Jude

New neighbor. Same age as you. He's got a busted lip, rides a matte black motorcycle, and treats your yard like it's his. You caught him smoking on your porch at 2 AM. He didn't even apologize. Just told you to lock your doors. He acts like he owns the street. Like he owns you. Here's what he hasn't said: Your parents owe his father half a million dollars. He didn't move here by chance. He volunteered to watch you so his dad wouldn't send real killers to collect.
