Chapter Ten

A few minutes later, Zack Wright sat down across from me in my office. He looked really nervous.

“I have to say, I didn’t expect you to have an update for me this soon,” Zack said.

“Honestly, neither did I.”

“Did you just happen to get lucky? Or are you just incredible at your job?”

“It just happened to be a very interesting night. But sometimes things just work out that way.”

Zack began rubbing his hands together. “I knew that Kyle was hiding some dirt. My instincts are always right.”

What an ironic thing for Zack to say. Especially given what I was about to tell him.

“Are you ready to hear the news?” I asked.

He nodded. “I sure am. What did you dig up on Kyle?”

“Nothing.”

Zack gave me a blank stare. “I don’t understand. When you called me in here, you told me that you had some crazy things to tell me.”

“I do. They just don’t involve digging up dirt on Kyle.”

“Then what do they involve?”

“To start, Kyle and Brianna have broken up.”

Zack’s eyes widened. “Are you serious?”

I nodded.

“Did you break them up?” he asked.

I shook my head. “No. Why would you think that?”

“I just figured that maybe you talked some sense into my daughter. Or that maybe you presented her with some details that couldn’t be ignored.”

“Nope.”

“Either way, it’s such great news that they aren’t together anymore. Whatever you did, I can’t thank you enough.”

I put my hand up. “Before you get too far ahead of yourself, there’s something that I need to tell you.”

“What is it?”

I took a deep breath before replying. “Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to say this.”

He shrugged. “What are you talking about?”

“The circumstances surrounding their breakup are very sad. And also quite serious.”

“You’re not making any sense.”

“Kyle was concerned about your daughter’s drug problem, but she completely dismissed his concerns. Even after he gave her an ultimatum.”

Zack’s eyebrows rose. “Wait a minute. Did you just say drug problem?”

“Yes,” I replied. “I hate to be the one to tell you this, but your daughter has a cocaine problem.”

“No. That can’t be true. I don’t know where you’re getting your information from, but—”

I pulled up a photo on my phone and showed it to Zack. In the photo, Brianna was snorting a line of cocaine.

When Zack looked at the photo, he went dead quiet for a number of seconds.

“I’m very sorry,” I said. “I can’t imagine what you’re going through right now.”

I knew that it was a lot of information to process, but as more seconds ticked by, the situation turned awkward.

Finally, I couldn’t remain patient any longer. I broke the silence between us.

“Mr. Wright, please say something,” I remarked.

Zack gritted his teeth. “I’m going to kill him.”

My nose scrunched. “Who?”

“Kyle.”

“Why him?”

“Isn’t it obvious? That punk clearly turned my daughter into an addict. He got her hooked on drugs.”

“Mr. Wright, I don’t mean to argue with you, but there’s no evidence of that.”

“There has to be.”

“Like I said, there’s no evidence to back that up. In fact, as hard as
