Chapter 44 – The capped drifter
TOP SPEED
Henry’s POV
“I heard you need a drifter.” I was surprised as I saw the girl standing behind Vic noona. I didn’t expect her to be here, nor volunteering herself as a drifter, if I got her message right.
“Yes, we do.” I answered her, still having my eyes on her.
