Have you everhow badly you had messed up?

This hat happened that day

That day when ht up with me

I guess I had gotten aith too htly because there was so called a hypocrite

And make no mistake, that was exactly what I would have said, too Even when Dad got his serious-face on, even when he crossed his ar thing

I could practically hear the silent conversation between hi able to say with looks more than I could ords and I had a lot of words

See, this is why no one should have been telling old war stories around the kids

She uratively, of course She meant the stories about how his own old, for being caught with girls, for cursing, for being, well, a horrible kid

Keep in mind, when Dad said his father's "friends," he meant his father's men He meant his father's brothers He meant the fellow bikers

Surely they knew I knew that by now

Even Fallon was getting an idea And, in htest of kids I mean, he watched other kids play Minecraft on Youtube all day instead of playing it hie on Youtube reading books

But, yeah, he occasionally would get this keen look at ti our parents and their friends with a quiet sort of intensity that was actually very much like Dad

He was finally catching onto so that I had known since I was hardly more than seven

Namely, Daddy was a criminal

Daddy and all of his friends were criminals

And, by extension, so was Mom And Aunt Lo and Aunt Janie Even the ones who didn't spend all their time at some military survivalist camp were too If not by profession, then by association Even the seely out of place Rey who Uncle Reeve had finally found a little happiness with

In case this wasn't clear, too, not a single one of these people were my actual aunts or uncles Except, technically, Aunt Lo Through et up the nerve to tell that he was getting a little old for his haircut

They were all h, to be fair, they certainly all acted like one giant family

For outlaw bikers
