My Mother Sold Me to Pay Her Dealer, and the Man Who Took Me From Him Has a Use for Me novel · Chapter 10 of 24
Chapter 10: The Dry Dock
We walked into the Dry Dock at nine on Friday night.
It was a week to the day since I had walked out of it.
I wore my own blue coat, buttoned to the neck, and boots that Valentine's driver had found in my size, and nothing red.
Valentine walked a step ahead of me with four men behind, and they came through the door together.
The bar went quiet.
The jukebox had been playing, and then someone pulled its plug.
Forty men stood along the long wood bar, and a few of them I knew.
The man who came on Tuesdays stood at the far end with a beer.
He saw me and set the beer down very carefully and began to edge toward the back.
Valentine's driver stepped in front of him and shook his head once, and the man stood still.
Marek sat at his corner table with his feet up and a plate of wings.
He did not stand.
"Valentine," he said warmly. "You came back. I figured you would. Sit down, we'll talk."
