I Came Home…. – News

Straight to voicemail.

That wasn’t unusual with Brenda. She liked controlling access. If she was mad, she’d ignore me for hours just to prove she could.

I called Jake next.

He had a cheap little phone I paid for because Brenda said he didn’t need one, which was exactly why I insisted he did. It rang six times and then cut off.

I stared at the screen. Called again.
