Chapter 14: Henare's Holden

Moe and Hine: The Novel

Chapter 13: And Nan said I was the wheke whakararu (read here)

The last time I posted a chapter was in January. Apart from being extremely work busy and dealing with life’s drama’s…I was spending a lot of time trying to transition these two characters into the car! Its a form of procrastination. We last had Moe and Hine, talking what to do next, after Henare had left Moe’s house with his passport. Note to self: I need to go back and ramp hearing Henare’s Holden revving it up and blasting loud music.

But here is the first part of Chapter 14: Henare’s Holden (how they got into it I might just leave to a part of the story that unravels.)

“He’s got a fast car,” Tracy croons LOUDLY. Of course Hine has it up the loudest she can.

“Right on,” she yells, winding the window down as I turn onto State Highway One.

The car drives smooth. And it does go fast. But I have only ever driven his car two times. Two times that he ever let me drive it. This is  my third. My heart is racing.  It smells like him. I don’t like that. He is going to be so angry. Angrier than I have ever seen him before. But not like right in your face. Insidious. It was dark and deep. Sly and secretive. His anger fucked with your heart. Fucked with your head. Fucked with your soul.
