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.

“You have been busy,” Rick said. He looked at the door to the apartment and frowned. “There’s no box.”

“Yeah, there is. In here.” Beau opened the closet door next to the front door to show him. “It’s got a thirty second delay, which gives you time to get to it, or out. It’s a trick I learned so, if someone does break in, they’ll either think we don’t have a system, or lose enough time trying to find the box that it’ll be too late.”

“So, what’s the code?”

Beau gave it to him, then set the alarm before they went in to make dinner. 10

For the next couple of weeks, Beau and Rick only saw each other intermittently. Rick would leave to catch his bus for work right after breakfast. When he got home, they had a couple of hours together before Beau had to get to the club. By the time he got back, Rick was asleep and had been for a while. They didn’t even have much time on the weekends, what with Beau working Friday and Saturday nights while Rick was on during the days Saturday and Sunday.
