There You Stand
“I felt driven to try to understand the kind of danger Jude might be in. And call me stupid—protect him if I could.
The place was quiet tonight, save for some regulars I had gotten used to seeing over the past few months. When it was slow like this, Vaughn had more time to talk at the bar and he liked to tell stories about his crazy childhood and his adventures on some old dirt bike on the back roads in his rural town. He was animated and held a captive audience and I realized how much I’d g...rown to like him.
Outside of his tough look, shaggy hair, and leather vest, you’d never know that he was hard-core involved in shit with the Disciples of the Road. He could’ve been any bartender at any establishment in the Midwest.
But after a while my nerves got the best of me, so instead of calling attention to how badly I’d shredded the napkin in front of me, I stood up to find something else to do with my hands. I was about to rack up my balls to play a solo game of pool, when I realized I had left my bottle of half-finished beer over by Vaughn.MoreLess
