Patrick’s work computer softly hummed in front of me. I could almost feel the expectant unblinking gaze of the room’s cameras watching what I’d do next. My fingers hovered over the keyboard with reluctance. Would I fulfill my end of the deal? Would I fold and feign ignorance?

I’m so sorry, Wreck.

“His real name is Stewart,” I typed.

My every keystroke was a betrayal of Wreck’s trust, yet one bringing me closer to the end of all this.

Patrick wasn’t here when I arrived, but he rarely was at this hour unless there were new guests to meet or entertain. He didn’t need to be physically standing over my shoulder for me to feel his omnipresence. It was my first night into this new arrangement where I would spend my days with Wreck and my nights back at the laundromat. There was no way that Patrick wouldn’t be watching this live through the room’s cameras.

Probably while sitting in the living room of my family’s home.

The realization simultaneously made me feel furious, and utterly powerless. Forcing myself to finish, I recounted all the major details like where we went, what we did and who, if anyone, we talked to. I had to include several personal things like real names of the bikers, whatever I was able to find out about their personalities, and some of the things they liked. Patrick knew that most of the information I would be collecting by virtue of proximity if nothing else would on Wreck himself so I had to write in detail about him.

That was by far the worst part. I liked the other MC members enough, but several of them I’d never even talked to before so it was a little easier to justify collecting their information. Wreck though… He was a man who literally saved my life and this was how I was repaying him?

The little mercies I could give were in what I left out of the day’s report. Patrick couldn’t see or hear everything while we were out so there was a bit of wiggle room in what I could omit. Teaching Wreck sign language was one of the things Patrick didn’t have to know about. It wouldn’t be enough to keep Wreck from harm though. I was standing in the pouring rain holding an umbrella trying to keep a whole field dry. My acts of rebellion seemed so small in the face of everything I was actually giving Patrick. Everything I wrote today seemed relatively tame or insignificant, but that didn’t matter. Patrick knew that Wreck would eventually slip up and tell me something he could use to crush Wreck and his MC when he was finished with them. When that happened I’d earn my freedom from Patrick and this whole life.

I’d be able to go home.

It was late and I was all alone with my thoughts which were spiraling into guilt. Pushing myself back from the computer, it was suddenly clear how much I needed a break. I hadn’t been working for very long, but this kind of work taxed me much more than anything I’d ever done before.
