CHAPTER ELEVEN

PARKER

Do you even know what you’re asking of her? Of yourself? Not really. But it just feels right. She feels right. “Let’s get out of the women’s bathroom,” I say pulling on her arm. We exit and I look around. Of course, everyone is watching us. They watched me shove her into the restroom; they were probably timing us to see just how much we could accomplished.

“Son?” I come to a stop at the sound of his voice. The voice that I have come to hate so much. The voice that makes my skin want to crawl. My father.

I spin around and see him standing there staring at Katherine. Like a fucking sick old man watching his next victim. It sickens and angers me.

“What do you want, Dick?”

Katherine’s eyes widen, but she makes no remark on my choice of words.

My father laughs it off, but I know how he feels about my choice of name for him. He hates it. Almost as much as I hate him.

“Who’s your friend, son?” He looks down at her.

“Mr. Mayor.” She smiles politely. “Katherine,” she says reaching out her hand to him. I reach out and grab it before he can shake it.

He drops his as well, placing them in the pockets of his dress pants. “You’re mother has been calling you.” He looks at me. “Been trying for weeks.”

“I’ve been busy.”

“I can see that.” He looks back at Katherine and I feel her body stiffen. Even she can sense the way he’s looking at her. As if she’s prey. “Well, I will let her know that you’ll be attending my party for my re-election soon.”

“I can’t…”

“Katherine. I’m sure my wife would love to meet you as well.”

She goes to respond, but I tighten my hand around hers and she closes her mouth.

“Don’t be late. Seven o’clock on Saturday. I’ll send a car.” And with that, he turns around and walks away. I yank on her hand and pull her out the front door.

“Are you going to explain that to me?” she asks. “Your father is the mayor,” she says surprised as if she just realized that I was his son. It makes sense; everyone knows who my dad is, and not everyone knows the cop son.

“I hate my dad. What’s there to explain?”

“And your mother?”

“My mother is a different story.” I love her, but I don’t understand what she sees in that horrible man. I don’t see how she can love someone so much who loves her so little.

“What is that story?” she asks pulling me to a stop.

“What can I say about her? She fell for a bastard, and she chooses to stay with him. If she wants to make stupid life decisions, then that’s none of my business.”

“Yet, you took it upon yourself to make my life your business?”

“Well, yeah. Your stupid life decisions bother me,” I say through gritted teeth. After I had left the hospital last night, I went to the police station and pulled up Rollin’s information. I called up an old buddy and gave him Rollin’s address.
