• Sail Cat Road continues now. #
• Chapter 19 #
• The sky cleared into a blue like the paint on a Porsche. Gus and Jimmy were in an interstate gas station when Gus’ cell rang. #
• Jimmy payed the bill. Gus sat in the truck glaring through red-rimmed eyes. A tear dripped from his chin. His fists were squeezed white. #
• “What?” said Jimmy. He shut the door and looked into Gus' face. “Tears ain't your gig, son. You hurting again? Or worse?” #
• “They found Bren,” he said, words catching in his throat. He swallowed hard. “I shouldn't have come with you. I should've looked for her.” #
• “She dead?” said Jimmy. His voice was level like a man who had seen a life’s worth of death, and given his share. Gus said nothing. #
• Sail Cat Road will continue later. Thank you for following. #
