Darwin called and told us he and Aila had found some missing ledger. Riggs told them we would be there as soon as we could. Forrest went home to spend the day with his father, under the guise that he wanted to shadow him for a day and pick his brains, while Riggs and I have been following my father. He is still in town and it’s unlike him to hang around so long.

Most of the day he was locked up in his office, then he went to some high-rise and a quick search led us to it being a side chick’s house. After hours and hours of following him, ready to give up and call it a day, he storms out of a building in the city, appearing pissed off.

“He looks like someone pissed in his Weetbix.” Riggs grins and pulls into traffic a few cars behind my father’s driver.

“Hopefully he takes us somewhere worthwhile. I didn’t realise my father was this fucking boring.”

Riggs laughs and turns on the radio, the music a welcome distraction as we follow him all the way to Cedar Creek. It doesn’t surprise me he would be meeting with someone seedy. The Eights work for all the founding families, but the class of people here, well, their silence can be bought for a price.

My father’s car pulls into a parking lot behind the docks, and Riggs kills the lights and pulls over. We both slip from the car and yank our hoods from our hoodies over our heads as we sneak up closer, careful to not be spotted. Thankfully, the docks are loaded with shipping containers. Voices carry, and we move even closer until we can see my father.

Two figures step out from behind another container.

“Is that . . .” Riggs asks.

“Jennifer? Yep, but who is the other guy?”

Riggs shrugs and pulls out his phone, snapping a few pictures.

“Have you held up your end of the bargain?” the man asks my father.

I can’t place the guy, but he looks like he is from around here. He has drug dealer written all over him. His jeans sit low on his hips and his underwear shows. Of course there’s a white T-shirt tucked into the back, his singlet showing off his prison tattoos.

“Everything is ready for them. The question you need to be asking her is if she is holding up her end of the bargain.”

Jennifer scoffs. “Aila is eating from the palm of my hand, willing to do whatever I ask. The stupid girl just wants a family and now that my pathetic excuse for a husband knows he fathered her, he wants to have her around and get to know her. She will vote our way.”

“Good, because if she doesn’t, she will be thrown into the basement and sold like the rest of them. We won’t need her vote if she is fucking missing.”

Jennifer laughs. “You seem to forget that your son is smitten with her, as are the others. If she goes missing and they find out it’s you, there is no way you will get any of their votes.
