Chapter 10The RideFinnTommy slid into the backseat of the cruiser first, and I got in right after him. I braced myself. This wasn’t going to be pretty.
My stepfather gripped the steering wheel. “What the hell are you two doing out this late?” he asked. I was glad that a steel mesh stood between us.
I racked my brain for the right words to say. Honestly, there were no words that could get me out of this. Tommy started talking. “It’s my fault, sir. I lost my wallet in the woods earlier and I talked Finn into helping me find it.”
“Let’s get this straight. You went out in the middle of the night, after curfew, to look for your wallet?” Polar Bear let out a fake, hard laugh.
Tommy sounded very polite. “Yes, sir. It wasn’t well thought out.” Tommy and I exchanged a look.
