More slowly than they needed to. Possible, Will supposed, that he'd been a little more emphatic than needed explaining about the steepness of the way up here. Also possible that Dunbar was still a little after-dazed.\n\nMight be both.\n\nSam's paw landed on his rear. Under the guise of groping him, he confirmed what Will still had in his back pocket. \"Well,\" said the cougar, \"shall we get this little ceremony out of the way?\"\n\nBefore Will could answer there was a crash.\n\nLeo came barreling out of the front door, still pulling on his pants. He scrambled to his truck, hit the driver door so hard it rocked on its suspension, skidded in the gravel but pulled himself upright on the handle.\n\nBefore Will or Sam could finish assembling the words 'what the fuck,' the truck roared to life and split down the road.\n\nThere was a moment of perfect stillness.\n\nThen Todd burst out the front door, shouting \"Wait! You fergot your...\"\n\n  \n\n\"I dunno!\" Todd huddled in the old recliner, shoulders hunched. \"I noticed his phone was gettin lots-a messages, I brought it, he looked at sumfin on it, and next thing I knew he was lit out like he was tryin to beat a tornado to the storm cellar.\"\n\n\"He didn't,' Cliff sipped the cocoa that Nik had busied himself with, to stave off worry, \"say anything? On the way out?\"\n\n\"He sure didn't.\" Todd shook his head. \"Just looked like he was fixin to have a heart attack, dropped his phone, an bolted!\"\n\n\"So it was something in the messages he was getting?\" Will glared at the phone Leo had left behind. \"...does anyone know how to open this thing?\"\n\n\"Wait, is that a good idea?\" Murdoch froze, Leo's shirt halfway folded in his hands, \"we're not about to go looking through his-\"\n\n\"I'm supposed to be responsible for him, aren't I?\" Will's stare was cold, not like ice, but like exposed bedrock.\n\nSam had already tilted the phone toward the light, squinted at the screen from the edge. A few trial guesses of the four digits with finger smudges on them, and the unlocked phone was passed back to Will.\n\n\"What?\" Sam met Murdoch, Cliff, and Nik's incredulous stares. \"You pick up skills when you do sex work!\"\n\n\"Oh shit.\" Will cut off the oncoming argument. The messages from Leo's father were still open, to the photo. \"Well that's what spooked him, then.\"\n\n\"But how did his father,' Nik looked, and sounded, deeply shaken, \"get this photo in the first place?\"\n\n\"How do I see,\" Will asked, \"what other messages he might have got?\"\n\nSam clicked his tongue, took the phone back, tapped, and returned it to Will.\n\nThere were messages from Will, and messages from the mechanics union (muted,) and the messages from his father. But the only unread messages were from someone named 'Jenna.'\n\n\\\u003e You need to know about this.\n\nAnd there was the picture again, with \"forwarded from \"Old Gang\" above it. Looked like someone tried to warn Leo that someone else was showing it around.\n\nBut who the hell took this?\n\n(Forwarded from \"Old Gang\")\n\n\\\u003e Hey isnt this that guy from high school football? That used to live out by yall?

For now at least.\n\nAt least that answered the question of why he'd freaked out and run.\n\n\"Someone should really check on him,\" Cliff said. They didn't need to specify that 'someone' meant 'us,' because who else was there?\n\n\"How?\" said Sam, \"He doesn't have his phone, we do.\"\n\n\"I know where he lives, though,\" Will pocketed the device. \"We'll start there.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
