JusticeI'm walking to Harper's, when I notice a truck pulling up alongside of me. For a moment I panic, but then I see the man behind the wheel. He's my first hero and the man who made all the monsters go away when I was a kid. Dad stops, rolling down the passenger side window. "Where are you going?" he asks, pushing his sunglasses up on his head."I was going to Harper's to get a lemonade. Where are you going?""To get some spare parts. Was wondering if you might want to ride with me."This is something we did a lot of when I was little. Even though I've always been closer to my mom, I was his sidekick in all the running around he did. I coulda given two shits about motorcycles, but I loved to go on parts runs with him. They typically ended up with ice cream, and a promise we wouldn't tell Mom about it. It's a split-second decision, and one I'll make the same every single time. Stepping off the curb, I go for the door, opening it quickly and scooting into the passenger seat.He does

JusticeAs I turn onto the Square and head toward Mom's office, I notice the bunch of police cars that were there the other day are back. And there appears to be even more than before. My pulse races as I do my best to drive through the maze of vehicles that seem to be anticipating some sort of cohesive movement any time now. Pulling my phone from where it sits in the side of my door, I scroll quickly to see if I can find any news about what's happening.No breaking news alerts have come through from our local TV station, so I turn on the radio, putting it to a local Bowling Green station and listen intently to see if they have some sort of idea.SAM 100.7 – We have breaking news this morning about a murder occurring in the fifteen hundred block of Adams and Clay Street in the early morning or late evening hours of yesterday. Authorities say Alec Tinsdale is wanted for questioning in the death investigation of Pearl Van Hampton. He is considered armed and dangerous. If you know where h

Justice"I swear to God, I will be fine. If we don't get these filed, we're in contempt," I remind my mom as I pack up the bag of shit I need to go file at the courthouse. Again their portal is down."Right now I'm willing to be in contempt, Justice. I think it's dangerous."I don't know what comes over me, but for the first time in my life, I explode. All the questions I've always had about why my parents and everyone else treat me and Harley differently comes rising to the surface and I can't push them back down. "Oh, screw you, would you be telling Harley you think it's dangerous?"She looks at me, her mouth agape. "No," I answer. "You'd send her on her way without even a 'Be careful'.""That's not true," she argues."Isn't it? Since the night of what happened with Travis, I've lived with all of you telling me to be careful all the time. Not to let myself get into a situation I can't get out of, and to take extra precautions. Recently, I started asking Harley if you said the same

Caelin"Goddammit, Rooster, I want in there, and I want in there now," I tell the older member of our club. It's probably not the best thing for me to be doing, demanding an elder to bow down to me, but Justice is in there with a fucking deranged psycho. He's killed once, and who's to say he won't kill again."Look, I respect your feelings about this. But they're not allowing anyone in, and I don't think it's smart to fuck with the Feds."Glancing over at Drew, my eyes do their best to convey a silent message of let's fuck shit up. Harley comes to stand beside me. Her scared voice is louder than the rest of them. "We gotta figure out how to go in there and save her.""Maybe she doesn't need to be saved," my mom says as she comes to stand with our group. "Justice is strong. She's got a good head on her shoulders and she's been through a lot already. Maybe, just maybe, she can save herself and doesn't need all of you to get in her way."I want badly to believe what my mom is saying, but

Caelin "So when we leave," I tell Will and Meri, "you two are going to have to let us know which puppies you're taking with you. The rest of them are going to be at the clubhouse, and you can't decide on one now and then after you see them at the clubhouse, decide to get another. This will be your final choice."They both look at me, extremely serious, nodding."So how are you going to do it?" Justice asks. "Play with them for a while? Pick on guy instinct?""How would you do it?" Meri asks her.Since everything that happened at the courthouse, Justice has become Meri's favorite person. She wants to be like her when she grows up, and she's been begging Addie to put her into Justice's class.I, overall, think it's a great idea, but I'm not sure I wanna see my niece hanging out where I came all over my thighs. Clearing my throat, I send a bemused grin over to Justice, who answers it with an inquisitive coming together of her eyebrows.Turning to Meri, she gives her her full attention an
