Chapter 4
She hated lying to Damon, but it had to be done this way. She had to tell him Jack was coming too or else he wouldn't have seen her. Lynn played with the phone in her hands before dialing the number.
"Hey Mom, early for you today isn't it "her son asked, ten years old and as sharp as a tack.
"Yeah baby it is, but I wanted to tell you that I'm going to visit Uncle Gabe and Damon for a few days" she heard a puck hit the wall.
"Okay, tell them I said hi" he replied.
"Baby, I won't be able to come to the game Saturday though "
" Mom, its okay ,Dad will be here to watch my back ,besides ,from what I read on the Mustangs message board, uncle Damon needs you. The latest was he had massive bruises on his wrists and he beat a guy up in a bar, plus his drug problem"
Her eyes widened as she listened to her son tales "Jack!" she stopped him "Damon, is a good man, not everything you read about him is true" she heard him chuckle "sure mom, listen I have to go Razor is teaching us one of his secret moves. I'll call you later. I love you"
"Bye sweetheart" Lynn hung up her phone and walked over to her bed. It was already 2pm, it would take 3 hours to get to Toronto, then find her hotel and call Gabe. she looked under her bed and pulled out Troy's duffel bag, she was only planning on staying for a few days, so the duffel bag would half to do.
Sensible is what she told herself as she looked for clothes to wear, then she pulled it out #51 Kingston her jersey. She folded it gently and placed it in the bag, threw a few pairs of jeans , underwear, nightgown, socks , a few tops , her cocktail dress with shoes.
After she was all packed, house locked up, car started. Her cell phone range, she didn't recognize the number and threw it back into her purse. Pressed play on her MP3 player put the car in drive and stepped on the gas.

Damon, listened to her message, then left his own "Lynn, its Damon, listen we have a game tomorrow. I'll leave tickets for you and Jack. Maybe we can go to dinner or something. Give me a call when you get in town bye"

It only took her two hours and forty five minutes to get to the hotel she was staying at. Lynn gazed at the hotel wondering if maybe she had made a huge mistake, like the same one she made the night Troy
died. Okay so maybe not a mistake just a foolish decision. She laughed once inside her room. There on the coffee table was an envelope marked "To our Favorite Mustang wife Mrs. Troy Kingston" she picked it up and looked inside. There were two tickets for tonight's game. They must have come from Gabe; he was the only one who knew where she was staying. She heard her cell phone chirp one new message. She sighed thinking it was from Jack and was going to listen to it later. She had to call Gabe to thank him for the tickets.
"Hello?"
"Gabe," Lynn asked
"This is …."
"Hey are you already in town?"
Yes, um I wanted to thank you for the tickets and I knew you had to get ready for the game…."
Gabe cut her off "What! Wait I didn't leave you any tickets. Maybe Megan did I told her you were coming. Listen I have to go but I'll see you at the game."
Confused by his statement she stammered a goodbye and hung up. She looked at her phone and decided to listen to the message that was left earlier.
"Lynn, its Damon…" that was all she needed to hear it had to of been Damon that sent the tickets. Her fingers trembled as she put down the phone.
Yep that is how I'm leaving it.
