked over his shoulder and gave a nod.
Ally and I turned and looked over our shoulders too.
Too late.
Before I could react to the two men running toward our car, my door was wrenched open. I was dragged out and I let out a howl when the backs of my legs were ripped from the hot leather seats.
I stopped my howl midway with an “oof” because I hadn’t taken my seatbelt off, and when the guy yanked me out my belt jerked me back.
“Jesus, Teddy. Release the belt,” another man said.
I took this opportunity to scream.
Teddy dropped me. I hit the side of the seat and I used the steering wheel to pull myself back into it.
Ally had already been hauled out the other side. She wasn’t screaming and that scared the shit out of me.
I had no time to look for Ally as Teddy’s hands came around to undo the belt and I bent forward and bit his arm.
“Fuck!” He reared back and punched me in the cheekbone.
