NICK
“Dad, calm down and tell me what happened.” He was not making sense. He was hysterical talking about mom, was not sure what he was saying, “Just get here Nick, now! We must find your mother,” Find mom? Just what the hell was going on? I went out and rushed to the car telling Given to drive me to my parent’s house,
I was so worried that I could feel the tension gathering on my shoulders. Could mother have gotten worse after getting home? I didn’t know what to think and father was not making it easy for me. I could tell that he was extremely stressed that his sentences made no sense. “Is there something wrong with this car?”
Given gave me a confused look over the mirror. “No sir.”
“Then fucking step on it!” I knew it was wrong taking my anger out on him he had been working for me for many years now. He of all my people should know when something was urgent. Now he was driving like we were going to the mall to do grocery shopping. I could see my father’s car on the driveway when we got there.
I hurried inside. “Dad!”
“In here!” I hurried there but found him alone drinking, I forrowed my eyebrows confused. “Where is mom?” he shrugged and that just got me even more confused. What was he hysterical about then because he was calm now.
‘Why am I here, dad?” he glanced at me then walked past me. “Let’s go get your mother, I put a tracker on that bike of hers for when she did something like this.” Now a frown appeared on my face. Mother had a bike. Why didn’t I know about that?
“I know you must have many questions and yes, your mother has a bike but please, don’t ask your questions now. Ask them after we prevent her from killing my daughter.” I stopped in my tracks at the mention of that evil
woman.
“Nick, not you too. Please son. No matter what she has done, she is still my blood, and I don’t want her dead.” Mom was not a killer. “What makes you think mom would do anything to her and why do you think she is with her.” he came to me then showed me his phone.
A red dot was at the club, Faren’s club. “That is where you mother is right now.” I hated the position father was putting me in. Faren has caused me so much pain, she and Her sister and whoever else she was working with. I would like nothing more than to see the woman dead. Yet, on the other hand my father seemed to have a soft spot
for her.
“Fine, let’s s go. We are taking my car.” He nodded and we left. When we got to the club we went around back and indeed, mother’s bike was there. Father recognized it instantly. I was impressed. That thing was a beast, and it belonged to my mother. I had newfound respect for the woman. She has class, style and good taste.
The bouncers said nothing but opened the door for us. We walked forward to her office. The door was slightly opened when we got there. Father and I shared a look. I then pushed the door opened and the first person I was one of my investors from Summer Strand. I didn’t know he had interests in such businesses.
“Nick! Wow, I didn’t think I will see you.” I walked inside only to look back and find father frozen in place. Eyes wide looking at the man. It was like he saw a ghost. “Dad, this is my business partner, Luke from Summer Strand.”
Father shook his head. “Nick, please take your father and leave. I will be right behind you; Luke and I still have things to discuss.” I raised an eyebrow. Just what the hell was going on? “Mother I. ”
Now Nick! For once, listen to me and do as I say. Take your father and leave.” Mother said with a stern voice, not only that, but she also had this terrified look in her eyes that she was trying to hide. Was there something going on between her and that man. Was she cheating on dad?
I looked back at my father and the man I saw was nothing like the strong man I knew. The man in front of me was almost shaking in fear and frozen in place not moving. I glanced at mom, and she nodded. “Nick, we will talk some other time. Take your father home as your mother says.”
Luke said patting my shoulder, but his eyes were on my father. It was like the two men knew each other and it looked like mother was in the middle of whatever was going on between the men. Without saying another word, I took my dad, and we turned around and walked back out.
He was quiet the whole way back to the car. Even when we sat in the car the man was silent and he looked like he was deep in thoughts. It angered me to see him that way. What did Luke have to do with my family? What relationship did he have with my mother?
“He
“Dad?” silence, Given glanced our way still behind the steering wheel. “Do we take him to the hospital?” he asked, that was a good question, but I did not have an answer. I didn’t know what was wrong with the man. could be having a stroke boss, and we wouldn’t know. I read somewhere that sometimes you don’t notice signs of stroke. That you might think a person is alright while they are having a stroke.”
What Given said scared me half to death. “To the hospital then, hurry.” Given stepped on it as he drove us to the hospital, but my mind was not on him but my mother and Luke. What the hell was going on between them?
I wished I could contact the man and ask him to find out everything he could about Luke. Yes, we did background checks when we started working with him and he came up clean. But then again, he was from Summer Strand, he might have known my mother from there. But from what mother told me about her family.
I got worried that Luke might be an enemy to my mother’s family and that was why mother wanted me to leave with father. But then if he was an enemy that would mean thad been working with the enemy all this time. Oh, lord. Let it not be the truth. noveldrama
