P.S. Here's a little tease to hold you over:
Mason sat on the
edge of the bed, pulled out the pre-paid, and stared at it for a few minutes,
trying to think of the right words to say so he wouldn’t outright piss Veronica
off. Eventually he tapped her number into the phone and hit call. He didn’t
even hear it ring on his end.
“Storm?”
“Yeah, Veronica,
it’s me.” He shut his eyes, picturing her face, keeping him calm.
“Good thing you
called, I was checking flights,” she said. He smiled, imagining the cute way
her brow furrowed when she was ticked. “I need to talk to you.”
“Okay.”
“Are you safe?”
“Yes, I’m
safe…making headway.”
“I found
something.”
“What?” His eyes
popped open, body leaned forward and tensed. Paper rustled in the background.
“This Todd
Jackson guy is on the evidence logs from the Masterson case—”
“I know.”
“Did you know he
and Ben Carter worked together during your case?”
“A passing
memory of it, but that’s not important.”
She huffed.
“Well did you know there are only three business cards logged in from her
purse?”
“Three?”
“Yeah.”
“Fuck.” Mason
knew every single piece of evidence tied to the Masterson case. They accused
him of stealing her clothing, the actual police reports, and the lipstick from
her purse. The business cards weren’t even mentioned during his trial. More
proof his gut was right. Someone was covering up Tiffanie’s murder.
“Yeah,” she
replied, snarky. “Still don’t want my help?”
“I appreciate
it, but no. I don’t. I’ve got everything under—”
“So you know the
other piece of evidence that’s really missing that’s not in your case file?”
Mason sighed.
She wasn’t giving up. Deep down he loved her more for it but wished she’d let
it go. He’d never forgive himself if she became a target. “No, I haven’t even
touched the Masterson file, Veronica. Tell me.”
“The first time
we talked about it you said you sent a piece of her skirt with a blood stain to
the lab. Well it’s not in the evidence logs or the final lab report. It never
got processed.”
“Son of a
bitch,” he spat, ran his hand over his skull. He was so screwed. “Anything else?”
“Not much else I
can do from here.”
“It’s more than
enough already. Thanks.”
“Don’t shut me
out, Storm. You know I can help.”
“I’ve already
got too much on my mind…you gotta let me do this my way. Give me a little more
time—twenty four hours. If I’m not closer to figuring this out you’ll be the
first person I call.”
“I don’t believe
you,” she said. “I know there’s something you’re not telling me, Storm. I’ve
never pried because I didn’t want to be that
girl, but you’re not making this easy for me.”
“Please,
Veronica, you have to trust me. I need to stay focused.”
“I won’t get in
your way, Storm…be careful,” she replied, sniffled.
His gut twisted,
but didn’t change his tune. “I will. And I’ll talk to you soon.”
“Okay.”
“Hey. I love
you.”
“Me too,” she
said then ended the call.
The pit in his
stomach increased, a frown creasing his mouth as he stared at the phone. Her
attitude toward him was already changing, and not for the better. He had little
time to resolve this and get back to his life before the rift ripped them
apart.
Mason refused to
let that happen.
