Montgomery pointed to the car. “Is Nastos going to come out and say hello?”
“Yeah. He says I’m allowed to have a few drinks tonight so we can put this behind us for once and for all.”

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK publisher Jack David of ECW Press for giving me this opportunity. The editorial process was educational and could have been pure anguish had it not been for Emily Schultz’s and Cat London’s clever direction and guidance.
Brian Henry of Toronto provides excellent writing workshops and I suggest aspiring writers check out what he’s got to offer. I’ve been lucky to have good teachers, the kind who prepare you for independence, rather than just reading curriculum at you. Barry Samells, Peter Locke, Peter Koehli, Gianni Owen, Jill Tillman and Diane MacKenzie — any two of them would have made all the difference; I was lucky to have them all.
The Home Team blurs the line between friends and family. Kathleen, Jaida, Mike, Hartley, Karen and Bryan, thanks for the support.
R.D. CAIN has worked for the last 18 years in the emergency services as a paramedic, firefighter, and police officer. He lives in Scarborough, Ontario. This is his first novel.
