LCC 21We Can Be Heroes

21 We Can Be Heroes “What the fuck is going on!” Dom roared as he stormed into the garage; with Amber inside the diner, he was no longer concerned that she would hear him yell. “And don’t you dare feed me a line of bullshit, either one of you. None of this need-to-know crap. It’s [...]

LCC 20 All’s Well That Ends

20 All’s Well That Ends Knocked half off balance, the pan of frying chicken was still easily within Heather’s reach and, bracing her foot against the side of the counter for what she knew what was to come, she snapped it off the burner. Chicken fat sizzled as the meal that she had been preparing [...]

LCC 18: Someone To Watch Over Me

18. Someone To Watch Over Me It wasn’t a smoking room. Mike reached out and flicked ashes into a heavy diner cup that sat on the cheap pasteboard nightstand between the two beds. The inch or so of cold coffee sizzled briefly when he dropped another butt in. There were at least four of them [...]

LCC 17 In Time of Need

17. In Time of Need Fluorescent light filtered down through greased car parts. To a lot of people, lying on their backs underneath a car was one of the more unpleasant things to have to do but for Dom, there was no better place to be. Outside of a race track that was. He could [...]

LCC 16 Dirty Laundry

16. Dirty Laundry (same evening) Brian lay still against the cold desert scrub; it wasn’t comfortable but then again, it wasn’t supposed to be. Far below him, the night desert bloomed in a ghostly green glow, distorted through the scope of his night vision goggles.

LCC 15 Comfort From the Storm

15. Comfort From the Storm Amber rested her hips against the cold porcelain of the sink in the bathroom. Eyes closed, hands still cold from the water she had splashed against her face. She was tired, drained. Exhausted. Her bed called her from just down the hall; she had even moved the bat there, to [...]

LCC 14 When it rains, it pours.

14.When it rains, it pours. Amber stood on the porch for a while; she wasn’t sure how long. ‘Long enough to feel stupid doing it,’ she thought, smiling. She didn’t go anywhere in a hurry. Brian was already gone. Dom and Eddie had gone back into the garage to join Jim. Tools dropped, a sharp [...]

LCC 13 Time to Talk

13.Time to Talk Sheriff Hollabird hummed a little, thumbs jammed into well-worn belt loops, working the minted toothpick absently from one side of his mouth to the other. Bad pennies kept turning up, and he had no doubt that the crunch of gravel outside was more of the same.

LCC 12 Doing The Best I Can

12. Doing The Best I Can If life was like the movies, Mike would have driven by Amber’s house when the shit hit the fan. He would have gotten to Amber before the assault, he would have taken the heat off Dom by being the one to kick Alan’s ass in the dirt driveway. He [...]
