Brick dreaded this, but it had to be done. When Jezebelle started asking questions, they buzzed in his mind until he knew he had to do something about it. His dad would have the answers. He always did, the bastard. Not always in a good way.

His old man had been tolerable when his mother was alive. She had been an excellent referee. He enjoyed visiting his mother, which meant he had to deal with the old man. The day she died of a heart attack no one saw coming—here one day, gone the next—he rid his life of the guy. The last time he had seen his father was the day of his grandma’s funeral three years ago. Before that, his mother’s funeral, which had been five years ago.

It had been difficult dealing with both deaths, but his mother’s was worse than his grandmother’s, only because they had no time to prepare for it.

Corey took it the hardest. His drug use was sign enough. Sure, he had smoked marijuana here and there. So had Brick at one time. But then he turned to the hard stuff—heroin. Brick was positive Corey had shown up to their mother’s funeral high, so consumed with pain he needed to take the edge off.

In the two years between his mother’s death and his grandmother’s death, he had tried to help Corey as much as he could. Besides going into business together with the bar, they were brothers. He wanted to look out for his younger brother as much as he could. Then his grandmother shocked his world. Two months before her death, she said Corey stole from her. And there started their animosity.

He blew out a stringent breath before knocking on the door. His father had retired before Grandma passed away. What his old man did with his spare time, he wasn’t sure, but he figured looking at home was a good place to start. The bar would be the next best place. Brick found it comical his father was disappointed he had invested in opening a bar. He spent the majority of his time in one drinking away the pittance of his life.

Brick could only be thankful his father didn’t choose to do it in his bar. One less irritant to deal with.

The door opened with a creak. A shiver rippled through him. His mind briefly conjured the opening of a horror scene where the idiot macho man was about to enter the haunted house and never come out.

“Well, my son finally visits me. To what do I owe this pleasure?”

Brick forced himself not to back away, but it was a testament in his strength that he didn’t by the foul order emanating off his old man. Stale beer and dirty ashtray. Not a scent he missed. Disheveled clothes, a stained white tank top with a pair of holey black boxers covered his overweight body. Hair sticking out in all directions, telling Brick he had to drag his ass out of bed to answer the door.
