Hey guys! This is a very short chapter b/c of my lack of time.
...finer details... **
"What? No!" Mort said as if someone was asking if 10 came before 1, "Whose side are you on anyway?"
"Yours," Ken assured him, "I just need to know if this is another crazy person, which I can help you. Or is this something you should be contacting your lawyer about?"
"I didn't steal it ok?" Mort repeated, "Can you help me or what?"
Ken quickly ran through his schedule, "I have to be back for this thing on Friday, but I can give you a few days."
"Usual rate?" Mort asked with a sarcastic smile. Ken just push the button on his clock. "Ok so anyway..." Mort began with his story in more detail this time. He ended at the part where Shooter wanted to see the magazine. "I have a copy of it up at Amy's house," Mort explained.
"Amy's house?" Ken gave him a questioning look.
"Yeah. We split up about 6 months ago," Mort said starring at the ground.
"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that," replied Ken "What did you do? Nail one of your groupies at a Barns and Noble signing?" he said laughing. Mort sat up and pushed the other button on the clock, making it stop. Then he sat back looking pissed off. Lyddie had an offended look on her face with her mouth wide open. "I'm sorry. That was a mean thing to say," Ken said and then pushed the button for the clock to start again.
"I want you to be with me when I show him the story," Mort said.
"That's right I'm gonna be with you when you show him the magazine!" Ken replied as if he was saying duh, "Listen, there will be a black car in your driveway when you get home tonight. Don't freak out it's just me checking things out. Go home and get some sleep. You don't look too hot."
Mort smiled and got up and left. Lyddie gave Ken another harsh look for his earlier remark before exiting the room.
One Hour Later
Mort drove up to the house. He parked a little in front of it so he could see it through his mirror. He saw Amy coming out of the house to meet Ted. Lyddie had a hurt look on her face as she first looked at Mort and then at her mom and Ted. Mort and Lyddie sat in silence, before Mort decided to drive away.
Two Hours Later At Mort's House
It was dark. Mort pulled into the driveway of his home. He saw the black car sitting in his usual parking spot—with Ken in it. Only Ken's head was laying against the steering wheel. Did Shooter get to him first?
