Chapter Fourteen

MY PHONE’S ringing woke me out of a dead sleep. My whole body ached, but at least it was bearable. My leg and hip still hurt, but the pain was down to a mild throb. It was Rush. I answered with a groggy, “Hello?”

“You sound like shit. Rumor has it you’re down for the count, but saved the rock star from being collateral damage.” He was far too awake for this early in the… morning? I frowned at the clock. It was 8:07. Morning or night? I glared at the wall of windows closed with blackout curtains, unable to tell. Ollie was not in bed with me, but I was upstairs and the cat slept in Ollie’s spot beside me.

“I’m still a little out of it,” I admitted. “What do you need? Did you talk to Jacob?”

“I’ve taken his assistant in for questioning.”

“Kisten? Why?”

“We have video of him putting the toy in the car.”

It took a minute for the words to process. “The monkey covered in gore?” But he’d come upstairs all clean and bright-eyed. How had he made a mess of the backseat and come out spotless? Was he wearing some kind of jumper? “Did you see him covered in gore? Has he told you why he’s doing it?”

“He’s lawyered up. Claims it’s not him. Said he put the toy in there, but didn’t mess it up. Said it was a gift from a fan, one he thought Jacob would like. The blood was animal blood by the way.”

At least this guy wasn’t reenacting a Stephen King scene and cutting pieces off people. “So you’ve questioned him?”

Rush sighed. “Like I said, he lawyered up pretty fast. Big-name attorney bought and paid for by the rock star. And we have nothing to hold him on. His alibi for the blown speaker is pretty tight. I’ve got twenty people that account for him most of yesterday morning. Including you, which you’ll have to verify.”

Morning. It had to be eight in the morning. Where was Ollie? “You put a tail on him?”

“As much as we can manage. But he’s gone back to the estate. We’re still sorting through the box of crap you originally called in. Elias doesn’t want to press charges against anyone. He thinks someone is just messing with him. The pictures you forwarded say otherwise.”

I swore. “He’s in the hospital, might even lose part of his hearing….”

“Preaching to the choir, Alme. There’s only so much beating my head against a wall I can do. Last I heard your boy was going to talk some sense into him.”

“Ollie?”

“You have another boyfriend I don’t know about? Yeah, Oliver was just here. I spoke to him not half an hour ago after I stopped trying to convince the rock star he needs to take this shit seriously. What is it with the famous that makes them so stupid?” Rush ranted.

“Ollie’s at the hospital,” I clarified.

“Yep.”

“On my way,” I told Rush and hung up. Only getting out of bed took more effort than it should have.
