. I saved his sister s life when a rival drug dealer tried to use heragainst Stephan and then didn t arrest his ass when I caught him withthe drugs and money.It s a long story.But I can promise you that Ikept my nose clean. Kyle wasn t sure he wanted to hear it.His life was alreadycomplicated enough.* * * *Getting out of the city was the easy part.Staying awake on theroad wasn t.Tony felt like he had been driving for hours, and theywere still within a hundred miles of Portland.He had spent agesdriving around in circles to lose any possible tail they might havepicked up before finally hitting the highway heading east. I don t suppose you have a driver s license, do you? Tony askedas he glanced over at Kyle. No. Kyle snorted. I live in the city.What do I need a licensefor? Just wondering. You re getting tired, aren t you? Tony sighed. Yeah, baby, I am. We should have brought camping gear with us.I doubt anyonewould think to look for us in a campsite. Tony stared at Kyle for a moment then started laughing as hechanged lanes on the road, heading for the next exit. Baby, you re afucking genius. No swearing. 74 Stormy Glenn and Lynn Hagen Right, no swearing. If I can t swear, you can t swear. Kyle shrugged. It s onlyfair. All right, baby, it s a deal. Tony chuckled.He didn t have a cluein hell how he was going to keep from swearing, but for Kyle, he dgive it a shot.For Kyle, he d do just about anything.Tony took the next major exit and drove to the nearest largedepartment store.He had a blast watching Kyle pick out theircamping gear.He was like an excited butterfly, flittering from onething to the next.Tony had to remind him several times that there wasonly so much room in the back of the Hummer.Kyle wanted to buyeverything.Once their purchases had been made, including several bags ofgroceries and a cooler, they were on the road again.Despite havingbeen on the road for several hours, Kyle s excitement was contagious.Tony felt himself getting excited as well, looking forward to campingwith his lover.Tony took an exit off the freeway and started driving up into themountains.He knew of a few out-of-the-way places from his timecamping as a child.One such campsite wasn t even on any of themaps.It was one of those places people had to know about, or theywould drive right on by it. The road is going to get a bit bumpy, Kyle, Tony said as heturned the truck onto a narrow dirt road. Hold on. Ya think? Tony glanced over and burst out laughing.Kyle had a tight gripon his seat belt with one hand, the dashboard with the other.It wasn thelping.He was bouncing around in his seat like a Ping-Pong ball. Not funny. Kyle growled. Sorry, honey. Tony quickly pressed his lips together to keepfrom laughing anymore.No matter what Kyle said, watching himbounce around in his seat was funnier than shit. Kyle s Return 75Tony carefully maneuvered the vehicle through the narrow roaduntil he came to the campsite.He drove the Hummer right up to theedge of it then turned it around so it faced back down the road theyhad just come down.If they needed to get away quickly, he wanted tobe ready. Okay, babe, time to unload all of this stuff and set up camp.What do you know about putting up a tent? Uh& Kyle blinked for a moment. Don t they come set up? Not hardly. Tony was still smiling while he unloaded the camping gear fromthe back of the vehicle.He stacked everything on the side of the campthen went about unpacking it all and setting it up.A good hour wentby before he finally sat down on a fallen tree log next to Kyle. So, what do you think? he asked as he waved his hand towardthe now-erected tent and the rest of the camping gear. Think you aregoing to like camping? I never knew it took so much work.In all the movies, everythingjust goes up in a matter of minutes. That s because it s in the script. Tony laughed.Kyle smiled as he turned the long-handled fork with his hot dogstuck on the end slowly over the open campfire. I guess. Tony scooted down the log, sitting on the leaf-filled ground,stretching his legs out in front of him as he stared up at the stars in thesky. It s beautiful out here. He smiled when Kyle scooted down aswell, sitting right next to him.Tony threw his arm over Kyle s shoulders, pulling his lover closeras they sat there and roasted hotdogs.It was peaceful, domestic.Something that Tony never thought he would enjoy.He was findingout a lot about himself with Kyle in his life. Why do you think they re after me? Kyle asked as he pulled thelong-handled fork from the fire. 76 Stormy Glenn and Lynn Hagen I m not real sure.There was this man, Mr.Dannenberg, thatvisited Riojos and Collin up at Collin s folk s cabin.He said you canheal wounds and that you have immortality
