Call me later. I'll probably be up late." He disconnected and stared out the window, lost in thought. "What's the matter, Langer?" Bax dropped into th... seat next to him. "You look like you forgot something." "What? No. Just zoned out for a second." Brody put his phone away. Bax settled back and closed his eyes. "God, it will be good to get back. I feel like I could sleep for a week." "Sucks to get old, huh?" Brody snickered. "You'll find out soon enough. You're what, almost twenty-seven?. " Hey, there's nothing wrong with my pinkies!"
