I was standing outside a bowling alley with a red neon sign that
said Coug r Lanes. Cougar Lanes. The first A wasn’t lit up, just
blacked out.
Okay, then.
Coug r Lanes.
Channing: 4 pm. Cougar Lanes. Ask for Brock or
Hawk. Steer clear of Shetland. Watch his hands.
As I stood there, a truck careened toward the front door,
stopping right in front. Doors quickly opened and two guys exited
and walked inside, dressed in full bounty hunting gear. Bulletproof
vests. Handcuffs in their back pocket. Radio on the side. Gun
holsters. Stun guns on the hip. Their badges hung over their chests
on a chain that went around their necks.
I sighed. I had the right place.
Channing said he was going to hook me up for a job since my
first one didn’t take. To say I’d been floundering the last two months
would be an understatement. I was up a creek with no paddle. But
if anyone asked how I was doing, totally fine, all good, all set, all
smiles (said with a straight face) and yeah, totally lying through my
gritted teeth.
I wasn’t fine.
I was so far from fine, but I didn’t know what to do about
anything right now.
This was foreign territory for me.
I used to think I’d never leave Roussou. It’s where I grew up. I
laughed, loved, cried, bled, suffered, and persevered through so
much there. A future outside of Roussou was not something in my

wheelhouse of possibilities, but then everything shifted, and
somehow here I was. I was living in a house with Cross, Zellman,
and Jordan. All of them were attending Cain University and
seemingly loving it.
Which I hated. Don’t call me bitter. Just call me the friend that
feared was getting left behind. It was a lonely club, a table of one.
But it was what it was.
Zellman was the one who took to college like a fish in water. I
think that surprised everyone because Zellman was never known as
the academic one, but he loved classes. He loved the parties. He
loved the football games. He really loved the college girls since he
was officially not dating anyone. Now, don’t ask me how he was
doing in those classes because I had a feeling that was a whole
different story.
Jordan and Cross seemed fine, but there were other issues going
on with both of them. The most dramatic was Jordan’s breakup with
Tabatha.
She’d come to Cain for him. He ended things a week after
classes started and the shit hath hitteth the faneth.
Tab went back to Bitch Tab and that meant she became friends
real quick with a sorority at Cain U, and guess whom they all hated?
My crew. Our house. Jordan was banned from attending any sorority
and fraternity party on campus. At first, she tried to ban all of us,
and I have to include Cross and myself because we went to a few
parties, but they weren’t really our thing, but it was really only
Zellman who had an issue with her ban.
We had a sit-down with Tab, reminded her of our crew roots.
She then amended her ban to exclude only Jordan, which I didn’t
think Jordan cared about. Lately he’d been making friends with
other girls, the non-sorority type. That was the best way to explain
them because they didn’t really look different than the sorority girls,
or act differently, but they were just not in sororities.
But again, Zellman was a lover of all parties and any parties.
It still seemed weird when he’d go to a party without any of us,
but I was guessing it was growing pains? We were in a new place, a
new school (or they were), and a new stage in our lives. We were
growing, but to me that just meant we were all going our own
ways, which sucked. Majorly. But it was inevitable.
So yeah, seeing as I was the only one not in college, I tried to
go the mature route. I even took a course so I could get certified
and work in a hospital. The job was boring, and I took attitude from
some nurses. Some were cool. Some were snobs. Some were
alcoholics. And some were like drill sergeants.
That job just hadn’t been for me, that is, until I met some
bounty hunters who came in with a knife wound.
There was a conversation between us and now I was standing
outside this bowling alley that needed a paint job badly. The trim
was faded. The paint was stripped off in most places. The sign
needed a tune-up.
It was four in the afternoon, and there were six cars in the
parking lot.
I had no clue if that was good business or not.
The front door was painted red, half of the color was gone.
Add that to the missing A lighted letter neon sign, and I was
sensing a whole theme. Desperation and apathy.
I headed inside, hearing the squeak that mimicked the sound of
a screeching cat. Heading inside was like night and day. The sun
was blinding outside. Inside, hot and dark. They had no air-
conditioning, hence the six cars, because I was seeing there were
only two people bowling. A guy and a girl, on what looked like an
awkward date. Stiff shoulders and all. The guy seemed like he had
to adjust his hard-on when the girl bent over to bowl. In an un-air-
conditioned bowling alley.
Extremely awkward date.
She came back, a shy grin on her face as he stood, his dick
adjusted in a move she didn’t take note of but should’ve because it
was hard not to be obvious about it. The lanes were all lit up, the
same red neon lighting as the theme that mirrored the exterior, yet
this ran the length of the place. Walls. Booths. Tables. The shelves
for the bowling balls. All lit up with that red color. There was a
snack bar in one section. The other section was filled with pool
tables, air hockey, and other arcade games.
Behind the register, which was a combination bar, a girl was
reading over something on a piece of paper. Girl, or maybe a
woman? She looked young, but there were some age lines under
her eyes, as if she’d seen too much in the world. Hell, maybe seen
too much in this place. Her face was striking, almost gaunt angles
and oval-shaped. Wide-set dark eyes. Her eyebrows looked
threaded, like they were braided, which matched her hair. I’d never
seen eyebrows like that, but I was actually surprised. I would’ve
thought they’d look stupid. They didn’t. They looked artistic, but like
I said before, they matched her hair. She had an almost Viking
hairstyle, with her hair shaved on the sides with a thick French braid
crossing around and over the shaved sides…on both sides. And she
had another at the top of her hair, mingling with the rest that was
loose. Slicked back, even.
I started toward her and she glanced over.
I faltered, seeing her makeup. Dark, smoky eyes and a matte-
color red over her lips, making her look somewhat like a modern-
day warrior. It was badass, that’s what it was. And I wasn’t
someone who was ever impressed with other chicks.
I lifted my chin in a greeting, my hands sliding into my back
pockets. “My brother told me to ask for Hawk or Brock?” Was this
Brock?
Her eyes cooled. She turned to face me, a halter strap, black
tank top that showed off two round tribal tattoos going around her
biceps. “Who’s your brother?”
“Channing Monroe.”
Surprise flared before a more welcoming tone came from her.
The chilly effect was gone. “Oh. Sorry about that. I’m Hawk.”
Really? She was Hawk? I expected a guy, but okay. It fit her
look.
She held her hand out, and I crossed the last few steps, giving
hers a shake.
There I go. More adulting. I’d graduated onto actual handshakes
now.
“Bren Monroe.”
“Yeah.” She motioned for me to follow her and moved down the
bar. She said as we went, “You met Gramps and Bonnie, right? At
the ER?”
I nodded.
She lifted up a counter and I moved past her, then she moved
into a back room. She walked and talked, going down a hallway.
“They said they met a girl who worked there. Don’t remember how
they said the conversation went, but found out you were related to
Channing Monroe. Your brother’s big in our world. He’s new but
making waves, and people have started to reach out to him.” She
paused outside a door, eyeing me, studying me. “Helps with your
dad’s connections, too.”
I didn’t blink, or move, or show any reaction, but inside, my
lungs wailed. I felt like an invisible bat had been swung and got me
smack in the chest. It was a dull hit, though. Not painful, but
shocking. But all she saw was me, my mask always in place, and a
faint nod back to her. “Yeah. I’m sure.”
I waited, studying her back as she was still observing me.
Her eyes narrowed a fraction of an inch, and then she chuckled
softly to herself. “Right. Heard about his release. Gotta be
something to celebrate, right?”
My tone was dry. “Right.” I followed her inside the room.
It was a small office, one that reminded me of Heather’s at
Manny’s. There were a few filing cabinets in the corner, but mostly
paper everywhere. The entire office was messy, and she grabbed a
file off a chair, dusted off a few specks of dirt, and lifted the
handcuffs that had been hanging over the back. Both items were
dropped on her desk as she sat in a rolling chair. She nodded to the
emptied chair. “Have a seat.”
I did, taking everything in.
There were plaques and framed photographs all over the wall,
from floor to ceiling. I recognized the two I already met at the
hospital, Gramps and Bonnie. They introduced themselves as a
married couple, both in their sixties, but both who kept in shape.
They’d been tanned and weathered, telling me they spent most of
their time outside. Bonnie’s hair had been loose, but there was curl
in it that I guessed had been from overnight curlers. A smattering of
white hair showed me she needed a new dye job, but it was enough
that also told me she didn’t really care about doing the dye job. The
white had looked nice on her, made her almost elegant.
Gramps had silver white hair, a hairy mustache, too. Neither was
combed through.
Thinking back to our conversation in the ER, both were cracking
jokes the entire time Gramps was there to have a stab wound
looked at. They had even caused me to break my typical Bren
protocol. They caught me smiling at them, an actual genuine smile
after one joke where Bonnie laid her hand and head on her man’s
arm.
I had that with Cross, and I hoped to always have that, but I felt
my mom around me at that moment. I missed my mom right then,
something fierce.
Bonnie asked my name, asked my last name, and when they
told me they were bounty hunters, I mentioned I knew a few. The
conversation happened at light speed after that. I left work that
night thinking I needed to find another job. It was a good job, but it
just wasn’t me, and when I opened my phone, Channing had left a
text. Gramps and Bonnie had gotten in touch after they were
released from the ER, and he said they had a job offer for me.
Hence me being here.
“So, you’re technically an intern.”
Well, fuck. I needed to get paid.
Hawk’s mouth curved up. She held a hand up. “But don’t worry.
That’s only the name of your position, but it is paid, and you’ll
transition into an office assistant almost right away.” She had a pile
of papers in her hand and her eyes narrowed, tracking my every
emotion. Or would’ve if I had been showing any. I knew I wasn’t. I’d
been professionally locked down since my mother died.
So, I waited.
See…I get that I wasn’t being normal.
I’m young. I’m new to this world, and this town, and I was still
just starting out on the exploratory trek of finding what the hell I
wanted to do in the world, but the usual roles that I should be

At any given distance r from the slot, the flow is radial inward, with
constant velocity. Find an expression for the polar coordinate stream
function of this flow. P4.53 For the fully developed laminar pipe flow
solution of Eq. (4.137), find the axisymmetric stream function i fj(r,

pipe as a ratio of Mmax. P4.54 An incompressible stream function is

this flow using polar coordinates. P4.49 Investigate the stream
function ifi = K(x2 — y2), K = constant. Plot the streamlines in the
full xy plane, find any stagnation points, and interpret what the flow
could represent. P4.50 In 1851, George Stokes (of Navier-Stokes
fame) solved the problem of steady incompressible low-
Reynoldsnumber flow past a sphere, using spherical polar
coordinates (r, 9) [Ref. 5, page 168]. In these coordinates, the
equation of continuity is where U and L are (positive) constants.
Where in this chapter are the streamlines of this flow plotted? Use
this stream function to find the volume flow Q passing through the
rectangular surface whose corners are defined by (x, y, z ) = (2 L, 0,
0), (2 L, 0, b), (0, L, b ), and (0, L, 0). Show the direction of Q.

function exists. ( b ) If so, determine the form of the stream
function, and (c) plot a few representative streamlines.

velocity components where V and L are constants. If they exist, find
the stream function and velocity potential. P4.58 Show that the
