Chapter 61

Reggie was lost in thought. “You know, I think the money is what started all of this. They never gave a rat’s ass who I screwed before Gramps died. Now they want the money, so they’re going to withhold their affection until I give them some.”

“Not bloody likely…” Zach rumbled.

“It wouldn’t have helped, just made the situation worse. We liberated Reggie’s things, which was what we needed to do. They weren’t supposed to be home, hence the confrontation.” Jason buttered his croissant.

“You should get your cholesterol checked. I don’t know how you need more butter on that when it’s made with layers of it,” Bobby told Jason.
