Prologue

"Where the f**k do you two think you're goin' on such short notice?" Bones Darley demanded.

"None of your business." Billy Darley answered as he walked past his father toward his black mustang. "All you need to know is that we're gonna be outta town for a while."

"Then if I'm lucky, it'll be quite a while before you come back." Bones said as he watched his younger son, Joe, place a packed duffle bag into the back seat of Billy's car.

"We'll be lucky to not come back at all." Billy stated before sliding into the drivers seat with Joe in the passenger seat. The engine roared to life before reversing away from the body shop and then quickly heading down the street.

"Those two are f***ing up to something." Bones muttered to himself before heading back into his shop. He made his way through the quiet building, went out back and walked into the small house that was located only a few feet behind the shop.

He walked in and right away went straight to Billy's room.

At first glance he didn't see anything out of the ordinary but he knew Billy was always keeping things from him.

Bones made his way over to the worn out desk that was located in a corner of the room. He right away spotted a photo that he hadn't seen in nearly sixteen years.

"Look at that." he muttered picking up the picture that was of three young boys. He looked at the youngest in the photo who held a striking resemblance to the two older boys. "Little Jackie. Almost forgot about you kid. Been years since I've seen you."

Placing the photo back where it was, Bones continued his search in hopes of figuring out where his two sons had run off to. A normal person would first check the drawers of a desk but Bones knew better. He knew Billy wasn't an idiot.

Kneeling down, Bones looked under the desk and right away spotted a few white envelopes taped under the desk. Grabbing them, he yanked them out and sat on the unmade bed to examin them.

"What the f**k?" he muttered to himself as he looked at the name and address of who sent the letter.

Jack Mercer

P.O. Box 934 Detroit, Michigan

"My little Jackie is still alive." Bones mused to himself as he pulled out the letter from the last envelope which turned out to be the most recent letter.

Dear Billy and Joe

I can't wait to see you guys. Having you guys here will really mean the world to me. Especially since my birthday is only three days away. I still can't believe that I'm already gonna be twenty. Bobby is already planning a party for my birthday and he says that this one will be the most memorable for various reasons. Knowing him, he's gonna humiliate me in every way he can. As if he doesn't already.

But he'll have the memorable part right. Having him, Jerry and Angel here along with you two will make this birthday the best by far.

I'll see you guys soon. Be careful driving here.

Love,

Jack.

Bones folded the letter, placed it back in the envelope, wrote down the address on a piece of paper, taped the small stack under the desk where he found it and made his way to his own room.

He went to his closet, grabbed his suitcase, placed it on his bed and started filling it with his clothing and a few weapons.

"Jackie's birthday is coming up. As his father, I should be there to wish him a happy birthday."
