Glen Saves the World

“To the police station. Grandma should be done with her probation officer appointment by now. His name is Damon Minke.”

“So Grandma has been driving this too?” I asked as Tristan took a corner on what I swore was two wheels. Not like I’d ever done that myself, of course.


“Sure! But it’s such a smooth drive now that I’ve fixed a few things. She taught me some tricks, um, well, and I had six weeks of auto mechanics in shop class at alternative school.” He was blushing; was he blushing?
