Bryce

Striding into my mom’s office with some solid information already felt like such a victory. She was on the phone, pacing back and forth in front of the screen cast on the windows behind her, and she was speaking rapid Spanish. Living up to my mom’s legacy was difficult, because on top of being a tech guru, she was also fluent in ten different languages, and had product functioning and bringing in money from fifteen different countries around the world. The software that she was attempting to sell to MasCat had gotten its trial run through the university system in Spain—I could only guess that was what she was dealing with now.

Normally, seeing her handling such high-profile work would intimidate me, and I’d leave and try and catch her at a time when she was doing something less important, but this time was different. After a year and a half knocked down, I finally felt like I was getting back into my groove, and not unlike a little boy running to his mom with a drawing for the fridge, I wanted to tell my mom all about my successes.

“Gracias, Gonzalo. Estaré en contacto. Adiós.” She set her phone down on her desk and lifted a remote, clicked it in the direction of her screen, and it disappeared, leaving nothing but the afternoon sun behind her.

“How’s Spain?” I asked.

She sat down in her chair. “Gonzalo has a friend in France who visited and loved the software in their system. He gave her my information and told her to call me. I could be selling in France soon. Twenty cents additional on every dollar—spreading in Europe is our cash cow, Bryce, I’m telling you.”

“So you don’t care about how things go here in Vegas then?” I joked.

She gave me a half-lidded glare. “Does that mean you’ve failed?”

“Quite the opposite.”

“So you’ve killed Mariana Westun?”

“Well… no. But…” I pulled my phone out of my pocket and set it on top of my mom’s desk. I navigated to an app of her design and opened it up, clicking the link I’d titled “Mariana Westun” and her voice filled the room.

“I can’t believe you took Nique with you!” a voice I recognized as TJ Westun’s, said. “That was so dangerous.”

“No kidding. She’s so goddamn nosy, I’m surprised she didn’t run in there after you.” That time it was Mari’s other brother, Marcos.

“I know, but I needed her car in a pinch and it was the only option I had. I convinced her to stay in the car and listen in from her phone like a walkie-talkie. She got bored after five minutes and hung up anyway, so it’s fine,” Mariana explained. “Anyway, I’ve got him right where I want him, so it’s not a problem.”

I pressed the button again, ending the link, and my mother gave me a rare expression of shock. “You tapped her?”

“She dragged her cousin along to our meeting and had her phone on and connected to a call while we flirted over whiskey sours,” I said, unable to hide how cocky I was after such a roaring success.
