Title: Going home

Notes: Thanks to vl_redreign for the beta.
The second time Vic ever met Brian was at the intersection of two streets in a middle class neighborhood. Brian was exactly where he said he would be when he called Deb’s house thirty minutes earlier, asking for a lift. As Brian gingerly got into the passenger side, Vic could see the busted and swollen lip. Brian muttered a thanks, his voiced tinged with anger and shame. He knew Brian had a pretty bad attitude, but Vic could never imagine hitting a kid, much less your own. Vic gripped the wheel hard and sped down the street. “Let’s go home.”
