If it comes to that...Covenant Series, book six...
"Not too long after my turn and my evacuation from Jersey, Flash called me. That first call, first contact, after that night at the barn. I figured it would be coming and the questions asked and the tone used didn’t surprise or upset me. My only qualm was having that conversation over the phone. I had been evaluating what to do next but I didn’t want to run off into the ether without someone keeping tabs on me."
"Flash agreed to meet in person and he hadn’t even gotten the chance to unscrew the cheap bottle of tequila he came with before I spelled it out for him. “I’m going into the vigilante game, legit this time. We were there, we know what they were. I need…”
"Flash cut me off, “Fuck yes I will. You don’t even need to ask. I’ll hit you up once a week or so and keep tabs on the news in New York. You go rogue and I can’t reach you, I’ll be on the first plane.”
"That was it, all that needed to be said. We both understood what was being asked and answered. When or if the time comes when I no longer wonder about or argue with the thing in the mirror, Flash will come along to blow a hole in me large enough to watch a television through, no questions asked."
"Having your new best friend agree without hesitation to come along and murder you should the need arise would likely require a pause for most people. For me it’s a huge relief, knowing that he’ll actually keep tabs, and follow through. Knowing that gives me the peace of mind to keep at this game for as long as I can."
