Chapter Eleven

I quickly picked up my phone and dialed Cain’s number. It went to voicemail immediately and I hung up. I sent a text, hoping he would see it sooner. Cain, call me ASAP. I have news!!!

I dialed my father and reached his voicemail as well. My last try was Reese.

“Jennifer, I was just going to call you.” He sounded as if he were in a rush. “Cain’s in…”

“Reese, Dylan was just here. He… what? Cain’s where?”

“In jail. Is Dylan still there? Are you Ok?

“No…yes…” My head was spinning, and our conversation was a verbal game of ping-pong that I couldn’t keep up with. “Reese, why is Cain in jail? He’s supposed to be at home.”

“The police picked him up, extortion and the murder of Alice Bennett. Your father and Thomas are with him now.”

As I listened to Reese I frantically ran around the apartment looking for my purse, keys, and shoes. “Reese, I’m on my way down there.”

“No! You stay there! He doesn’t need you down here causing a scene. You stay there until we hear something. Your father said he would call you later.”

I stopped scurrying around the apartment as the seriousness of the situation sank in. My visit from Dylan seemed to pale in comparison to what Cain was going through.

“Jennifer, why was Dylan there? What happened?”

“Reese, I’m Ok. I need to process what’s going on. I have some news that is going to help Cain and we can talk about it tomorrow. Dylan confessed to some things.”

“Alice’s murder?”

The question sank in and I realized that Dylan was definitely capable. “No, but I wouldn’t put it past him…let me know the second you hear anything from Dad.”

“You got it.” Reese hung up.

Aimee looked at me. “So…what’s going on?” I filled her in as we sat on the couch together. I couldn’t help but cry.

“I’m staying with you tonight. You won’t be alone. It’s going to be okay, I promise.”

“Thank you, Aimee.”

She gave me a rueful smile. “It’s kind of my fault anyway, right? I mean, I’m the one that told you to start dating. Although, I must admit, I didn’t mean date an extremely attractive yet complicated mogul.”

We both laughed a little and I went in pursuit of pajamas, a pillow and a blanket. Aimee and I finished the bottle of wine and I tottered off to bed. I faced a long night of tossing and turning, thinking about the future—Cain’s future. I thought about Alice Bennett, the woman who lost her life, probably through a wicked plot conceived in someone’s sick mind—but not Cain Parker’s. I finally fell asleep with the ghoulish vision of Dylan in my living room behind my eyelids and wondered what would have happened if the pizza guy hadn’t “saved” me.

At about two in the morning my phone rang and I grabbed it without even looking at the screen. “Hello? Hello?”

“Jennifer, I just left Cain. He’ll be held until sometime tomorrow. He’s okay, but I want to meet first thing in the morning.
