THE JOURNEY

CHAPTER 27: GETTING SOMEWHERE

"Randy man, the girls told us what happened." John started as he and Paul entered their friend's house.

"Yea, we're really sorry man." Paul added as they took their seats in the recliners by Randy.

"I should've just stayed away from her." Randy solemnly responded. "She wasn't worth it."

"Randy…you've been best friends since sixth grade. You can't possibly mean that." Paul tried to get through to him.

"No…I mean it." Randy replied, taking a swig of beer. "She tricked me into thinking that I had a son…tricked me into loving him and loving her."

"Come on man, that kid is yours." John grabbed the beer out of his hand and poured the remains down the sink.

"No, he's not. He's Adam's. Tests don't lie."

"Look at that kid Randy!" Paul's voice was beginning to rise. "He doesn't look a damn thing like Adam. He has brown hair and blue eyes! Just like you!"

"The DNA test proved that I wasn't his father…I have no idea where he got his features from." Randy calmly stated.

"From you!" John sighed. This was getting ridiculous! "Look, the girls think Adam switched the tests."

"Why would he do that?"

"Because he's in love with Trish, man." Paul said.

"What? That's insane."

"Look Randy, when you left for Ohio, a lot of guys assumed Trish was free." John explained. "Adam kept bugging her to date him but she kept turning him down and…well he got fed up with her one night and…"

"And what?"

"He tried to kidnap her, but luckily Paul and Steph had just gotten home."

"He's infatuated with her, man." Paul told him.

"Why didn't you guys ever tell me this?"

"Well when you got back Trish was gone. Everyone was so focused on finding her I guess it just didn't seem important at the time."

"I can almost bet you one of the reasons she left was to get away from him." John said.

"So tell me more about Steph and Tor's theory." Randy asked. Now they were getting somewhere.
