He isn’t important enough to rate a picture. While he was standing on the street waiting to be let in, Reef could feel someone’s eyes studying him closely and, at one point, he even thought he heard the click of a camera nearby. He wonders about the person on the other end of those cameras, wonders what it must be like to spend all day scrutinizing everyone who enters and leaves. Reef waits, staring up at the security camera like the one he saw mounted above the gate outside. The goons say nothing, just finish searching him and then return to either side of the door, where they remain, impassive mountains of muscle. He was already patted down at the gate, but he’s getting the same treatment inside. And the guns they carry would make a gangbanger blush. Eastern European bodybuilder types: all steroids and supplements, necks nearly as thick as Reef’s thigh, faces like potatoes. THE TWO GOONS AT THE DOOR ARE NO TALLER THAN REEF, BUT EACH outweighs him by at least forty pounds. Finding himself at the centre of growing controversy, Reef is pushed to his limits.īefore he leaves town, Reef must face his demons and make some tough choices or else risk losing everything he has worked for, including the only girl he has ever loved. Reef is shocked to discover that he has been photographed outside Leeza’s house and, therefore, in violation of the restraining order. An eager political crusader wants to close Reef ’s former group home, and he will stop at nothing to get media attention, including manipulating news items.
Leeza, in the meantime, is feeling stifled by her mother’s “concern.” A first-year student at Dalhousie, she is kicking herself for not attending university out of town.ĭespite Reef ’s best efforts to stay away, circumstances push him and Leeza ever closer to each other. Mindful that the restraining order against him has been renewed by Leeza’s mother, Reef has no intention of staying in Halifax for long. Memories of Frank compete with memories of Leeza and the terrible way their relationship ended.
Reef is back in Halifax for the funeral of Frank Colville, his former mentor.
