Chapter 16

Kyle

Kyle stood in the window of his room at the Rockford staring down into the parking lot. He lit a cigarette and smiled when Stan, who had been parked down there for most of the day, finally gave up and drove away.

He let out a long trail of smoke as he walked over and plopped down on the couch. He had a shit morning fighting with Kendra, and he had not gotten to see her since their last argument. He just loved her so much, and if he could just convince her to leave that asshole and take him for all he was worth in the process, then his own problems might go away. He wanted them to live happily ever after together, but she just couldn’t get past what she thought she’d be giving up. And she always had to point out his problems, like she wasn’t the one person who could make him a better man.

He looked down to the coffee table and then cut a line of coke, which he had already laid out since the last one. He put his cigarette down on the edge of the table and then snorted the line up his nostril, wiping the excess away with the back of his hand and then pinching his nose as he closed his eyes. “Fuck,” he said, taking a deep breath.

He raked his fingertips up his thighs and let out a grunt of satisfaction. Then he looked down at his phone as it chirped out a notification. It was dear old Dad texting him to call when he had a chance.

No time like the present. “That was fast,” said the old man when he answered.

“Well, curiosity got the best of me.” He snorted, and his voice was still a bit draggy from the drugs.

“You’re high. I can always tell when you’re doing lines.”

“Just one. I needed something to do in this boring place. Whoever said the Rockford was the place to be lied.”

“It’s a bring your own entertainment establishment. Perhaps you should give up on Kendra and get a woman who isn’t distracted by her husband.”

“Perhaps you should mind your own fucking business. Is that what you wanted? To remind me of my troubles with Kendra?”

“No, I wanted to see if you were still in town. I talked to your dealer, and he let me know all about the debt you owe Spinks. You know I’m done trying to bail you out. I’m going to release some of your money, and I want Spinks paid off with it. If you can’t handle that, I’ll do it myself.”

“I can handle it.” He smiled, knowing that he wasn’t going to give Spinks all of his money. Sure, he’d pay him some of what he owed, maybe nearly all, but he had to line his own pockets too. “I’ll take care of it.”

“Good, you can take care of Stan too. I need him to do a job for me, but since he’s in debt with you, he’s not feeling very generous.
