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 38

The first address took him to the west side of the city, to a street comprised primarily of small homes, anchored at one end by apartment buildings. The address he needed was a weather-beaten white, clapboard house in the middle of the block. The yard was small, and the grass needed cutting

Not quite what I expected, but then he’s probably only renting until he makes inroads into the Whalen’s territory. Either he doesn’t know who he’s going up against, or he thinks he’s enough of a big shot that he can beat Whalen at his own game.

Beau continued down the street to the corner, took a right, and then another one down the alley behind the house. The back yard of the house was marginally larger than the front one, with a garage taking up half of it, facing the alley. As he drove by, Beau saw movement behind one of the upstairs blinds then someone lifted a slat to peer out. Not that Beau cared. Whoever it was wouldn’t be able to see that it was him driving.
