Jared replied, the pride in his response becoming his death sentence, “It’s a combination of ecstasy and GHB. Tucker volunteered little Bree to test the formula, and boy, did we take her for a spin. She handled the three of us like a true Flats whore.”
“And she doesn’t know?” I asked.
“I haven’t heard a word from her since that night, so I have no idea what she remembers, but I’ll tell you, none of them have remembered so far,” Tucker replied and leaned back, seemingly proud of his ability to take away a woman’s choice and ability to fight.
“Three of you? Damn. Who got invited to the party?” I asked, smirking on the outside and seething on the inside.
“I gave Wesley his turn. He always wanted a piece of her ass, so I gave him one. Damn, I haven’t thought about her in years. I wonder what she’s up to, how many kids she’s popped out in her little trailer.”
“She lives in a trailer now?” I asked, keeping up the ruse.
He shrugged and explained, “Fuck if I know. I only spent time with her because she was so desperate for the smallest amount of attention, she would suck me off just to say thank you for dinner. Bitch made it easy to shake her from my dick by leaving on her own. She may not have been the prettiest, but she knew when her time with me was up.”
The three of us laughed, and my mother stuck her head out the door, bringing the worst conversation of my life to a close, thankfully. She gave me a look and turned back inside.
“I guess Mommy Dearest doesn’t like me smoking on the patio,” I chuckled, and we walked back inside.
“Man, it was good to get to talk to you. I need to come visit your bar when I’m home for Christmas. Maybe come hang out at the cabin and you can introduce me to your dick warmer. We can take her for a spin together.”
Jared walked over to Wesley and his sister after a pat on my back, and I turned to Tucker, knowing he would be dead before Christmas. “Sure. That sounds like a good time.”
He smiled at me, and I whispered, “I’m going to tell Agnes I’m leaving. It’s time I get on the road so I don’t keep the cum-whore waiting.”
“Gag her once for me,” he joked and disappeared into the crowd.
After I found my mother and made a public goodbye in front of her friends, I quickly got on the road to Pierce Bluff. The sun was going down and I dialed Skid’s number on my hands-free and pressed the gas harder, wanting to get as far away from those sick fucks as possible.
“How did it go?” he asked in place of a hello.
“I’ve got it all. I know who, how, and why. Fuck, man. Tell me we’re going to make this right. Tell me I get my chance with them. That Aubrey gets her justice.”
“Damn, man. I didn’t know if it would work. I’m sorry you had to go through that. Come home and meet me at the condo office. I’ll let James and Devlin know and we can start working on a plan.”
“I’ll be there in two hours.”
Hanging up, I wanted to call Aubrey and hear her angelic voice, but I knew she would detect the anger and sickness in my voice and would want to know why I was so upset. Not needing to lie any more to her than I already have, I drove into Pierce Bluff and directly to Devlin and James’s building.
As I pulled in, a text from Aubrey wishing me a good night and safe travels chimed. I opened the app and watched as she turned off her lamp light and tucked herself into the down comforter. I watched her for at least five minutes before I closed the app and entered the building to Callahan Cyber Securities.
Whatever we were about to plan was going to change the man I was deep down inside. I just hoped whoever I was when it was all over was someone Aubrey still saw as worthy of her love.
