章 11: Chapter 11

“He’s pissed I went behind his back and got myself into this mess, but glad you’re okay, and glad we’re trying to do something about this. Good enough?” Nathan turned to look at Jim, who was still turned away from him. “Hey. Come on. At least my savior is a chick, right? Sasha. I totally call dibs.”

“What?”

“Dibs. If she’s hot,” Nathan amended.

“You’re just jealous I called dibs first.”

“Nathan.”

“Ah, come on, Jim, I’m just trying to have a little fun.”

Jim rolled his eyes. “That was our exit,” he said, pointing at the passing onramp that would have merged them onto their next Interstate.

“Oh. Shit.”
