might not always do their own shopping, so they don’t understand the process. Usually after you pick out the food that you want, you get into a line to pay for these things.”
“Ouch, and I made the mistake of thinking that you were nice. Give the cart to Cam and he will take care of it. Let’s go back to the bus.”
“I’m not going to let him do all the work.”
“Cam just pointed out that we’re gaining some attention.” He whispered in my ear and he glanced up at the young, female cashier. She is texting someone now and her fingers are fumbling over the buttons. Her hands are shaking. Clearly, Ryder has been recognized.
Camden walks up behind us and takes the cart from me, the rest of the guys’ carts are behind him. “You guys better get back to the bus. I’ll pay and get Mike to help me bring everything in. The rest of the guys already left.”
I nod at him then follow Ryder to the bus. I glance back at Cam and see the guy that was looking at me earlier with his phone up and see a flash. Great, more photos.

Once back on the bus I start putting food away and Elaina gets to work making sandwiches for the guys. Once I’m done with the last of the boxes, I help Elaina take food to the guys, who are all sitting on the couch or in front of it and playing video games. Personally, I think they could all get up off their asses and make their own damn sandwiches, but Elaina insisted that she do it for them and I couldn’t let her do it by herself.
As Elaina and I sit at the table on opposite sides to eat. There are a few minutes of comfortable silence before she speaks.
“What is your family like?” she asks me and her face softens. I wonder if she is thinking of her own family.
“Mom’s a typical mom I guess. She stayed home with us; she cooked dinners and took us to all of our activities. I have a sister, Isabel, she can be a pain, but we really are close. There weren’t many kids our age in the neighborhood, so we had to entertain each other. My dad worked a lot, but he made sure he was home every night. He managed Ryder’s dad’s band, Sinister Dream. Now he manages Line 9.”
“So that is how you met Ryder?” she tilts her head and is staring at me as if I’m a puzzle that she is trying to piece together. I like that she’s so interested.
“Yeah, we’ve been friends since we were young. My mom thinks of him as one of her own. His parents were gone a lot, so he would stay with us.” I peek over my shoulder at Ryder, I’m sure he wouldn’t appreciate me telling her this much. He isn’t paying attention; he’s too busy trying to kick some zombie ass in his video game.
“That’s nice of your mom to do so much for him,” she says as she smiles.
“That is just the kind of person that she is. She likes everyone. I think she would love you.”
“Maybe I’ll get to meet her someday.” For some reason, I smile at the thought of introducing Elaina to my family.
“What’s your family like? You said that you moved to Chicago with your Aunt Karen when you were thirteen?” I’m curious why her family didn’t move there too.
“Well, my mom was a lot like your mom. She stayed home with us, but when I started school, she went back to teaching. She was the kind of mom that made dinner, helped with homework and volunteered at all of our school activities. Dad was a vet in town. He was kind of a big kid. Dad, my brother and I would always play pranks on each other. It drove my mom crazy. My brother, Braden was one of my best
