Yellow Flag (2009)
“Kris was poking at a racing video game, squinting at the screen like he was having trouble focusing. Without looking up, he said, “Uncle Kale beat up on you?”
“How’d you know?”
“Suck it up. He wouldn’t bother if he didn’t think…” His voice trailed off. Kyle couldn’t tell if he had lost the thought or decided to flush it.
“How you feeling?”
“I’m going crazy.” His face was pale and puffy.
“Only been a week.”
“Nine friggin’ days.”
“Takes time.”
“Doctors don’t know squat, and you sure don’t.” He tu...rned back to his game and slumped in his chair.
“So how you know Jimmie?”
“Who?” On-screen, Kris was crashing.
“Jimmie. Red Hoyt’s granddaughter. The redhead?”
“She showed up with Grandpa. She’s yours. She goes with the car.” There was no energy in his voice.
Dad called them down.
They barely talked through dinner. The Speed Channel was on in the living room, just loud enough to hear familiar names and phrases. Richard Childress’s Busch team was bringing up a young driver from the AutoZone West series.MoreLess
