The rest of the night Jen stays in my bedroom. I’m beginning to worry about her; maybe coming here wasn’t a good idea. I lie back on the sofa and close my eyes. I really need to sleep but my mind won’t settle.
I would have loved nothing more than to of punched that man his face. He was cold towards Jen and what did Mel stop him from saying. Something wasn’t quite right with them; there was more than they were letting on.
“What are you still doing up?” Tucker says. I open my eyes and he is standing next to the sofa, holding something in his hand. “Here” he throws it in my direction and it lands on my chest. “You’re in luck. She is actually getting married and gave me the info to get rid of me. “
“Lucky escape then” I laugh sitting up.
“Tell me about it” he grunts, he turns to leave but stops in the doorway. “Look, I don’t know the exact details but if you need my help with anything…” I slowly look up at him, his big goofy face is serious and I just nod in response. “Well, night.”
“Night” I call after him. I pick up the envelope and just stare down at it. I have a feeling that what ever is inside this is bad. I sit up and rip it open. I scan through the paperwork, basic information; her age, height, address.
I dismiss that and turn to her previous offences. Everything seems to be in order. She’s only been arrested once for shop lifting. Then jackpot, it’s an article about the Lopez case and now everything finally makes sense.
