He knew I was right behind the door, and would most likely hear every word they said. Maybe that was it, maybe he wanted me to hear for myself. As if I was too green to realize what they were, I didn't live thirty-two years as the man I am not to know these things. I just liked to let people hang themselves. When the Petra girl started in on Denton's father, I thought Maxie would have a coronary. I could actually see the change come over her; she was beyond pissed. I tried to stop her from getting out the door, but she was too fast for me that time. Of course her mother was just in time to see her knock the shit out of Petra, and lit into her once again. "Maxie Irene, whatever are you doing, are you insane?" "Screw you lady." Oh shit. "Sis..." Jonas tried to hold her back, but even I the relative stranger in the bunch could see that there was no turning back.
