Chapter Thirty

Jubilant, Jessica was looking forward to a celebration, even if they were on a retribution mission. After the stress of Schmutzig’s death, the revelations about Amber’s parentage, and the secret of Lolita’s grandparents, she needed to blow off steam.

“How are you holding up?” Jessica asked, reaching over from the back seat to touch Amber’s shoulder.

“I’m okay I guess.” Amber turned around. “I’m not speaking to my mother.” She took a vial from her purse and placed several drops of homeopathic elixir under her tongue. “I don’t know if I should tell my dad or not. I mean my mother’s husband. I guess he’s not really my dad.”

“He’s your step-dad and he loves you. You don’t think he already knows?”

“No, I don’t think so.”

“How do you think he’d react?”

“Probably divorce Mom.” Amber took out another tiny bottle and dropped another extract under her tongue.

“No wonder she wanted to bury that journal,” Jack said. “You don’t think Wolf, threatened your mom to tell your dad, I mean Mr. Bush, do you?”

“We’ll never know,” said Jessica. “But the last entry said he planned to tell his mother she had a granddaughter.”

“Wow, Zelda Schmutzig is my grandmother,” Amber said. “Weird.” She sprayed some kind of mist into her mouth.

“What are you doing?” Jessica asked.

“Rescue Remedy,” Amber said.

Jack handed her a joint. “Here, try this Sweetie,” he said. “The best herbal remedy in the world.”

Lolita’s bike was parked outside the fraternity house by the time Jack pulled up in front. There were banners hanging across another converted mansion: Graduation Weekend: Red X Party. At the front door, a clean-cut frat boy stamped a red X on the back of Jessica’s hand, and said, “Welcome to the hottest party on campus.” He stamped Amber’s hand with a red X and motioned her inside. He made Jack pay a $10 cover charge and stamped his hand with a black X.

“Red for girls, black for boys,” Amber said.

The frat boy laughed. “Not exactly. The bar is around the corner. You girls drink for free.” He winked at them and rubbed his hands together. As if to prove his point, he stamped the gangly long necked girl behind them with a black X. Inside they noticed all of the boys had black X’s while some of the girls had red ones and some had black ones. By the end of the night, most of the girls with the red ones would be in the hospital.

As they headed towards the bar, Jessica reminded Amber not to take a drink from anyone.

“Not even Jackie?”

“Jack, keep an eye on her.”

“I’ll keep more than my eye on her.” When he took Amber’s tiny hand in both of his and kissed it, her grin lit up the room.

The three friends met Lolita at the bar. “Spread out and stay on your toes.” The bartender checked their hands and handed the girls punch in red cups. Jack tapped himself a beer from a keg. “Remember, no drinking,” Lolita whispered. “We’ll meet back here in half an hour.
