of Jesse’s severed head flashed through my mind.  Tears immediately sprung to my eyes and my heart started beating uncontrollably.
    Jameson rubbed his hand up and down my back, trying to calm me, as he took over the situation.  “What night did your brother disappear?” he asked calmly.
    Lola looked him up and down and I watched as her body slowly started to shift and take on a seductive, more relaxed stance.  It was disgusting to watch, but I figured “slutty Lola” was easier to deal with than “mega-bitch-from-hell Lola”.  I hated them both, incidentally. 
    “Friday, June 8 th ,” she purred through her duck lips.  “He told me he was going to Skye’s place to try and win her back.”
    Jameson released me and took a step toward Lola.  Our bodyguard stiffened, but Jameson held up his hand to reassure him.  “Well, Lola, I happened to be at Skye’s house that night and we never saw Jesse.  Maybe he decided not to come by after all.”
    Lola studied him for a few seconds and then lost her smile.  I guess she decided that she wanted answers more than she wanted to sleep with him.  “No.  Jesse went over there; I’m sure of it.  He’d been talking nonstop about Skye’s worthless ass for weeks.  He was determined to make her forgive him.  I tried talking him out of it.  Everyone knows what a stuck up bitch Skye can be, but it was no use; he said he loved her.  Can you believe that crock of shit?”
    My jaw dropped at her audacity.  How dare she call me a worthless, stuck up bitch!  That was so far from the truth that it was actually laughable.  I took a step forward, my fear of her finding out that her brother was dead being overridden by my anger and loathing towards her, but Jameson stopped me.
    Lola glanced back and forth between Jameson and me before she scoffed again.  “Boy, you don’t waste any time, do you Skye?  Does Jesse know you’re fucking him?”
    “Lola, Jesse and I haven’t been together in over three months.  He cheated on me and I broke up with him; not that it’s any of your damn business.  Get off your fucking high-horse.  We all know who the real slut in this group is and it sure as hell isn’t Jameson or me.”
    “You fucking cunt,” Lola screeched as she raised her fist and came at me but Emrick was there in a flash; his hand covering her own, stopping her from hitting me.  “I’m not a fucking slut!  I’ll beat your ass if you EVER call me that again!  You know, you’re not the fucking saint everyone thinks you are, Skye Morrison.  I see the real you.”
    “That’s right, Lola.  I’m the girl with the broken halo.”  I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair as the Escalade pulled up to Drop Kick’s and Killian got out.  I looked around for the first time and noticed that a crowd had gathered to watch the show. 
    I took a deep breath and motioned for Emrick to let go of Lola’s hand. 
    “Behave,” he growled at her and she blanched at the harsh sound of his voice.  He was incredibly intimidating and someone you definitely didn’t want to cross twice.
    Lola adjusted her shirt and stared cold daggers at me; her nostrils flared as she seethed.
    “Lola, I don’t want to fight with you,” I said quietly, painfully aware of the crowd.  “I’m tired of always fighting with you.  We’ve done nothing but fight since we met each other a year ago.  I’m so over it.”
    Lola took a deep breath and looked down at her hands.  When she looked back up at me ten seconds later, there were tears in her eyes.  “Where’s my brother Skye?  I just want him to come home.”  She swallowed thickly as the tears began to fall.  “Something bad happened to him; I can just feel it.  The police haven’t been any help.  When they checked his apartment a few weeks ago, they found a note from him that said he was sick of this city and was moving to New York City.  But, that can’t be true.  Jesse would never just leave without telling
