"Okay," I replied as I was grateful for her to put some distance between us

She hurried past me into the bathroom and locked the door behind her

"Sorry we scared her, Rev," Ghost said apologetically

"It’s okay I should’veby"

As the shower turned on, Ghost stared past ed as I reached for a clean shirt "Good as can be expected, I guess"

"I guess she knows to get the hell out of Texas, right?"

"Yes She knows" When I pulled my cut on over my shirt, Chulo whistled and shook his head "What?" I asked

"Don’t be wearing colors at the border That’ll get your shit flagged"

"Oh, okay" I didn’t knohy I hadn’t thought of that oing to have any proble out of the country?"

Chulo’s dark eyes narrowed "You doubting our paperwork ability?"

"Of course not But I’d be lying if I didn’t say your comment about the cut spooked irl Yet You have that in your favor"

"Thanks for the pep talk," I joked as I thu all the bases,for any confirmation on whether Mendoza is alive"

"I think everything should be fine Once you’re through the checkpoint, I would advise burning daylight and not stopping until you get halfway across Texas" He griot a senorita with you who’ll probably start bitchin’ to stop and take a leak or so"

I chuckled "I think we’ll h-ht," Chulo replied
