Chapter Eleven
Muriel and I attend three classes this morning. Iâm unsure what to do, just be a good girl and follow all the instructions, orâ¦I send Traci a text message and apologize for missing the meeting. She texts me back right away, saying itâs fine, and she doesnât mind if I leave earlyâCarter already talked to her. I stare at the letters, the professorâs voice vanishing into the background. Doors opening for me, all the time, just like this, it makes me uneasy. Iâm well aware that the world in general isnât fair, and hard work doesnât always lead to rewards, but this is not something I can let go of easily.
The feeling intensifies after we meet with Carterâs siblings where Muriel stays at a respectful distance, choosing a table with a guy who quickly introduces himself as Dev. Iâve never seen him before, but I assume heâs part of the security staff.
Why did I need to be here for this uncomfortable conversation? I thought everything that needed to be said had been discussed yesterday.
âSee, this is whatâs making this so hard to understand,â Jimmy says. âYou have everything. You have a wife now, I donât know, maybe you even want a family someday.â
Now this is interesting. Carterâs expression is unreadable as she waits for him to continue.
âDo you really still feel the need to go toe to toe with drug dealers and pimps? How about letting it go, and we all wouldnât need those extra bodyguards. Penny?â
âItâs because of this sort of lowlife that I almost lost Penelope and a good friend of mine,â Carter interjects, making a point of using my full name. Sometimes itâs reverent and sexy. At this moment, itâs only to put her brother in his place. âLook, Iâm not even asking you to pay for any of it.â
âThatâs not the point. I can pay for my own security.â
Susan is silent.
âI donât understand what the problem is,â I admit. âCarter has helped these womenâ¦â
âIllegally more often than not.â
âBecause she could! How many people just do nothing, or turn away when they are faced with an opportunity to help? I canât believe youâre mad because of the inconvenience that comes with a few extra security guards.â
He shakes his head. âIâm highly inconvenienced by the fact that someone might try to go after my family because my sister has to play the hero. Itâs not your job, Carter.â
âIt has to be someoneâs job,â she says darkly. âThis is getting nowhere. Why donât you go home and let me worry about these things? Weâll get the guy who took Colette, and weâll hand him over to the authorities, again. Heâll have some more names to share, and it will all be over. I thought we had settled this.â
Jimmy tosses his napkin onto the table.
âIâm beginning to understand why Mom avoided talking to you all those years. The idea you could be wrong on something never once enters your mind, does it?â
âThatâs enough. Enjoy your stay in town, but donât bother me.
