Emily Made the Biker Promise He Wouldn’t Leave—Then One Old Photograph Revealed Her Father Had Been Hiding a Secret About Red Oak for Eighteen Years
A work of fiction. The characters and events are invented; any resemblance to real people is coincidental.
A little girl walks across a playground, stops in front of a biker with a gray beard, and makes him promise he won’t leave before she shows him what is in her pocket.
It is an old photograph of three men outside a garage called Red Oak. One of the faces has been scratched out in black ink.
On the back, in her father’s handwriting, are the words: MASON — YOU KEPT YOUR FIRST PROMISE. NOW KEEP THE SECOND.
Mason remembers the first promise. He has no memory of ever making a second one.
Where is Daniel Carter? Why did he scratch out a face? And what has been sitting under Red Oak for eighteen years?
