He wasn’t even there. The room door stood wide-open. Panic returned.

DJ STOOD OUTSIDE the motel room, leaning on the wooden post that pretended to hold up the narrow overhang. He’d left the door open between them, partially to keep an eye on her, but also so she could find him.
The worn Western motif of the place hadn’t been what had first brought him here. He’d been looking for someplace out of the way, somewhere no one would think to look for him. Tonight it was a place Tammie could sleep and feel safe.
Someplace he felt he could protect.
No one asked questions here. And if they did...there weren’t any answers.
The main door and the large picture window overlooking the walk where he stood was the only way in. And the back of the room bumped against the rooms on the other side. No one would sneak up on him.
His bike was parked directly in front of their room. If someone did find them, the thundering v-twins could get them out of here in record time. Tammie only had her backpack and he had the duffel. He’d had less when he’d been on most missions.
The single white security light that remained in the parking lot cast eerie shadows over the bike and a couple of beat-up cars. The neon sign in the office window flickered a faded orange.
Nothing but the sign’s light moved, and he liked it that way. His phone rang and he answered the distinctive ring. If only he had more answers for his son.
