Chapter 16

Candice

The flight back to Tampa was silent, everyone lost in their own thoughts. Jasper spent the entire time passed out from drinking so much whiskey. The moment we landed the security team Ken had put into place helped us through the crowd of paparazzi all wanting to talk to Jasper. Finding out your mother was murdered on national T.V. and attacking anyone within a five feet radius is the perfect story for these hyenas.

The car that was waiting for our arrival brought everyone home but Jasper and me. He demanded to go to the police station and talk to the detective in charge of his mother’s murder. Everyone tried to talk him into sobering up first, but he was relentless, so once again I volunteered to go with him.

We met with a detective named Kane. He informed Jasper that Janice was found by an old friend that was stopping by to visit. The coroner says she was in the house about three days before the friend called it in. There was no sign of forced entry, or any type of struggle. They assume she was drugged then bound because of the amount of drugs found in her system. They asked Jasper questions about Janice’s life, and if she had any known enemies. Jasper told them everything he knew, then left his cell number in case they needed anything else, or had any new leads.

Walking out of the police station, I could sense the weight of the world on his shoulders, so when he suggested I spend the day with him at his house, I accepted. I knew he had moved out on his own, also that his fighting career was going well, but the size of his house still surprised me. He made arrangements for me to stay in one of his many quest bedrooms. It’s just down the hall from his room making it quit easy to hear him stumbling drunk to bed night after night.

It is now Monday and the funeral has been planned today at noon. I called my boss and she told me not to come in until Thursday. I tried to explain that I only needed today off, but she was adamant, leaving me no choice really.

“Jasper, are you ready?” I ask, walking into the kitchen, where he has been for most of the morning. He is wearing charcoal grey slacks, with a short sleeved button up blue shirt. The first to buttons undone showing some of his chest.

“Yeah, just getting a quick drink. Would you like one?” He says, grabbing a bottle of clear liquid this time. Which means he must have run out of his whiskey. “Don’t you think it’s a little early to be drinking?” I finish saying while trying to grab the glass before he can drink it.

“Don’t you think it’s rude to try and snatch shit from my hand?” He grumbles before downing the liquid. The empty glass making a clanking noise as it hits the bottom of the metal sink.
