I looked away from them as I answered, “I’d rather not say, but I’ve got a plan.”
“Are you going alone?” Bertha asked.
I shook my head, “Nah, someone’s coming with me.”
“Really? Who?” she asked.
“Remember me telling you about my friend Meek?”
“Oh yeah, that surfing guy from the water park.” Bertha answered.
“Who’s Meek?” Larry asked.
Larry hadn’t yet heard about Meek or Meek’s boyfriend Pepper, because until yesterday Larry has not been anywhere around. After the death of his father, Larry and his twin brother Chris had been shipped off to stay with relatives. Chris, who I consider my best friend didn’t return when Larry did and the only reason Larry is back is because he has to go to court in a few days.
