Tit for Tat

“What’d you find out?” Greg plopped down across from Lauren. He looks good, Lauren thought. Better than the last time she’d come to visit. He’d lost a little weight, but he seemed more muscular, even under his faded orange jumpsuit. He certainly looked better than a lot of the inmates seated at other tables in the room, speaking softly to their visitors.

“A bunch of stuff,” she gushed, barely able to contain her excitement. “But here’s the kicker. Yesterday, she went to a pregnancy clinic, so she’s knocked up.”

“Really?” her brother murmured, intrigued.

“Wait. It gets better. When she got home last night, she had a huge fight with some rich guy who has a Mercedes. I think he’s the father and was trying to buy her off to get an abortion. She threw an envelope at him that had a shitload of money in it.”

“You saw the money?” Greg leaned in.

“Uh, yeah. It flew all over. He was scrambling to pick it all back up without getting his nice suit dirty.” Lauren laughed, picturing it in her mind. Greg smiled.

“You did good, little sis.” Lauren beamed, happy that she’d proven herself. “I’m thinking possibilities right now.”

“I just want revenge. Look how much you’ve suffered . . . how much Mom has suffered because of her.” They’d barely been holding on to begin with. Ever since their father left, Greg had been the one to keep the family together. Their mother wasn’t good at taking care of herself, or anyone else for that matter, and Greg was the one who handled everything from finances to protecting Lauren from the creepers who lived in their neighborhood.

“Gelato Bitch can’t make things right but her rich sugar daddy can.” Greg smirked.

“Restitution?” Lauren asked, wondering what Greg had in mind.

“Restitution.”
