The video we discovered of the whole ordeal looked real, made me sick, even. But she bounced back pretty damn fast. She and Mark are like sweet little honeymooners now. She’s not even going to a therapist after all that? Weird.
But this is Ellie. She is sweet and sheltered and forgiving. And stoic, too. But why doesn’t she talk to me, at least? When I have sniffed around, even pushed her to remember details, she doesn’t open up. Not like she used to.
She’s not the real player though, I have to remind myself. Neither is the senator. He’s just a pawn on the board. But why use him, why now when we are in a time of peace?
Why, why, why…
I close my eyes and increase my pace.
I don’t know why.
But I know I can figure it out.
I know I will figure it out.
And God help whoever messed with my family and my business and my plans.
Because they are fucking dead.
