Chapter 146

Kevin knocked on the door and waited for it to open. His mother had called him and told him to come over this weekend. He figured she just wanted to spend some time together. She’d told him that she’d hired a private detective in Washington. He didn’t like it as the man was so far away that she wouldn’t know if he was investigating or not. But, his mother had been adamant.

“Hey, honey,” his mom said as she opened the door.

He hugged her and said, “Hey, Mom.”

“Come in and stay awhile. We need to have a chat.”

“That sounds ominous.”

Kevin sat down on the couch as his mom asked him if he wanted tea. He said he did and she went to get it. He noticed a packet on the coffee table but he didn’t touch it. His mother came back in and handed him the glass.

“Thanks. So, what did you want to chat about?”
