Hacker!
"Stan, did you see what Dree did?"
"No, Moth--"
"We now have a bamboo fence on the back of the property. Some
of the bamboo is still in the ground and he wove it right into the
fence!"
"Do you like it?"
"I'm astonished. I've never seen anything like it! I had a good
idea."
Stan said nothing.
Dree RainCave, followed by Majestic, stalked into the kitchen just then. He poured himself a cup of coffee and then sat at the table.
"I'm done," he said. "I'm not going to anymore open doper meetings and I'm not going back to CODA either."
That Damn Stan's damn mother glared at Dree.
"I'm not an addict. I'm an atheist in case the two of you haven't noticed. I don't relate to them. And you can't make me go." Majestic jumped into Dree's lap and hissed.
Stan nodded. "We'll all atheists here, Dree."
"How do you put up with that Higher Power shit?" Dree sucked down half of his coffee and slammed the mug down on the table.
"And 'everything happens for a reason." What bull!"
"Now you listen to me, you ungrateful foul excuse of a human being! We are hiding you out from the feds at our own peril. I wanted to keep you busy so you stay out of trouble, young man."
"I do and do for you kids and this is the thanks I get," Dree retorted in a sing-song. "Get a grip. You can't control me. I'm a hacker."
He pushed his chair back and stalked down the hallway. A minute later, Stan and his mother heard the back door slam.
His mother went to get up. "Leave it be," Stan said wearily. "How do you put up with all that god talk at those meetings anyway?"
