Chapter Eleven

Connor

It’d been quite a while since I waited in the backseat of someone’s car for them to come out. And as I laid there, prone, in the backseat of Sebastian Jarvis Caldwell’s F-150 truck, I had to control the anger coursing through my body. Just after taking Resha to her hair appointment, I called Brutus back for him to give me the information he was able to pull up on Caldwell. Turns out, he had a spotty past.

Caldwell came from a well-to-do family, but he himself was a slacker. He’d been a middle school teacher for a few years right out of undergrad, but when it was found out that he’d actually been having an affair with one of the eighth grade students, he was abruptly fired, and rightfully so. However, his family’s money kept him out of jail and off the sex offender registry list. But that didn’t slow Sebastian down. A few years later, in Sebastian’s old neighborhood there were reports of a Peeping Tom in the area. The police never caught the guy but there were two neighbors who swore they saw Sebastian running from the scene where the peeping took place. Unfortunately, he’d had an alibi that his mother just so happened to back up. And surprise, surprise, the Peeping Tom seemed to go away once Sebastian moved out of that neighborhood. That move brought him to Resha’s building, where he began going by his middle name, Jarvis.

The more I found out about this guy, the more the pieces seemed to fall into place. Just when my patience was starting to wane, a shadow befell the backseat of the car, moving to the front. I ceased breathing, remaining completely still as Jarvis or Sebastian, whatever the fuck his name was, pulled open the driver side door and climbed in behind the wheel.

Before he could insert the key into the ignition, I sprang up from behind him and circled his neck with my right arm, pulling him hard against the headrest of his seat. My left arm came up to hook onto my right shoulder, completing the circle and leaving his windpipe completely vulnerable to whatever I wanted to do with it.

“Wh-Wha—” he struggled to talk.

“Don’t speak unless spoken to. That’s the one hope you have of saving your own life right now, understood?”

He tried to nod, and I took that as a yes. Reaching forward with my left hand, I lowered the sun visor and pushed the mirror component open to allow me to see Sebastian’s face, but due to my position he couldn’t see mine.

“I’m going to ask you a series of questions. They’ll be yes or no questions. You’re going to blink once for no and twice for yes. Do you understand?”

He went to nod his head, and I tightened the hold I had around his neck.

“You don’t seem to fucking understand English. Is that the case, Sebastian? Do I need to speak another fucking language for you to understand what I’m saying? Blink once for no and twice for yes.
