“Your dad is so cool,” Thisbe giggled.
“Yeah, a real delight,” January made a frustrated noise at the back of his throat. “I need him to get the fuck out of that house. I bet money he convinces mom to finish what they started before he tries the tunnel.”
“He’s a horn dog,” Glenn gave a delighted laugh.
“Well, that’s the start of one problem solved,” January turned to look at Gulliver. “Can we focus on the others now?”
Gulliver shook his head angrily, “there will be no we focusing on anything. You will stay here with my mother and Thisbe and Grandfather.”
“Like fuck.”
“January!”
“Gulliver!”
“If you can’t understand why I feel the need to protect you then we are at an impasse.”
“An impasse? This isn’t an impasse. This is
your stubbornness
not seeing things clearly.”
“Okay, you think you’re so clever and can see things more

clearly than I can?” he waved at her, “tell me what you want to do? What are your ideas?”
“How about,” she held his gaze with irritation, “you do that,” she waved at his face, “again without the patronizing condescension?”
He ran his tongue along his front teeth as he fought a smile at her question. In spite of all the seriousness of the situation, he obviously was finding her feistiness attractive as he shifted his feet and tried very hard not to reach for her.
“My love,” he smiled, “why don’t we sit down at the table to brainstorm ideas on what we should do to rescue Ernst, kill Davis, and finally eliminate the Ziogas family, while” he maintained her annoyed gaze, “ensuring neither of us end up injured or dead.”
“I simply think that we need to go in together. We can work out how we’re going to go in with weapons and back–up and everything else we need but we go in together or he’s going to kill people. I don’t know how much explosives he put in my parents‘ house, but I do know if he put enough in it, and it blows, our neighbors could get hurt.”
“And how do we do that without you getting hurt?” Gulliver questioned. “He wants you coming in wearing a crop top and yoga pants.”
“What about flared yoga pants?”
“What are flared yoga pants?” Glenn frowned at her.

“I have a pair downstairs,” Thishe said seriously, “they have a wide ankle,”
“We could strap a knife to my ankle under the flare. I can stumble towards him, fall a bit, pull the knife from my ankle, and stab him in the neck,”
Gulliver closed his eyes at her words, “my love, I believe I already know the answer to this but, have you in fact ever killed another human being?”
“No but he’s threatening to take everyone I love away from me. I feel I could do it without a second thought and, it might simply be enough to distract him so you can do the kickass murderous mafia prince thing he keeps accusing you of.”
A notification on Gulliver’s phone distracted them and he frowned, “they are telling us to meet at an abandoned motel off the highway.”
An incoming call on January’s phone from Enid made her pause and then she answered it on speaker, “hi Enid.”
“What is happening January?”
“The FBI agent and his buddies grabbed Ernst when he went back to the office, and they put bombs in my parents‘ house.”
“Government agents working on behalf of the government put bombs in your parents‘ house?”

“I believe since most of them have been suspended or fired they are no longer working on behalf of the government Enid. They’re now working for their own agendas. They grabbed Ernst because they want to use him to control Glenn. They have my parents trapped to keep me from running. They want me to control Gulliver. They brought the Ziogases in as back up.”
“What you’re saying is they have you by the balls.”
“Yes, Enid, they have us by the balls but we’re going to get Ernst back and we’re going to make them pay.”
“Can I give you a piece of information, January? Share this with
your man.”
“Sure. Anything you can share Enid is going to be helpful.”
“Ernst is a quiet man. He doesn’t say much. He doesn’t weigh in on anything unless it’s important. He can tell you all you need to know with a few simple questions. He’s watching everything they’re doing, observing it all and memorizing every single aspect of wherever it is they took him. He’s an asset. Use him wisely.”
“Okay.”
“You bring my son home to me, January.” Enid cleared her throat, “Glenn, if you are there and you are listening, you bring him home in one piece and I will personally babysit both boys when you go on your first date.”
“I will bring him home, Enid, in one piece.” Glenn spoke quietly. 4/55

“Give them hell, January and punch that fucker Davis in the balls for me.” Enid said and hung up the phone.
She looked at the phone and then at Gulliver. “I can’t punch him in the balls if I’m not invited to the party.”
