his little gophers to his house for a beer. Let’s try the warehouse first.”
    On the way there Troy asked her, “Is he still on probation?”
    “No, he got off right after my mom died. The little shit is going to screw this all up and then I’m going to have to kill him.”
    “You think your dad will be able to handle him?”
    “Hell if I know,” she said, disgustedly. “I don’t even know my own old man, so I couldn’t tell you what kind of guardian he’s going to be to Aaron.”
    “It’s nice of him to take him in with him not being his son and all though.”
    “Yeah,” Sam’s tone softened. “Yeah, it’s really nice of him. If my brother hasn’t done something irreversible this time, hopefully he’ll finally have a decent male role model in his life.”
    As they approached the warehouse Troy said, “Maybe we shouldn’t both go up to the door. You wait in the car…”
    “Oh shut up. You know I’m not going to wait in the car while you take care of my business.”
    “These guys aren’t people to piss off or fuck with, Sam. I know you can handle your own, but these guys fight dirty.”
    “I’ll keep my cool,” she told him. “I’m just a sister here looking for her brother. If they give me any shit I’ll wait for your back-up before I go psycho on them, okay?”
    Troy laughed. “Oh yeah, that makes me feel better.” He drove all the way around the big building and then parked the car where he could see the only door. “Be careful, Sam.”
    She nodded and got out of the car. She jogged up to the door and tried the knob. It was locked. She knocked on it and waited. After several long minutes passed a kid about Aaron’s age with long, greasy black hair pulled open the door. He looked Sam over, pausing on her chest for an inappropriately long time. She wanted to kick him in the nuts…if he had any. “I’m looking for Aaron Stern. I’m his sister.” Once again she was subjected to his watery brown eyes taking in her every curve. She fought back a shiver.
    “Aaron’s not here.”
    “Do you know where he is?” The kid shrugged. He was getting closer to getting kicked in the balls by the minute. “Have you seen him recently?”
    He shrugged again and her leg actually twitched with need. “Couple of days ago, maybe.”
    “So he wasn’t here last night at all?”
    “Nah, not that I know of.”
    “Is Pinky here?” The kid looked at her then like she was Dorothy asking to see the Wizard.
    “Nah, he’s not here.”
    “Where is he?”
    “Dunno.” Sam forgot her promise to Troy to call for back-up before she went psycho. She grabbed the greasy little shit in front of her by the shirt and pushed him back through the open door. She heard the unmistakable clicks of magazines being shoved into guns as soon as she did. Without even looking around, she let go of the greasy young man’s shirt and held up her hands.
    “I’m just looking for my brother,” she said, loudly.
    A guy with what looked like prison tats all over his face stepped up next to Samantha. He was holding a big gun in one hand and a cigarette in the other. “Who’s your brother?”
    “Aaron Stern,” she said.
    The big guy smiled. Sam thought it gave his face an even creepier quality. “That little shit has a hot sister like you? I never would have guessed it. Are you sure your Mama wasn’t…”
    “Don’t go there,” Sam said. The big guy threw his head back and laughed.
    “You’ve got more balls than he does too. He’s in the back.” The guy hand motioned at the other four holding guns on her and they all lowered them. Sam slowly put her hands down but she didn’t move. “Go ahead and get the little fucker, if you can wake him up.”
    Samantha was going to wake him up alright and then she was going to kick his ass all the way home. She went in the direction the big guy had waved her and through another door into a small room that looked like a supply closet. It smelled like shit and skunk and body odor.
