So, the next day, Ari and I ended up driving up to Del Mar to Carl’s mansion. Just like Regina had said, the place was gorgeous. It was a modernist home, all glass and steel and cubes, and looked like the home of a Hollywood star. There was not anybody at the gate, no guy with the gun like when Regina first went there. I simply spoke into the intercom, and explained who I was, and they buzzed me on through.

I drove up the long drive to the front door, and Ari and I got out the car and went up to the enormous wooden door and rang the bell. A guy answered the door.

“Hello, my name is Jurgen. I’m Carl’s son. You must be Avery.” He looked over at Ari. “You can’t be here. I know who you are and what you’re doing, and you can’t be here.”

We were prepared for this. “On the contrary, I am going to be here,” Ari said. “And who’s gonna stop me? I happen to know that Carl does not have a goon who is going to stop me from being in here, and we need to talk to your dad today. We need to tell him what’s going to happen. We need to talk to him about what his next step is going to be. Now, you need to let us in the door, because we both need to talk to him.”

Jurgen looked at me and shook his head. “You lied to me over the phone. I should’ve known. But come on back, I have a feeling that there is not a whole lot that we’re going to b able to do to avoid the coming storm. My father was not able to find backup enforcement, so I’ll be honest, he’s screwed. I mean, I didn’t know he was screwed until just now, but I have a feeling I know the reason why you guys are here.”

I could see in the guy’s eyes that he wished that he could kill both of us right there. But he also knew that would be pointless. He had to have known that Ari’s story was already going to run, and if Ari turned up dead, the first person that anybody would be looking at would be Carl himself.

He led us down the hall, out onto an enormous deck that was facing a cliff. I could see distant ships on the water. Sitting in a chair, in front of a long glass table, was a man who was about 55. He was in decent shape, extremely handsome, with dimples and blue eyes. However, even though he smiled at me when I walked out to meet him, I could tell in those blue eyes that he was very troubled. He took one look at Ari next to me, and his face fell.

“You!” He said, pointing right at Ari. “I trusted you. I let you in here, I let you have free rein of anything that you wanted. You drank my alcohol, you ate my food, you had fun at all my parties.
