Fuck a favor for a price.
I want more than that. Even though I know I shouldn’t.
I’m just babysitting this chick.
I’m only supposed to find out where her father is.
And I’m also supposed to smooth over what I did earlier today so she doesn’t run to the cops.
But finding out about her?
Figuring out what makes her tick?
That is so far beyond the issues I’m supposed to handle.
The problem is, I can’t help myself. Not with her. And not right now. I want to know.
What’s fucked up is that I want to know so badly that I’m scared for once in my life.
Scared I’m making a mistake.
Scared I’ll probably end up hurting her.
And scared that I’m somehow taking the first fucking step into something I’ve sworn off for as long as I can remember.

He’s up to something. And this entire charade is simply a game to knock me off guard.
It makes no sense that Jackass cares about my issues or who I am.
They want something.
It’s that simple.
But a game is a game, so I’ll play along for now.
In the end, I may gather more information about them than Shane can ever pull from me.
“Okay,” I agree, hoping like hell the tremor that’s still in my voice from the events of the day isn’t easily heard. “Detail for detail. You go first.”
Shane nods his head then catches his bottom lip between his teeth. He’s thinking a little too hard, and I turn back to the lake, refusing to watch the act he’s putting on.
“We’re looking for your father.”
Pausing, he waits for a response. When I don’t give him one, he prods further.
“And we’re hoping you can tell us where to find him.”
A bark of quiet laughter shakes my shoulders.
“Even if I had that information, I wouldn’t give it to you. I know what your fathers did to Luca’s dad.”
Shane is a little too silent. I glance over my shoulder at him.
Flashing him a sardonic grin, I ask, “What’s wrong? Was that something you didn’t expect me to know?”
Guilt flickers through his expression, there and then gone again. It was so quick a change that I’m impressed at his ability to wipe it away so quickly.
