corner. Yeah, I
remember Simon asking if I was okay but his face kept going in and
out and I think I was laughing or someone was laughing and I guess
that's when I kissed Simon."
    "What do you mean guess? Before when
I asked you told me you did."
    "Well that's what everyone else said
that I did." Fucking lamb to the slaughter.
    "Did you fall asleep?"
    "I must've because I woke up on
dad's couch."
    "Wait a minute what? Why am I now
hearing this?"
    "I don't know you were so angry that
day when you confronted me that you didn't let me say anything. As
soon as I admitted to the kiss you shut down, shut me out." I had
to pull her into my arms then because she started tearing up and
rocking back and forth in her chair.
    "Ssh, ssh, it's okay baby, it's okay
I was being an asshole, when we're done you can take me out back
and use all those Krav Maga skills I taught you on me okay." She
hugged me tighter but at least the tears had stopped.
    "How did you get on your dad's couch
do you know?"
    "He said Simon dropped me off,
something about me having too much but I only remembered having the
one. Maybe the pregnancy made me even less tolerant I don't know,
usually I can do two and a half beers before I feel like toppling
over but..."
    "Do you remember anything else about
the bar?" She shook her head slowly back and forth.
    "Why're you asking me all these
questions you're not planning on going after Simon are you? Dominic
I think it was all me, I'm sorry but when the rumor started I
confronted him and he was too embarrassed to tell me but then I got
the truth out of him. He said I was the one that kissed him, then
he was muttering something about Brenda but I didn't understand him
and I didn't follow through because I was sick to my stomach with
fear. I knew if you ever got wind of it you'd kill us both. I don't
think he tried anything. It was all me." She started to cry again
my poor baby.
    "Baby listen to me, you weren't
yourself that night it's not your fault."
    "What do you mean?" She looked at me
in confusion.
    "I think you were
drugged."
    "What? Simon would never do
that."
    "Maybe not but somebody
did."
    "I don't know Dominic it seems
rather far fetched why would someone drug me? And who?"
    "That's what I'm going to find out."
I didn't tell her about Garrett, not yet I had to get to the bottom
of this first. I could see she was having a hard time accepting
that she might've been drugged, I wouldn't have believed it myself
either if I didn't have the proof.
    “You need to call the doctor and
tell him you need a check up ASAP.” I could see that made her
nervous but even though Garret had assured me the kid should be
okay I wasn’t willing to take the chance.
    She ran to the phone and called;
forty minutes later she was lying on an examination table. I had
word with the doctor out of earshot to let him know what he should
be looking for. He too was very reassuring about the affects on the
baby but I still needed hard proof.
    When he was through with her I ran
her back up the mountain, I had shit to do that couldn’t
wait.
    "I have something to take care of I
might be a few hours, you'll be okay here by yourself?"
    "Yes, you're coming back though
right?"
    "Of course I'm coming
back."

 
     
Chapter 11
     
     
    In the last few days I’d been doing my
homework while I waited for Garret. There was only one person in
the surrounding areas that could’ve supplied the drug since I’m
pretty sure the guilty party hadn’t ordered it online. I know this
guy Jimmy Belafonte was a small time hustler who dabbled in
illegals on the side along with some other shady shit. Every small
town has their Jimmy it seems. The American fucking nightmare!
    I’d never had reason to pay him a visit
before; our worlds didn’t collide. It would probably be better to
let my father in law deal with this shit he’s the law after all.
I’m sure he could find something to haul good old Jimmy off to the
clinker for, but I needed more than that, I needed
