The Nine Lives of Leo Roberts — Two: A Fast Car — Part Two

Leo sat in sullen silence in the front passenger seat, staring out the windscreen as Bernie's car strained, towing his secondhand car on a hired trailer up the hills to the abandoned quarry. Bernie had known Leo since the boy was eight and had taught him the things a father would normally teach a son.
