Fifteen

Cooper woke the next morning with one goal in mind. His brotherly duty was to hunt down Zach and have a talk with him, man-to-man. He wasn’t sure what he’d do if it spiked up into more than a discussion. He’d never been one to turn to his fists to solve a problem. Yet, he knew going in that he needed to get through to the guy to leave his sister the hell alone.

But he was in for a surprise when he went out to get into his car and saw Caleb sitting in the courtyard, waiting for him.

“What are you doing out here? Why didn’t you come in? You want some coffee?”

“No. I’m too upset. Right now I’m trying to keep from getting in my car and going over to Dennison’s house and beating him to a pulp.”

Ah, the difference in brothers, Cooper mused. “I’m on my way there now. Has something happened I should know about first?”

“You’re not going without me. Drea didn’t tell you?”

“Tell me what? She was here last night.”

“That bastard sat outside her door again causing a scene for hours and refused to leave.”

“Did she call Brent?”

“I asked her that very thing and her response was so typical. She didn’t want to get Zach in trouble with the cops. And she didn’t want to call either one of us because she knew what we’d do to him.”

“That’s nuts. What’s wrong with this guy anyway? I don’t really know him all that well. Do you?”

“He’s had some anger issues before but I can’t figure the guy out. When a person breaks off a relationship and you refuse to take the message, it borders on stalking.”

“We’re on the same page there. Let me handle it, okay? If we both show up it won’t be one-on-one anymore but two against one.”

“Who cares about having him outnumbered? Not me. I’m going with you and that’s final. I want to beat him into the next county.”

“Nice, Caleb, real grownup. Is he still at Drea’s?”

“No, he left to go get ready for work and that’s when she called me. She said she called you first but there was no answer. At least she thinks Zach went home. Who the hell knows?”

“I must’ve been in the shower when she called. We’ll start at his house. If he’s not there then we’ll work our way to the boatyard.”

But when they pulled up in front of the house where Zach had grown up, his truck was still parked in the driveway. After they had knocked on the door for almost five minutes, Zach finally appeared wearing a bathrobe. He looked disheveled and confused. His eyes seemed glassy from staying up all night.

To Cooper, it looked as though the man had gone off the deep end some time ago and they were about six months too late.

Instead of the confrontational speech Cooper had been prepared to deliver, he took one look at Zach and decided another strategy might be the way to go. “Is there
