When we arrived at Natchitoches Regional Medical Center, my nerves were everywhere. Shy did his best to keep me calm on the ride over. He ended up telling me the horrible truth. He’d thought that I was unknowingly sleeping with my blood brother. Since he didn’t know I was adopted, that was an easy assumption. Had that been the case, I didn’t know what I would have done. Just knowing that the same people that gave him away like he was nothing, did a wonderful job raising me, almost made me feel sympathetic toward him. I couldn’t understand it.

As we circled, looking for somewhere to park, Shy’s phone rang. This time, he answered on Bluetooth. I suppose there were no secrets now. “Hello?”

“Yo, you got me on speaker?”

“Yeah. She knows already, man. Apparently, Lamar told her parents. You still tailing him? I meant to ask you that earlier.”

“Naw. He took a road trip. That was what I was calling back to tell you, because I meant to say it earlier. He left about ten this morning.”

I frowned as I watched Shy do the same. “What direction did he go?”

“Don’t worry, I’m tracking him. He’s in Natchitoches. I’m assuming he went to confront their parents.”

“Shit! Their father is in the hospital. You think he might have attacked him?”

“I don’t know. It’s just a tracker… no video footage.”

“A’ight, man. We’re out here too. I’ll let you know when we leave.”

“Damn. A’ight.”

My nerves only got worse as I listened to their conversation. The only reason Dad could be bleeding as much as my mom made it seem would be if he suffered from some sort of trauma. If Lamar would kill me, surely, he would try to kill them. Suddenly, I didn’t know why I even came out here. We should have stayed in Beaumont at Shy’s place. What if Lamar was waiting for me to arrive? What if this was a tactic to get me here?

I nearly jumped out of my skin when Shy touched me. He quickly lifted his hand in a surrendering motion. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. You ready?”

I looked around and realized he’d already parked. My mind was completely gone. Just hearing that Lamar could possibly be responsible for whatever was going on with my dad had me feeling jumpy as hell. I swallowed hard and nodded. He got out of the car and walked around to my side and opened my door.

“Stay close to me, baby.”

He didn’t have to tell me twice. Our shadows were one at this point. Knowing that Lamar was wanting to kill me, I wondered why he hadn’t done it already. We’d lived together for a year. He had plenty opportunities to take me right on out of here. It made me think my mother was trying to sway me into thinking Lamar was the bad guy. This entire thing was confusing as hell, and I just wanted to get to the bottom of it. She could be lying about Lamar wanting to kill me.
