On The Road
RAINER LAWSON
“She’ll be fine,” Logan assured Rainer as they fell back into the
Mustang. They’d just dropped Emily off at the farmhouse on their
way to the Pentagon for work.
Rainer rolled his eyes. He was growing weary of everyone’s insistence
that he was overreacting about Emily’s safety when, just the day before,
she’d almost been abducted by one of Wretchkinsides’s top dogs.
“She has the ring of invincibility, remember?” Logan laughed.
Rainer forced a chuckle. He knew Logan, his best friend and Emily’s
older brother, was trying to get him to loosen up.
It was a humid July morning in McLean, Virginia. The fumes from
Rainer’s ’65 Mustang convertible filled the muggy air around them as he
revved the enhanced engine.
“So, you had no idea? About the ring, I mean?” Logan asked.
“No. All that stuff Vindico told us yesterday about the legend, or
whatever, I’d never heard any of that. If I’d known my mother’s ring was
infused with enough promethium to let Em throw shields like that, I
would’ve proposed in middle school. I can’t believe my dad never told me.”
That was the thing that hurt Rainer the most.
Logan studied him for a minute. “I bet he either never knew or didn’t
believe it after your mom was killed.”
Rainer had been in love with Emily for as long as he could remember.
He let his mind reel backwards as he drove off of the Haydenshires’ vast
farm and took in the onslaught of pine trees and dogwoods along the route.
He remembered sitting in her bedroom with her when he was six years
old, because she’d been afraid of a storm that had driven Emily, Rainer, and
all seven of her big brothers in from playing in the back fields.
“You’re my boyfriend,” she’d informed him in her forthright redheaded
sass that still drove him wild. She’d informed him of the same thing when
he was four, but that day during the storm always stuck out in his mind.
“I am?” He was thrilled but didn’t understand how that had come to
pass. “How do you know?”
“Because I said so,” she huffed as if Rainer was clearly not thinking
straight.
“Okay…”
He smiled as he came back to the present. He would never love
anything more than Emily. I have to keep her safe. The thought seared
through his mind and tensed in his energy shield for what felt like the
hundredth time just that morning.
“I’m still kinda hungry,” Logan hinted.
Rainer hadn’t consciously been aware of his own hunger until Logan
had spoken up. He exited the interstate several miles before the Pentagon
and pulled through a drive-thru
