Joe and you can’t get it. And why the fuck are you bringing this up now? Don’t you have something else to do, maybe hit the rack?”
“I just want to know what to do!” He slapped the table with his big palm and I flinched. Zach’s ice blue eyes were bloodshot and the bags under his eyes were dark and pronounced. He needed some serious downtime.
“You need to get some sleep, Zach, that’s what you need to do.”
“No, I need to find Lex, now .”
“We can’t look now, and if you don’t get your head on right, we’re not going to make any headway,” I shot back.
“You don’t even give a shit if we find her or not.”
“That’s bullshit and you know it, Zach.”
“I don’t know that, Blake, you’ve only shown an interest in fucking her.” That was the last straw. I knew Zach was all fucked up over losing Lex, but he was barking up the wrong tree.
I stood up fast, knocking the chair I was sitting in over. It caused a loud banging sound that had everyone looking up and over at us.
“I love her just like you do. I want to find her just as much as you do,” I hissed.
“Bullshit. You only think you love her. You came back and found her with me and suddenly you can’t have her. You wouldn’t have left if you really loved her.”
“Fuck you, Zach.”
“And you brought that goddamn bitch with you and ruined everything…just like everything else in your fucking life,” he kept going on.
I knew it was wrong. I knew Zach was out of his head. Everything happened in slow motion. I saw red and the buzzing of my anger was a palpable presence in my gut. I reached out and grabbed him by the shirt and jumped over the table on top of him.
He blocked my first punch, but I got a good one in for the second shot. But my satisfaction at landing one was short lived as he got momentum and flipped me off of him. I landed hard on my back with an oomph and then he was on top of me. One hit had stars exploding across my vision, but I kicked up and delighted in hearing his groan when my knee connected with soft flesh.
Too soon Romeo and Martinez were on us, dragging us apart.
Expending that much energy felt so good, the adrenaline was pumping through my veins again. I was doing something. I felt back on my game and I wanted to tear someone’s head off. From the look Zach was giving me, he felt the same way.
I couldn’t help myself. We were such goddamn idiots that I started to laugh.
“You’re a fucking idiot,” he called.
“That’s why you keep me around,” I panted and he started laughing with me.
Just like that, Zach and I were alright again.

“Get her in the car, Clem,” the old woman spat. I couldn’t tell who was in the room I had been pushed into or where I was. It was disconcerting. I needed to orient myself, but there was no way to get my bearings with this stupid bag over my head.
I heard footsteps move toward me and a shadow fell across my face. I could see faint shapes through the light material. The shape reached for me and I was flung off my feet and thrown over the big man’s shoulder. His hand planted firmly on the back of my thigh. He let out a nasty little chuckle as he groped me.
Who knew Deliverance was a documentary?
“Ma, you didn’t put no undies on this one,” he gurgled.
“No need for them, get her in the car, don’t you touch her,” she scolded.
His lumbering steps shook me as he strode through the house and then out the door, slamming my head accidentally into the door frame.
“Whoops,” he laughed. I was going to kill him. It might not be at this time, but I would kill him.
He slipped once on the steep stairs that led to the ground and I had a sickening feeling we would crash down the stairs and I’d get my neck broken because his fat ass would fall on top of me. But he regained his footing and the cloth over my head worked
