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 19

“Damn,” Beau said, “you’re skinnier than I figured.” But not bad, muscle-wise, despite that. Something he wouldn’t say aloud since it might give Rick the wrong idea.

“You keep feeding me real food and it’ll change,” Rick replied. He eyed Beau, who had undressed down to his jeans. “Though I’ll never look like you.”

Beau grinned. “You must have your mother’s genes.”

It took Rick a second to realize Beau was teasing, since he’d registered them as father and son. Not that the lady believed him for even a minute. “That’s what you get for hooking up with her,” he retorted, laughing. “You’re turn in the shower. I even left you some hot water.”

“This is a motel. If they ran out, I’d ask for our money back.”

Beau went into the bathroom, unaware, Rick hoped, that he was eyeing him with something more than a ‘son’s’ interest. Rick dressed quickly in fresh jeans and a T-shirt, wrapping his dirty clothes into a bundle before putting them in his backpack.
