All I can do is grunt.
Debbie continues ranting. “If they ever caught him fucking her, they wouldn’t just kill him. Someone like The Basher would start by removing his nuts while Rooney squealed and go from there.”
“Thanks for the imagery.”
“Why would he even try with her?”
Her question sends rage through my blood. It’s a good point, one I haven’t considered before. Between The Basher and Rooney’s advances on her, Jason and Malcolm’s odd behavior, and what I know behind the scenes but will never tell Debbie, the ground beneath my feet is shifting fast.
Like a new fault line is emerging.
“Because he has a cock.”
“For the record, you said it. Not me.”
“I have never claimed that men are anything but depraved creatures in search of warm holes.” My coffee has cooled down enough to take a sip without destroying my taste buds.
“Again, you said it, not me.”
“But you agree.”
“Hell yes. What’s the end game here? You’re rejecting witness protection. You’re not planning to actually deliver her to that auction, are you?”
“They’ll hunt her down no matter what.”
“That’s not a no.”
“No, Debbie, I don’t plan to deliver her to the auction. But the masters want their money. They’ve got a multi-billion-dollar business going, and as you’ve pointed out repeatedly, I’m holding some of their product outside the warehouse.”
“Stolen goods,” she hisses into the phone.
“I’m sure there’s no insurance policy that covers this.”
“Then what? What are you going to do? You think you can just keep hiding and live out some happily-ever-after fantasy with Paigelynn?”
“That’s not what this is about.”
“You’re a man, Cam. You just told me you’re all depraved creatures in search of warm holes.”
I hold back from telling her I found one. We’re in it, two hundred feet underground, and it has excellent espresso in it.
“I didn’t steal her so I can fuck her. I rescued her so I can save her.”
“Save her for what?”
“So she gets to have an actual life. Control over her own body. Autonomy. You know, the shit everyone except Viking Virgins takes for granted.”
“How entrenched is she in her beliefs?”
“She tried to turn to fucking Makiah Rooney to save her from me, Debbie. How deeply brainwashed do you think she is?”
“You start telling her any truths yet?”
“Yeah. A lot.”
“Don’t overwhelm her.”
“I’m trying. I’m no expert, though.”
