Chapter Twenty-One

Brad

I barely managed to sleep at all last night. When Ky and I arrived at the Wellesley Police Station, they refused to let me see my mother. I flipped out, and they almost locked me up too. James and Ky managed to calm me down. All it took was mentioning my sisters for me to sober up. Kaitlyn and Emma need me so I came back here last night and stayed with them. Dan is working on getting me in to see Mom today. I’ve been sick with worry all night.

“When’s Mommy coming home?” Emma asks, as I place a plate heaped with pancakes in the middle of the kitchen table.

“I don’t know that yet, Pumpkin, but I’m going to do everything I can to bring her home as quickly as possible.”

“I can’t believe she’s still defending that asshole,” Kaitlyn seethes, attacking her pancakes as if they’d done her some personal injustice.

“Watch your language, and this is not the type of conversation we should be having at the breakfast table.” I subtly nod in our younger sister’s direction.

“I know what an asshole is, Brad, and I know she’s talking about Dad,” Emma says very matter-of-factly, cutting her pancakes into four even-sized pieces.

“I don’t want to hear that word coming out of your mouth again, and the situation with Dad is complicated.”

“Is he going to go to jail? Because Kaitlyn said they were going to lock him up and throw away the key.”

I shut my eyes and pray for patience. “We don’t know what’s going to happen to Dad.”

Emma pauses mid-bite, looking thoughtful. Swallowing down her food, she looks up at me with so much trust in her eyes. “Daddy told me he made a terrible mistake, and he hurt lots of people who didn’t deserve to be hurt.” I nod, surprised he was so forthcoming with her and that he feels anything even close to remorse. That’s not how I remember our last conversation. He was hell-bent on avoiding jailtime, on evading punishment of any sort. There was an arrogance in the way he spoke about being caught, like he was now part of some infamous gang of fraudsters. His attitude had sickened me to my stomach, and we fought bitterly. If I hadn’t pretty much washed my hands of him then, I have now. Letting Mom and the girls go by themselves, knowing what they were most likely walking back into, is unforgivable in my book.

“He stole millions from people who trusted him, and he deserves to rot in prison,” Kaitlyn unhelpfully interjects.

“For God’s sake, Kaitlyn, can you keep your mouth shut unless you have something constructive to add. Emma doesn’t need to hear this.”

“You can’t shield her, Brad. She stopped being an innocent the day Dad took us out of the country.”

I hate that Kaitlyn’s probably right, and it’s something else to hate Dad for. “You may be right, but it doesn’t mean I can’t try.”
