Chapter 106

“Turn about,” Gene whispered. “You tried to calm me down. Now it’s my turn.”

“That’s all you remember?” Mike asked.

“What do you want? That I took pictures with my phone while it was happening?” Van replied angrily.

“Easy,” Sage said. “He has to ask.”

“I take it he’s pissed off,” Mike said. “Sorry, but Sage is right. I have to ask. You didn’t see the person’s face?”

“No.” Van shook his head. “I’m the one who should apologize. I know you’re just doing your job.”

“I am,” Mike replied when Sage told him what Van had said.

“If he slammed to a stop, to shoot, did the car leave any skid marks?” Brody asked, smiling slightly when Sage relayed his question. “Maybe we should be using our phones to text him? It would save the feeling we’re in an echo chamber, Sage.”

Sage chuckled. “I’m not sure it would work, Brody, since Van and Gene can’t hold anything, yet.”

“Yeah. Good point.”
