“I can send a recruit to pick him up,” I offered.
Indigo shook her head. “That’s very nice, but he’s not going anywhere with anyone I don’t know.”
“Indy, you’re embarrassing me,” Leo hissed.
She rolled her eyes. “How does Friday work?”
“Yeah, Friday’s good,” I said.
“Okay, great. He’ll be here after school.”
“See you then,” I said, and lingered in order to watch her perfect little ass walk out the door.

“Did youhaveto tell Jekyll I didn’t have money for the bus?” Leo accused once we were on the road.
“He needed an answer, Leo.”
“I could have called him... or you could have since I’m grounded.”
I sighed. He had a point. “You’re right, bud. I’m sorry. I just got a little flustered.”
He shrugged. “It’s fine.”
“How did it go?”
“So cool,” he said, his eyes lighting up. “He totally said I did the best job he’d ever seen with the bathrooms.”
“Yeah?”
“Yep. And he said if I did a good job and stopped creepin’ on...”
He didn’t finish and I glanced at him. “Leo, what did you do?”
“Nothing. I swear. I was just talking to Vanna and Jekyll didn’t like it.”
“Talking or flirting?” I asked.
He studied his hands with a shrug.
“Leo,” I warned.
“Okay, fine. She’s hot! What else could I do?”
I groaned. “Oh my god.”
“No, it’s cool. Jekyll and I talked man-to-man and it’s all good now.”
“Oh, yeah? What kind of man-to-man talk did Jekyll have with you?”
He filled me in on the conversation and I forced myself not to groan out loud. I didn’t want to like this guy. He was a degenerate biker and scary as hell, but he also seemed to be giving Leo some good advice.
Advice that the horny little punk was listening to.
“Okay, well, that’s good advice,” I admitted begrudgingly.
