Psych: A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Read p-1 Page 25


  “We’ve been in this drive-through line for twenty-three minutes,” he said. “We haven’t moved in twenty-two. The only headwind is coming from that kid blowing straw wrappers at us.”

  Gus cranked down the window another notch and let the warm breeze fill the car. “You drive your way, and I’ll drive mine.”

  Shawn reached for the door handle. “I’m going to go inside, place my order, receive my food, eat my delicious BurgerZone burger, place my refuse in the receptacle, and when I come back out, you’ll still be sitting in exactly this place.”

  “Quite possibly true, except for one thing.”

  “What’s that?”

  “Remember this?” Gus reached into the glove box and pulled out the xeroxed flyer. Across the top it read: Attention All BurgerZone Employees. On the bottom it warned in stern letters: Do Not Serve. And in the middle, a police artist’s sketch of Tara. And another one of Shawn.

  “If you even want to sniff the aroma of those delicious BurgerZone burgers, you’ll do it my way.”

  Shawn crumpled up the flyer.

  “You’re going to sit here forever because you’re so happy to be back behind the wheel of this car.”

  “Yup.”

  “And you’re going to make me sit here because you don’t like to be alone.”

  “Uh-huh.”

  “Don’t you think you’re taking advantage of the fact that I’ve been banned from BurgerZone? That you’re taking advantage of my own personal weakness?”

  “Don’t think of it as me taking advantage of you,” Gus said, patting Shawn on the knee. “Think of it as a win-win.”
