Blaze knew something was wrong the instant he walked into the
gas station.
It was too quiet.
A woman he didn’t recognize stood frozen against the wall that housed
the soda machine and coffee pots, eyes wide as they darted between Blaze
and a tall, thin man in a hoodie and face mask. He was leaning across the
counter where patrons bought snacks and paid for gas when the pumps
weren’t taking credit cards.
Well, fuck.
Blaze had been in Alabama for the past month and a half, working with
his team to create One Shot Tactical in warehouses on an old farm, and he
stopped at this gas station at least four times a week for a pulled pork
sandwich. One of the amazing things about Alabama was that some of the
best ’cue in the state was found in Mom & Pop gas stations.
Clarence had a stick burner out back and kept it fed with hickory. He
smoked pork, ribs, and the occasional brisket, and sold them with the sides
his wife made fresh every day.
Blaze had really been hankering for some mac and cheese with his
sandwich today. Looked like he wasn’t getting it. Not without some effort.
He didn’t see Clarence, but June made her sides at home and Clarence
went to pick things up a couple times a day if she was still busy cooking
and couldn’t leave the kitchen. It was only a ten-minute trip, and the station
was never so slammed that whoever was there couldn’t handle the load.
The man pointed a weapon at Blaze. Black. Nine mil. Looked like a
Taurus, maybe a G2C. A decent gun, but not the best on the market. Cheap
as guns went, which might explain why this waste of skin had one.
“Hands up, asshole!”
Blaze lifted his hands slowly. “Hey, man. Just wanted a sandwich. Not
looking for trouble.”
The man jerked the gun in the woman’s direction. “Get over there with
her.”
Behind the counter, the teenage clerk had a look of numb shock on her
face as she took money from the register with shaking hands. Blaze
recognized her as the daughter of one of their regulars at the range. Poor kid
was terrified. A quiet current of rage reared inside his gut.
He fucking hated criminals. Hated anyone who terrorized innocent
people. It’d been his job to take those kinds of people down for years. Still
was, even if the setting was different.
“I’m going.” He edged toward the woman. “You haven’t committed a
serious crime yet. You can fix this. Put the gun down, don’t take the money.
This can be over with nobody getting hurt.”
“Shut the fuck up, old man.”
“Aw, dude, that hurts. I’m thirty-eight. Not that old. How about you?”
“Shut up or I’ll kill you.” He glanced at the cashier. “Keep filling the
bag and hand it over.”
