Chapter Seven – Riley Pearl
Spankie was dead. Daryl was working on creating an operational bike out of bits and pieces of other bikes. Riley was standing guard. "Your dad really name you after a hunting dog?"
Riley smiled, "Yea, 'sept Riley was a boy dog." She laughed a little, so did Daryl.
"My full name is Daryl Coon Dixon." Riley looked across the dust covered garage at him.
"Coon?" Riley smiled at him. "Mines Riley Pearl Johnson, well, my maiden name was Walker. Kind of funny now…"
"Dad thought everyone should be a joke." Daryl snarled.
Riley stopped smiling. Daryl was brooding and moody, but there was something unique about him, something hopeless and heroic.
