Chapter 18

TYSON

The land surrounding Three Rivers is bone dry, dust eating away at me as I ride down the lone back highway. My fingers start to go numb from the jarring of the road. The tension starting in my shoulders traveling throughout my body.

The first thing I need to do is hack into Lewis’s computer. It may leave clues as to his last moments before his death. I also need to go see Andrea. She may have a few key details without even knowing.

I wish I felt Jewels’s body pressed against me on the bike, the fact that I have to get my ass back into the city before her grates at me. Especially knowing her ex will probably keep trying to pursue her. Even thinking his name infuriates me. I rev my bike to go faster, welcoming the power I feel underneath my hands.

I stop in front of my parking stall in the underground parking area to see an Escalade is parked in my spot. If it didn’t have car seats in the back I may have put up more of a fuss. But the mom was probably having a hard enough time as it was. So I park my motorcycle beside it, encroaching onto the other stall that also has a car in it.

My head rests on the elevator wall as I close my eyes. Stress tingling throughout my body. I just need a cold beer while I rest on my couch and figure out what is going on with the people around me these days. The dinging of the elevator has me opening my eyes, and as I head to my penthouse door I decide to call Jewels. I need to hear her sweet voice.

“Hello?” a woman’s voice answers.

“Can I talk to Jewels?” Immediately, I wonder who is answering her phone and why.

“Babe, who is it?” a voice in the background calls out.

Keeping the phone between my ear and shoulder, I slip my key into the lock, but it doesn’t glide in as normal, it gets stuck about halfway through and won’t budge. Taking the key out, I retry to only find it doesn’t work again.

“Sorry, no Jewels at this number.”

I shake my head, annoyed at my door, and the phone between my ear and shoulders is pinching a nerve like crazy.

“Sorry about that.” I drop my phone to my back pocket and check the doorknob just to make sure it is locked. It is.

I really don’t have time for this shit.

Taking the phone back out I call my super, and it only takes one ring for him to answer. “Hey, Jerry, it’s Tyson.” I don’t brother with my last name, he knows who I am. In fact, it was because of me he was hired.

“Sorry, man, I think you have the wrong number.” I bring my phone from my ear to look at my phone. It’s the right number.

“Uh, no…Jerry, the superintendent?”

“Yep, you got the superintendent but I’m not Jerry. I’m Kyle.”

“What happened to Jerry?” I ask as I try the knob again.
