Jed said. “I can’t believe you’re accusing Kat of murdering her friends. This is ludicrous.”
He started to walk towards the front door. I was shocked that he wouldn’t at least think about the facts that I’d assembled. It painted a pretty clear picture.
“Jed! Where are you going? We need to talk about this!”
He was already out the front door. I tapped my foot nervously as I looked over the scene one more time. Have I missed anything? My reasoning was solid, the facts I had were almost conclusive. Nothing else made sense.
I decided to chase after Jed. At the very least I had to tell Nathan my conclusions and see what he thought. If I could get him over to my side then maybe we could convince Jed. Hell, I was tempted to call it in and get the local constable to arrest Kat as it was.
When I got outside I saw the group of bikers respectfully turned away from the end of the driveway. There, locked in a tight embrace, were Jed and Kat. Tears streamed down her face as he held her.
You’ve got to be kidding me. It took a cold-blooded killer to be able to destroy a man and then feign such deep distress at his death. I can’t believe Jed is falling for this.
I felt sick to my stomach and stepped back into the house before anyone could see me. It’s pretty sad that I feel better in here with a dead body than I do out there witnessing Jed have the wool pulled over his eyes by a calculating bitch.
Nathan hadn’t been in the group of men standing outside. He must have left to go check in with the group at the headquarters.
I sat at the window and looked out at the street. Kat had borrowed a bike from the clubhouse, and as I watched Jed climbed onto it and let her climb onto the back. They motored away into the night.
“Well that’s just great,” I muttered to myself. “An hour ago I thought Jed and I were finally on the mend, and now Tim’s dead and Jed just took Kat away to console her. Fuck!”
I stormed out of the house and past the guards.
“Hey, Leslie, are you going to the headquarters?” I whipped around. It was Zach.
“Oh, hey Zach. Yeah, I’m going to go check in there and make sure everything is fine. Are you staying here and guarding the crime scene?”
He nodded. “Yeah, although my shift’s about to end. Be careful out there, alright?”
“Right back at you. It’s a crazy time right now.”
We looked at each other soberly before I turned away and got into my car.
Crazy fucking night indeed.
DISCOVERY
I steamed as I drove.
“The problem with this fucking town,” I said to myself, “is that it’s too fucking small to work out your anger during a drive!”
It seemed like I had just started driving when I pulled up to the driveway of the clubhouse. It was too dark to make out which bikes were parked in front, and I didn’t really know which one Jed had been driving anyway. I didn’t know whether to hope that him and Kat were there so that I could force some sort of showdown, or hope that they weren’t since I really didn’t feel up to the challenge at the moment.
The alternative was much worse, though. I could only imagine that Jed might be inside Kat at that very moment. It wouldn’t surprise me if they had gone straight to her house or his and he had picked up with her where he had left off with me earlier.
Anger burned in the pit of my belly at the thought.
Fuck this. There was no more sitting in my car paralyzed by inaction.
I stormed into the open garage door. Haunted faces looked back at me. Most of the club members were there, a good dozen or so. Jed and Kat were nowhere to be seen, and neither was Nathan.
The men turned back to their commiserating and remembering Tim. There were several open cases of beer, and most of the bottles were already strewn across the shop, empty. I felt like I should warn them not to get too obliterated in case it came down to a fight, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it.
I thought about telling all and sundry of my suspicion
