Chapter 50

As I fall into the routines of the Lippert house I’m surprised to find that I’m quickly bored by them. Life at my home with David and Janeen was also boring- but they’re just normal people. A little of me, I think, expected everyday gang life to be more exciting.

It’s not that the house is empty, really. Every day starts with a flurry

of activity. Breakfast in the kitchen is a big affair, with everyone rushing through. Kent’s top guys – mostly older gentlemen – drink their tiny glasses of espresso at a table in the corner, bantering.

Lower–level guys, dressed in thousand–dollar sweatsuits, run briskly through, reporting and getting new orders.

Guards are all around – watching everything, but mostly wishing, I think, that they were important enough to be included with the others. If they work hard enough, though, they can level up.

semester. I’ve been expressly forbidden to go out with him, to

school or anywhere else. Apparently, I’m still a kidnapping target.
