Rust On the Razor (2011)
“I didn’t want just a lawyer to protect me, I wanted an entire platoon of gay commandos in battle fatigues toting machine guns—guys who had been working out in every gym in the country, could bend steel with bare hands, with all the necessary accouterments for stud-rescuers.
Violet said, “Scottie, you want to stay here with your father. I’ll bet Tom’s hungry.”
Her saying it reminded me that I hadn’t eaten since some time in the middle of the night, and then only a stale candy bar from a machine ...in the hospital basement.
“I wanted to have my brothers protect Tom,” Scott said. “Nobody would bother you if they were escorting you around town.”

“If I ask them to.”
I hadn’t told him about the conversation I heard in the basement. I wasn’t eager to have the Carpenter boys as my protection. He looked for them, but they had disappeared, and no one knew when they would be back.
Violet touched Scott’s arm. “And if Tom comes to my place to eat, we can compare notes about you, Scottie.”MoreLess
