Are you ready?” Grizz called from the living room. “Just a sec,” she called back. She never did convince Grizz to take her dancing for her birthday a couple of months ago. She knew asking him was a stretch, but she figured she’d give it a shot. She was still happy she was getting to go to a dance club. She loved to dance and Axel was only too happy to oblige. Of course, he’d told Grizz if he was coming to the motel to pick up Kit, he didn’t want to get hassled by the others. Grizz understood and they put on a pretense in front of some of the regulars. Grizz “ordered” Axel to take Kit dancing, and Axel pretended to stomp off, mad. Kit was actually surprised that Grizz had agreed to play along. Grizz watched from the window as Axel talked to some of the guys in the pit. He could tell by his body language that Axel was “complaining” about why he was there. Grizz actually smiled. Then his smile faded as he thought about Kit’s rape last year.
