Chapter 54

Gary began to shake. He couldn’t let anything happen to Danny. “Should I have you and Danny move back to the other house?”

“As long as I stick to him like glue it shouldn’t matter. But I’d call ADT today and put a rush on it and get the full monty—motion sensors, perimeter alarms, the works. You are a famous person who came out of the closet in a machismo profession. Believe me, I know something about that. It can make you an object of senseless hatred. Look what my so-called father did to Danny.” Caden downed the rest of his drink.

“We are in complete agreement. I don’t want anything to happen to Danny as the result of this. I’ll make the call now. Then we can see what’s for supper.” Gary walked over to the phone.

Dinner was quiet but to Danny it didn’t look as if Caden and Gary had a falling out so he tried to mind his own business.
