Dan

The assignment Mason as me on is a fucking joke. He asked me to go look in to things because, once again, Rylee’s dad is causing trouble. He would have done it, but he doesn’t want Rylee to stress over her father. He is a piece of shit and did some very wrong things; like sell his daughter for his freedom. Mason found him not long after everything happened, when Rylee was getting back on her feet. He told her father to shape up or he will kill him without a thought in the world. Since then, we haven’t heard a peep about the man, but now he is starting shit again, and here I am running around a shitty ass town three hours from where I want to be. Every lead I get, turns out to be a dry lead. I am starting to get pissed because every minute I am away from home, is a minute Michael can be around Mallory.

I’ve been here for three days, and I haven’t seen Rylee’s father at all. I have searched everywhere he could be hiding, I’ve searched every lead I’ve gotten, and it’s all been for nothing. This morning I called Mason, and told him I was packing up and heading home tonight if nothing comes up with this shit. It’s like I am chasing a fake assignment.

One of the leads put me at a dive bar on the edge of town. Supposedly there is a gambling ring in the basement, and they meet every week. It looks like luck is on my side, the meeting is tonight and her father better be there. I walk into bar and go sit down. I sit there for an hour, taking in everything that I can. I’m learning that the morons sitting next to me are big mouths, and they’ve said the password to get downstairs five or six times already. Taking a sip of my Jack and Coke, and cringing a little because it is now water down, I lean over a little closer and act like I am looking at a menu. They keep mentioning a guy who has been coming in for a few months and they suspect he’s scamming the other players. That definitely sounds like something Rylee’s father would do.

“I hear there is a gambling ring held here. Is there a way I can get in?” I ask nonchalantly.

One of the guys looks me up and down, studying me. “How did you hear about it? Only a select few know about this.”

“I have my ways. Now, how do I get in?”

“You have to be invited by an elite member.” He turns back to the bar, pretty much telling me to fuck off.

“How do I meet one of these elite members?” I move closer to try and intimidate him. His buddy moves a little off his seat.

“Look man, you’re not welcome here. We’re full, so why don’t you see your way out?”

“Why don’t you fuck off and tell
