Heaven wouldn’t hurt so bad, would it?

Summary
His father named him in the traditions of their people, the proud hill tribes of the Hawk and Gryphon who worshipped the Silver Lady of the night and roamed the purpled heather of the moorlands on boar-back since before the first magic word was spoken.

“The old escape hatch.”
“Yeah. Yeah, that’s right.”
“Okay.” Ray studies him a moment longer. “Well? Where’re we escaping to?”

Summary
The sixth time, Ray fills in the end of one of Pete’s jokes and Hank Olson says, “Do you two know each other?”
“Yeah,” Pete says, grinning at Ray, watching him flush. “We go way back.”
Or, the road doesn't want 50 people dead on it each year. This creates a great deal of trouble for the boys it decides can stop that.
