    Summary

    Billy has always known that his life was less than desirable. He’d long given up trying to fix his broken relationship with his father and was instead trying to survive him.

    After a rough encounter with Neil, Billy is offered a chance at a better life. A chance to be a normal kid.

    But things have never been that easy for Billy.

    Summary

    “Is he dead?” Max squawks, somewhere between stricken and relieved, eyes bugging. 

    The chief crouches to feel for a pulse and Susan goes rigid beside Billy. 

    “He’s mad at me,” she whispers so quietly he believes he’s the only one who hears. She’s quaking scared and Billy takes a step in front of her, putting himself between her and the cop. 

    “Yeah, Max, he’s dead,” he declares before he can change his mind, “I killed him.” 

    The chief’s head snaps up. Max inhales sharply, eyelids fluttering fast. Susan’s fingers clench so tight he feels her nails biting crescents into his skin. 

    The chief stands up, measuring Billy and Susan with an investigative gaze. Billy knows what he’s seeing. He’s seeing the blood splatter painted all over Susan’s clothes. He’s seeing the broken off tenderizer head, the bloodied and splintered wooden handle close by. He’s seeing Susan’s hands stained in red around Billy’s arm and the way Billy holds himself in front of her, guarding her from The Authority and the calculating eyes of The Authority that would identify even more of Neil’s blood splattered on her if he were to step aside.
