“You had your phone with you all along?!”
“Yup,” she says, making her ‘p’ pop.
“Why didn’t you call the police?” I say, outraged. How could she leave us like this for so long?
She scoffs. “Dude, I’m not gonna call the police on my brother.” I can almost hear the ‘duh’.
“The brother that just threatened you…and hit you!”
“It’s just how it is,” she shrugs. “We don’t get the police involved.”
“Maybe if you had involved the police we wouldn’t be here right now.”
“Look, Goody, you involve the cops and it’s gonna go to Bianco. For sure. He’s got too many of them in his pocket. The last thing I want right now is to be on his radar, trust me.” There is real fear in her eyes every time she talks about Mateo Bianco and I can’t begin to imagine what she and Jake have been through when they were with him.
I shake my head as she dials.
“Where are you?” she asks. She pauses while she listens. “Yeah. I know. I know, Jake. My phone was dead.” she sighs and bites her thumb, “I’m at Jamie’s.”
I stop listening as Rose explains that Nathan and Sam were both at my house.
Jake. He saw Nathan last night. That’s why Nathan didn’t want me to get out of the car, he didn’t want me to see that Jake knew him. Well. We all know now.
So, what’s going to happen?
