Chapter 26

Dennis

On Monday morning, my dick still tingled as I rode the elevator up to the top floor. I smiled recalling my session with Jennifer in the shower this morning. We’d stayed at the beach house until this morning, and the time we’d spent together had recharged my batteries. It had been way too long since I’d felt this good, and it was all because of Jennifer.

I’d dropped her off at her place on my way in, and I knew she’d be in the office before long.

That would present the next problem. How good would I be at keeping my hands off her in the office, and keeping my feelings under wraps?

Melissa had been an excellent actress—seeming to care when she didn’t. I needed to pull off the reverse with Jennifer. Studied ambivalence was the goal.

When I opened the door to the executive area, Cindy spoke before I could ask why my door was already open.

“Your father is waiting.”

Since when did Dad come over here unannounced? His usual routine was to summon me to his building.

I walked into my office. “Good morning, Dad.”

“Not so good, I’m afraid. Please close the door.”

His words were ominous. It took a lot to rattle the great Lloyd Benson.

I closed the door and took my seat behind the desk.

He slid a folder across the desk to me. “The report on Josh’s crash.”

I took the folder and opened it. “What’s the conclusion about the accident?”

“It wasn’t an accident.”

That stopped me cold. I looked up. “What does that mean?”

“It means the crash wasn’t Josh’s fault. Keep reading.”

I read down the page. Most of it was physical descriptions of the location, a diagram, and most importantly Josh’s blood alcohol, which thankfully was a quarter of the legal limit. It would have been terrible if this had been caused by his drinking at Dad’s fundraiser.

The second page contained the kicker. “Two bullet entry holes were located on the right rear quarter panel of the subject vehicle and one in the passenger side door.”

My jaw dropped. “Three bullet holes?”

Dad nodded. “Keep going.”

The next paragraph had another surprise. “Subject vehicle’s right rear tire was deflated, and additional holes consistent with bullet entry and exit were located on the outer and inner sidewalls of that tire. Two bullets were recovered from the vehicle interior.”

The report concluded that the rollover of the car down the embankment was due to the loss of air in the rear tire and subsequent loss of control.

I looked up after finishing. “It was deliberate?”

“Not much doubt about that. You don’t fire multiple shots at a car by accident.”

“Do they have any leads?”

“Not yet. Josh couldn’t be much help. All he knew was he had just passed a black car when it happened.”

I ventured a guess. “Road rage?”

“That is possible, but there are other theories.”

“Who would want to hurt Josh?”

It didn’t make sense. Josh was mild mannered compared to me, and he hadn’t been in much of a position to piss anybody off.

“Nobody comes to mind.” Dad rubbed at his goatee.
