Chapter Ten
A few minutes later, Zack Wright sat down across from me in my office. He looked really nervous.
âI have to say, I didnât expect you to have an update for me this soon,â Zack said.
âHonestly, neither did I.â
âDid you just happen to get lucky? Or are you just incredible at your job?â
âIt just happened to be a very interesting night. But sometimes things just work out that way.â
Zack began rubbing his hands together. âI knew that Kyle was hiding some dirt. My instincts are always right.â
What an ironic thing for Zack to say. Especially given what I was about to tell him.
âAre you ready to hear the news?â I asked.
He nodded. âI sure am. What did you dig up on Kyle?â
âNothing.â
Zack gave me a blank stare. âI donât understand. When you called me in here, you told me that you had some crazy things to tell me.â
âI do. They just donât involve digging up dirt on Kyle.â
âThen what do they involve?â
âTo start, Kyle and Brianna have broken up.â
Zackâs eyes widened. âAre you serious?â
I nodded.
âDid you break them up?â he asked.
I shook my head. âNo. Why would you think that?â
âI just figured that maybe you talked some sense into my daughter. Or that maybe you presented her with some details that couldnât be ignored.â
âNope.â
âEither way, itâs such great news that they arenât together anymore. Whatever you did, I canât thank you enough.â
I put my hand up. âBefore you get too far ahead of yourself, thereâs something that I need to tell you.â
âWhat is it?â
I took a deep breath before replying. âUnfortunately, thereâs no easy way to say this.â
He shrugged. âWhat are you talking about?â
âThe circumstances surrounding their breakup are very sad. And also quite serious.â
âYouâre not making any sense.â
âKyle was concerned about your daughterâs drug problem, but she completely dismissed his concerns. Even after he gave her an ultimatum.â
Zackâs eyebrows rose. âWait a minute. Did you just say drug problem?â
âYes,â I replied. âI hate to be the one to tell you this, but your daughter has a cocaine problem.â
âNo. That canât be true. I donât know where youâre getting your information from, butââ
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.
âIâm very sorry,â I said. âI canât imagine what youâre going through right now.â
I knew that it was a lot of information to process, but as more seconds ticked by, the situation turned awkward.
Finally, I couldnât remain patient any longer. I broke the silence between us.
âMr. Wright, please say something,â I remarked.
Zack gritted his teeth. âIâm going to kill him.â
My nose scrunched. âWho?â
âKyle.â
âWhy him?â
âIsnât it obvious? That punk clearly turned my daughter into an addict. He got her hooked on drugs.â
âMr. Wright, I donât mean to argue with you, but thereâs no evidence of that.â
âThere has to be.â
âLike I said, thereâs no evidence to back that up. In fact, as hard as
