He fought the urge to wince as he heard the Challenger's tires scream as Des peeled out of the lot. He hoped the girl would take it easy....and not for the sake of the car, either. With his skill, he could get his hands on another. She, on the other hand, couldn't be replaced. He should have thought to remind her of her damn seatbelt, too.

The words his son spoke suprised him. He could tell the young man was fiercely protective of his mother, like any good son would be. That his bride had made a good life--on the good side of the law, even--gave him a some comfort. If he had stayed, it was likely she would have experienced the system from a completely different perspective...and their son would have grown up without either parent. No, how he'd handled things has not been right...bit he could see that his family had gone further without him than they ever could gone with him.

"Elden, I'm not here to hurt your ma. Or you. Guess. Subs some of that's unavoidable, considering the mess I made. But it sure as he'll ain't my intention." He watched as he pet the dog, admiring the bond they had. A good dog was worth twice what most people were, nowadays. Himself included. "Im real glad to hear she got herself a good gig, that she's happy. I ain't askin you to tell her I'm here for now....its probably best I get myself on my feet around here first anyhow." Though he didn't know just what that would be....he had a suspicion his boosting days were going to be behind him soon. He was gettin too old for that crap anymore. "Im stickin round here, but I sure don't expect her to take me back. My focus is you, El. Three months." He thought about putting the pink slip to.the challenger on the bet--the thing was actually legit--but doubted his son would appreciate the humor right now. "You got yourself a deal." He only hoped the kid didn't hate him so much that he wouldn't give him a chance to try to get to know him.
