Bobbi Manfredi.
Niece to Dwight and Joanne Manfredi.
Just me, weaving threads & getting way too invested in fictional people.

“You don’t scare easy,” Mitch said finally.
“I save fear for when it’s useful.”
He laughed under his breath. “Dwight wasn’t kidding.”
“About what?”
“You can handle yourself.”

Bobbi’s fingers brushed his arm. “Don’t. He’s not sure what he saw.”
The man looked again, hesitated, then went back to his smoke.

They got out, kept low. The air smelled like rain and diesel. Bobbi moved smooth—no sound, no wasted motion. Mitch followed her lead, staying in her blind spot.

“Four outside,” Bobbi said, scanning. “Maybe two more in the cab.”
“You read that fast.”
“I’ve had practice. See the one with his phone?” she said quietly. “That’s the boss. Watch his feet—he’s nervous.”

When they reached the industrial park, two trucks sat by the dock — black, idling, exhaust curling white into the rain.

“You new in town and Dwight sends you on the fun stuff?” Mitch asked.
“Guess he trusts me.”
“He don’t trust easy.”
“Neither do I,” she said, eyeing the man beside her.

She set her glass down and pulled on her coat, calm as ever.
“You sure?” Mitch asked.
“Yeah.”
They stepped out into the drizzle. The cold bit sharp, breath visible in the air.

“Mitch.”
The younger man leaned in. “Yeah?”
“Dunmire trucks on sixty-one. Supposed to be a light run. Go see if it’s true.”
Mitch glanced toward Bobbi. Dwight followed his look.

No titles. No lanes. Just whoever shows up when it counts.

The two men clinked their glasses lightly, watching her settle into the crew like she’d been there all along.
No titles. No lanes.
Just the work—and the loyalty that holds it together.

“You gonna tell her what we do?” Mitch asked.
“She’ll figure it out,” Dwight replied.
Mitch smirked. “And if she figures it faster than the rest of us?”

“She didn’t come here for quiet,” Dwight said, voice even. “She came here for family. You know what that means.”
Mitch nodded slowly, the understanding between them unspoken.
“Then she’s in.”
“She’s in,” Dwight confirmed.

“She’s in,” Dwight confirmed.
“You gonna tell me where she came from, or we just guess?”
Dwight chuckled under his breath.
“Marine Corps. Then some…agency work. Smart, disciplined, keeps her head down. She’s earned her peace.”
Mitch followed Dwight’s gaze.

Mitch leaned against the bar beside Dwight, arms crossed.
“She’s got presence,” he said finally.

In this town, trust isn’t given. It’s clocked, tested, and earned. One look at her—and they knew she wasn’t just passing through.

Tulsa didn’t welcome outsiders easy.
But for the first time in a long time, she wasn’t one.

That earned a laugh from everyone—including Dwight.
Goodie raised his glass.
“To family.”
Dwight and the crew echoed him—some curious, some cautious—but all in.
Music swelled again, and the hum of conversation returned.

Bobbi’s mouth curved slightly.
“Something like that.”
Dwight arched a brow but didn’t correct her. Grace smirked.
“Thought so.”
Bigfoot rumbled from the end, lifting his beer.
“Long as she pulls her weight, she’s good by me.”

Tyson offered a hand, boyish grin quick to appear.
“Welcome to Tulsa, Ms. Manfredi.”
“Bobbi’s fine,” she said, shaking firmly.
Bodhi and Grace watched the exchange. She was tapping a manicured nail against her glass.

“I’m not passing through,” Bobbi said evenly. “I came to work.”
Mitch’s smile widened, quiet approval. “Good. We could use another steady hand.”

“You never said you had family headin’ this way.”
“Didn’t know till she walked in,” Dwight replied.
Mitch leaned back in his chair, an easy half-smile breaking through.
“Figures. Dwight’s version of a heads-up is a phone call after the fact.”
