CHAPTER 5
Scott surprised himself with how quickly he adapted to surviving. He figured out the key groups and individuals to ally with in prison, doing favors for the right people and keeping himself in the guardsâ good books.
The ongoing bartering allowed him a fair level of access to the criminal underground on the outside. Scott was fed snippets of information which together painted a very clear picture.
It had turned out that he was far from the first person Gideon had screwed over, even though he had managed to cover his tracks.
Scott memorized every single detail from the information he accumulated. Over the rest of his time in jail, only two things kept him going, the thought of being reunited with his wife and son and the chance to put Gideon in the ground.
But his hopes for a reunion with his wife and son were cruelly dashed. The inmates who had helped him keep tabs on Andrea and Milo had discovered that Andrea was seeing someone else, and that the relationship was quite serious. Milo had even taken to calling the guy âdadâ.
Over the years, Scott came to be known as a model prisoner, to the point he had many inmates and guards supporting his appeals for release.
When he was finally released after his ten years, he felt the change in the atmosphere, as though he was stepping out into a different world.
Now that he was out, Scott had two choices. He could either head to the house where Andrea and Milo were supposedly living, or he could head to the address he had been given for Gideon.
His first thought was to see Andrea and to try and build bridges. And Milo... he was nineteen now and Scott had missed his entire childhood, unable to see his son make that transition to becoming a man. So many experiences he had wanted to have, but never could. He had yet seen Milo as an adult and wondered if he would recognize him if he saw him.
But then he remembered that Andrea had made it very clear he would be blocked from their memories. And if Andrea was as good as her word, there was no doubt that she had spent the past decade raising Milo to hate the very idea of his father, or had just refused to talk about him. He wasnât sure which would be worse. The process of reconciliation would be a long and painstaking one.
Now Gideon... Gideon was the reason for all of Scottâs suffering. And God knows how many more people had been tangled up in Gideonâs web of bullshit.
Scott was well aware of the risk he was taking. If anybody caught on, had the slightest inclination of what he was doing, heâd be heading straight back to prison. Only this time, thereâd be no release date.
As he made his way across Los Angeles, the closer he got to Gideonâs address, the more Scott became aware he wasnât entirely sure what he was doing. How was he
