Chapter 69

“I’m still confused. Maybe we can start at the beginning.”

Noah remained quiet, so Mason went on.

“What I think I got so far is, someone witnessed you hooking up with a guy and threatened to out you to your team.”

Noah’s head shook. The answer was definitely affirmative.

Again, holy shit. “You don’t have any idea who made the threat? Or why?”

Again, affirmative.

“So, you quit?”

Noah shook his head.

“That’s the part I can’t grasp. What made you think they wouldn’t out you if you left? Or did you figure, you’d be gone, so the fallout wouldn’t matter?”

“They told me.” Noah mumbled.

“Who told you, and what did they tell you?”

“A note came with the pictures. Told me to get out. Said when time came for me to re-up, it would be in my best interest not to. Told me if I did, the pictures would be in everybody’s hands the day following my signing.”
