“She was obviously sneaking off somewhere. I knew you would want to know where. You know, I actually find myself liking the girl,” Max said with a chuckle.
“I don’t give a damn if you like her,” Blake thundered. “Tell me where she went.”
“She went to a house — by bus, if you’re interested — and then emerged with a boy, a young boy. They went to a pizza place, and then three hours later, she returned him. I was going to talk to you and find out if you wanted me to find out who the boy is.”
Max waited, surprised when he saw the little color in his boss’s face drain wholly away. He had no idea what that meant, so he waited, knowing Blake was processing his words.
“She was telling me the truth…”
While Max looked at him blankly, Blake stared silently at the floor. Then, when his boss stood up and moved to the stairs, the driver remained where he was. He didn’t know what was coming next.
