down on
the couch, and opens the box allowing me to select one.
“How are you?” He asks?
“I’m great. The first night was a
little rough, but now things are pretty decent Dean and I talked and I think I
know where we stand so that helps. How are things with your dad? Is he in
jail?”
Adam looks at me and frowns “Dean
didn’t tell you anything that happened?”
I shake my head. “We didn’t really
have time.”
“Red is dead. Dean killed him.”
“Oh.”
“Do you have to arrest him for
murder now?”
Adam laughs, but it’s not humorous
“No Olivia, I was there when it happened. The fire happened so quickly that it
changed things. Remember when I told you that I needed information on a human
trafficking case? That that information was what I was waiting on to lock Red
up? Well, Dean needed his own information. His mother. Matthew gave Red his
mother 6 years ago. That was the first time I met Dean. We have been working
together to try and bring Red down. That same day, Red sold my mother. My
father sold both women to killers. Black Market organ donors. They are both
dead.”
“So Dean killed him?”
“He did. Before I could. My father
promised me that if I came to work for him, he would tell me where she was. For
years he promised me that she was safe. Part of me knew he was lying, which is
why I joined the FBI. I can work quietly with them on bringing my dad down. But
not alert my father as to what is happening in the slight chance that she was
alive. The problem is, he knew where the women were going and he knew what was
going to happen.”
“Wow.” I manage. Poor Dean
“I wonder why Dean never told me.”
“I’m not sure, but now that he
knows where his son was sold, he will go and find him and bring him back to
Stella.”
What?
“Dean has a son?” I ask. I can feel
the donut churning in my stomach
“Yeah, he married Stella when she
got pregnant. I thought you knew all of this?”
“No.” I whisper “I didn’t know he
had a son. So he’s gone to look for his son?”
“He is. He paid for the room for
you, for however long you want to stay. He doesn’t know when he will be back,
he could be gone a few weeks or he could be gone much, much longer. He left
money for you too. I have all the bank account information here for you.”
He pulls an envelope out of his
pocket and hands it to me. It’s thick, like it contains much more than bank
information.
Dean. He has a son. He has a son
with Stella. He told me he loved me. He lied. He told me that Stella meant
nothing to him. How could having a child with her be possible, but with me it’s
some conspiracy?
And his leaving me here?
I could understand him going to
find his child, but it’s the fact he never told me he had a child to begin
with.
I’m angry.
Maybe I am jealous.
I feel sick.
I race to the bathroom just in
time. Dry heaves rack through my body. Too much stress.
I brush my teeth and splash cool
water on my face before I walk back out and see Adam sitting on the couch in
the same position.
“Can you take me home?”
He waits a few moments before he
replies; “sure.”
I don’t really have anything to
pack. I grab my IPod and that’s it. I don’t have a purse and I don’t want
anything that Dean bought for me.
He didn’t even say goodbye.
Chapter 18
The ride back is fairly quiet. Adam
stops often to ask me how I am doing, to buy me drinks. Makes sure I’m not
going to throw up.
He’s caring. Which I really
appreciate. His job was over the moment that Red died, but he still took the
time to come and check on me. He is still taking me back home.
He asks if we can be friends. I
agree. I need all the friends I can get. My life needs people I can trust. Adam
is that.
He tells me that Jaxon knows I was
kidnapped but he doesn’t know that Dean had anything to do with it. I probably
won’t ever share that bit of information with him.
We pull up to the townhouse. It
looks exactly the same as it did
the couch, and opens the box allowing me to select one.
