Chapter 7

“The reason I was up all night was because of Patty.”

“Patty?”

“My sister. Her husband came home drunk and took out his frustrations at being laid off on Patty. She called the police, and they arrested him. I was over at her house all night.” Clark sighed. “Unfortunately, yesterday they released him on bail, and he punched her in the face and broke her tooth.”

“Oh my God.”

“Yeah, he’s a real asshole. He took off afterward, and the police arrested him again. I hope this is it this time. Patty’s going to talk to a divorce lawyer. I hope.”
