“What if that guy injures your eht?”

Dex growled and flicked the blinker on, taking a turn way too fast “Then next time, I’ll kill him”

The deathly calm tone of his voice left no doubt he meant it

“You’re a brave kid,” he said after a few more miles “Honorable too”

“How so?”

“Well,” he drawled, “you could’ve taken the car keys and driven off Sold it for parts”

“I couldn’t do that to Juliet You're her family”

He roared with laughter “But if I was a stranger?”

“I wouldn’t have gotten in your car in the first place Stranger danger”

He s?”

“All right”

“Ulfric treat you fairly?”

It seemed like an odd question Weren’t he and Ulfric friends? Why wouldn’t he treat me fairly?

“He runs a different motorcycle club, but the clubs are friendly to each other,” Dex said as if he’d read my mind

That didn’t exactly clear things up “What does that mean?”

“You really don’t know anything about MCs? Figured you woulda run into at least one or two MC brats in the system A kid with a father in a club”

“Yeah, I get that” He dru wheel “I can’t speak for every MC, but mine’s a brotherhood I’d die for any one of them and they’d do the same for me”

“So why’re you hiding tonight’s adventures from your brothers, then?”

“I’ain “My president’s more than okay hat just went down He would’ve done it himself, but he had other business to attend to”

“Busy beating up the neighborhood drug dealer?”

“Not tonight”

There wasn’t a lot iven me plenty to think about
