When Uncle Jude doesn’t call back within a couple hours, the bottle is gone, it’s near six in the morning, and I hold out for doom.

That’s when it occurs to me that Uncle Jude might be calling my office, or any matter of numbers.

My cell phone is down in the car.

But I’m too drunk to stumble down into my 911 to grab it.

Instead, I pick up Leigha’s phone off the coffee table and shove some of the whiskey-soaked newspapers aside to dial.

“Evan, where the hell have you been!” Jude scolds me.

“I’ve called you, multiple times,” he continues.

“I’m not at home,” I reply, trying to do my best not to slur.

He doesn’t even notice.

Jude, as my father says, doesn’t notice anything unless he wants to.

“That bastard nephew of mine,” Jude swears.

“You and your father, are going straight to hell, you know that?” he shouts.

His accent is thick.

“Probably,” I say.

I shrug even though no one is in the room.

“Geoffrey Whittaker is on his way, so you’d best be at your office when he arrives,” Jude tells me.

“Whittaker?” I slur.

“Were you not the same blasted boy I spoke with just a few hours ago? Duke Whittaker, cousin to the Queen, the man I called in a favor with to spare your father from jail?” my uncle reminds me.

Or great Uncle.

I was never one hundred percent sure on that.

Jude is way older than my father, and his sons are about my father’s age.

I find myself off on a tangent to figure out who is my Uncle, Jude or his sons?

His sons are closer to my dad’s age…

“Evan!” Jude yells.

“Yeah,” I sober up slightly for him.

“Be at your office, please. I do not want an international incident on my hands,” he insists.

“Alright, alright, when’s his plane coming in?” I sigh.

“He’ll be in by this evening,” Jude reports.

“Time difference and all,” he explains further.

“Okay, then I can sober up,” I say.

“You damn well better Evan, you damn well better!” Jude screams at me.

I hear the phone slam down on the other end.

I click my tongue, disgusted with my Uncle for some reason, and shuffle into Leigha’s kitchen where I manage to work the coffee machine, after sticking the coffee pod in multiple times.

The coffee is just finished brewing when Leigha appears in the doorway.

“What are you doing, clanging around in here, goddamnit Evan!” Leigha says with a glare.

“Coffee,” I sing to her.

“You’re drunk,” she sighs.

“I think I’m still drunk,” Leigha adds.

She swipes the cup of coffee from me and sticks another pod in the machine.

“Did you figure out what’s going on, or are you going to go down drowning like I did?” she asks.

I watch her hop up on the counter to reach into one of the top cabinets.

Leigha tosses a bottle of heavy duty aspirin at me.

“The cousin to the Queen apparently owes my Uncle Jude a favor, and since he can’t do anything, I have to sober up and meet this guy,” I try to explain.

“You have to meet the cousin of the Queen?” Leigha stares at me.
