Chapter 5 - Trinity

The next day, I went back to class.

I didn’t want my grade docked for missing too many—though it was nearly useless for me to be there, since I wasn’t paying attention to a single thing the professor said.

All I thought about was Angela. Drake’s story. Marco. How could I talk to him? I sure as hell couldn’t go straight up to him. I wouldn’t want to be alone with him, for one thing.

For another, I doubted he would tell me the truth. Just like with Drake, Tyler was against the idea of going straight to him for the truth.

Why would Marco up and confess? He owed me nothing.

I didn’t have any connections to him, either. Unlike Drake, Marco and Tyler weren’t exactly close. They hated each other. I didn’t have a way to get to him, and I wasn’t about to do any digging on my own.

My Nancy Drew days were over. No more parties for me.

I had no leverage over him, which was the bleakest realization of all. In Drake’s case, it was jail. I could call my dad, and that would be it.

Was Dad after Marco’s crew? I didn’t even know. I could ask, but that would mean talking to him in the first place.

We still hadn’t done much of that ever since the debacle with Tyler in the kitchen. It would also tell him I’d been digging around and maybe uncovered something dangerous.

He might rush ahead like a bull in a china shop and ruin any progress I’d made.

Once Marco found out the cops were wise to him that would be it. He might run the way Drake did—and we wouldn’t have a connection to tell us where he’d run to.

No matter how hard I thought it over, it didn’t seem as though there was any way out. I could have thrown my books across the room, buried my head in my arms and wept in front of the whole class.

I was very tired and very hurt. And I was really tired of hurting.

Class finally came to an end, and Maggie made a beeline to me.

“What’s up with you? You looked like a zombie throughout the entire class. I didn’t see you take a single note. What happened while you were away?”

We walked out of the building together and sat at a table outside. I filled her in on everything, choking back tears as I recounted Drake’s story about the five thousand dollars.

Maggie covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes filling with tears just as mine had.

“I can’t believe it,” she whispered, wiping her eyes. “Poor Angela. That pig! How could he do something like that?”

I shrugged. No matter how many times I told the story or turned it around in my head, it never got any easier to swallow.

“So wait. Marco. We’re talking about the same Marco who just raced Tyler a few days ago?”

I nodded. Maggie’s face crumpled in a look that would have been funny had we been talking about anything else.
