There was a nice spot I’d had my eye on before shit went south and that land was still there. Dad had grabbed it for me years ago and all that was needed was for me to build my home. I wanted us to live there together. I wanted to have with her what my parents have shared my whole life. I can’t do that peacefully unless I cleared us both from under this cloud that was hanging over our heads.
By the time she pulled up that evening I’d collected what I needed, all that was left was to get a full confession, and then some asshole in the D.A’s office to listen to me. First things first.
I didn’t even have to call her over, she parked and went in to change and then made her way over to me. The phone rang just as she came through the door that I’d left open for her. It was my buddy Cal returning my call.
I kissed her hello as I answered the call. “Hey bud long time no hear.”
“You’re out?”
“Sure thing, listen we’ll get together later and have a few and I’ll tell you all about it. Right now I need a solid brother.”
“Anything, just name it.”
“I have a little bird that flew down to your neck of the woods. I need you to locate and get back to me.”
“One of ours.”
“Nah, he’s a B.A.”
“Damn, you want me to ball him up first?”
“Nope, that POS is all mine.”
“For sure brother, just shoot me the deets.”
“Will do.”
She had a look of confusion on her face when I rang off. “What language were you speaking?”
“English.” I crooked an arm around her neck and hauled her in for a kiss to the forehead.
“What’s B.A.?”
“Benedict Arnold.” She gave that some time to sink in.
“And POS?”
“Piece of shit.” She nodded her understanding and then looked at me skeptically.
“Were you talking about your cousin? I thought you were going to leave that alone?”
“Can’t babe. Not to worry, I’m not gonna do anything stupid. There’s nothing for you to worry about.” She didn’t look like she believed me so I distracted her. According to how this shit panned out I might have to leave her for a day or two after all.
“How was your day?” I listened to her run down of the day at the bank where she worked as a loan officer. I’d never paid much attention to what it was that she did, but I guess she was pretty smart.
I didn’t jump her bones, but instead sat and talked until she had to leave to head back next door, which I barely held myself in check from protesting. I didn’t like feeling like the other man no matter how much she assured me I wasn’t. Like I said, shit was fucked up.
I spared myself the agony of watching them while I got my own dinner prepared, but still had the comp running so I could listen out for sounds of distress. When all seemed quiet next door, I spent the time formulating my plans for when I got Doug in my clutches.
The plan was simple. Get him to confess to his part in the whole sordid matter, get my name cleared, then contact my captain and make sure there was no blemish on my record.
The case had been tried in civilian court but something like this can follow you everywhere. It wasn’t so much my pension and shit that I was worried about. It was all the work that I had done over the years in service to my country. They could keep the money, as long as they cleared my name.

The next day and a half was pure hell. She’d snuck into my bed again the night before and we’d made love into the wee hours before she snuck back next door. Not sure how she planned to keep this shit up and go to work, but the weekend was coming up anyway.
She hadn’t asked for more time but I knew she hadn’t told him it was definitely over. Then I got the call from Cal and had to leave which fucked with my head. If she didn’t have to go into work I would’ve made her come with me, but such is life. I had to leave her behind.
I made sure to give her a good pounding, leaving her pussy sore and out of commission. Just in case the mama’s boy got any ideas. I know she was fucked up because I had to rub ointment into her sore flesh and she couldn’t even bear the feel of her panties against her bruised flesh.
I flew into Fort Lauderdale and rented a truck. Doug hadn’t seen me in almost six years but I’m sure he’d recognize me on sight. I pulled a ball cap down low over my eyes and covered them with aviators. I wasn’t planning to be here long so when I checked into the hotel next door to where he was staying, I only had one bag with a change of clothes.
