Colt raised an eyebrow. ‘You know about that, huh? How long have you been following me, anyway?’
‘Since Hector helped you and your kids escape from that underground mansion.’
‘I see.’
The reaper tilted his shadowed face at him. ‘You don’t strike me as the type of person who wants to improve society. No offense.’
‘I am not a good man,’ said Colt. ‘A good man would regret a lot of the things I’ve done, I think. But I’ve known good people. Or at least, people who deserved a lot better than what they got. And I figured that I could do things that good people can’t.’
‘Things, huh? Care to elaborate?’ said Bohwanox.
‘No.’
‘We are going to be spending a lot of time together. It would be best if we learned to get along.’
‘I think we’ll get along just fine without knowing every little thing about each other.’
‘You’re not curious about me, then?’
‘Tell me whatever you want. I’m not stopping you.’
‘Hmm. So you’d prefer a business-like relationship.’
‘Hell yes.’
Bohwanox paused. ‘I’m okay with that. As long as you don’t disobey me.’
‘Fine.’ Colt stopped, looked around the open street, and then eyed Bohwanox another time. ‘Look, I know you’re against it, but I really need to steal a car if I wanna make it all the way back to Brighton by morning. How about if I steal it from someone who deserves it?’
‘I suppose that would be okay. But can you actually find someone like that?’
An hour later, he had a car. Annoyingly, Bohwanox made him drive the drunken idiot home first.
Next, Colt found a pay phone.
‘Calling Hector?’
‘Yeah. I memorized his number in case of emergencies.’
‘Quite prepared, aren’t you?’
‘Not enough, obviously.’ He listened to it ring.
A few beats passed. ‘He’s not picking up,’ said Bohwanox.

Rogue of Comments up in here
DeleteHey George
ReplyDeleteYou're moving up in the world
It costs SIX WHOLE CENTS to put an ad here.
I think the most I've had for a single ad is 20 cents, so far. I've seen it occasionally spike as high as 50 cents, but it's never stayed there for an entire day (which is how long it'd take to receive all 50 cents).
DeleteI'm liking Bohwanox more and more. He is the perfect counter to Colt's gun-ho screw the rules attitude. XD
ReplyDeleteI am really liking this. I shall allow you to carry on.
Do not disappoint me.
Now I feel like disappointing you. PREPARE TO BE DISAPPOINTED.
DeleteIt would BE best if...
ReplyDeleteYou are a wizard, anon. It's the only explanation as to how you spotted that.
DeleteFixed and thank you.
Haha only an hour later
ReplyDeleteAND driving the drunk home, hehehe
Hmm you've done something different with the comment box? Well as long as name URL still works eventually!
<3
DeleteThe comment box wasn't my doing. Blogger just changed things, I guess. And I do think it looks a little better, actually.
I laughed so damn hard when Colt found that drunk driver, but Boh made him drive the guy home.
ReplyDeleteAnd fuck...why isn't Hector picking up?!
Jeez... I think Disqus took the day off for math. Today is the 18th of September, 2014. This page was posted the 28th of September, 2013. All the comments are over a year old.
