Chapter Twenty-Four

Alek decided it would be best to let Roman know about Trish’s run-in with Phoebe before they ordered dinner. Knowing his brother, he was going to be annoyed that Alek had waited this long to call him.

“Hello?” Roman answered hesitantly.

Alek smiled because his brother’s ineptness with technology never failed to amuse him. Roman had only recently learned how to accept calls on his smart phone, and sometimes it took more than one try to get it right.

“It’s me,” Alek said by way of greeting.

“What is it, Alek? Is everything going well with Trish? I’m still not sure I like you staying with the girl, but Lydia told me to mind my own business.”

Roman’s wife was not afraid to speak her mind. She was also the most likely of Trish’s friends to support his interest. Whether Lydia supported it as a fling or something more, he didn’t know, but at least she wasn’t insisting he leave Trish alone, and that meant Roman wasn’t insisting he leave Trish alone.

“I’m calling because Phoebe approached Trish at the mall earlier today,” Alek told him, feeling somewhat embarrassed by this story. “I let Drew take her to the mall, and Phoebe thought they were a couple.”

There was a long pause. “You allowed Trish to go to the mall with Drew? Our nephew Drew? Drew the sociopath?”

“It was her idea,” Alek insisted. “Believe me, I tried to talk her out of it, but the woman can be very stubborn.”

“You are responsible for Trish’s care,” Roman said calmly, but Alek suspected he was anything but calm. His oldest brother was an expert at keeping his emotions hidden. “I expect you to take charge of the situation and make her listen to reason if necessary.”

“What the fuck!” Lydia’s raspy shout from the background brought a smile to Alek’s lips. He’d love to see his brother try to force his wife to see reason.

“Alek let Trish go to the mall with Drew,” Roman said incredulously.

“So?” Lydia asked. “Drew’s mostly harmless, just really annoying.”

“Harmless?” Alek and Roman gasped in unison.

“Have you lost your mind?” Roman asked his wife.

Alek heard Lydia’s voice growing fainter as she talked about the many reasons the Draksel men were idiots.

“I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes when you get off the phone,” Alek said with a grin.

Roman chuckled. “Lydia’s not one to hold a grudge. Now, tell me what happened with Phoebe.”

Alek recounted what he knew, including Drew’s assurances that Phoebe wouldn’t be able to find the condo.

“It sounds like Trish should be safe, but I’d feel better if one of us were with her at all times until Phoebe’s located,” Roman said.

“That was my thought, as well,” Alek said. “I’m also having Isaiah double check the security system he put in at the condo.”

“Good idea,” Roman said. “I’m guessing Phoebe won’t leave the area without making at least one more attempt to get Drew to go with her.”

“Just as we expected,” Alek added.

“Let me know if you find anything else,” Roman said. “For now, I’d better go make up with my wife.
