determined.
He nodded and said, “I have to. They need me. I have
to get them to some place safe and get them settled. Marie has a really hard
time getting a job…her history is so sketchy with jobs from one town to the
next and leaving them with no notice…she can’t get government aid because Mitch
just uses it to track her.”
“What about the police, Paul? Can’t they help you?”
“I don’t trust them. Mitch has told them all that
Marie stole Victor for no reason. He has the old evidence against her that he
kept…and he keeps telling me that he can have me arrested in a heartbeat and
make the charges stick.”
“The charges? What can he make stick?” I was confused.
“He says he’ll frame me. He’ll do something and make
it look like it was me, set me up.”
“Oh my God. What a horrible man.” I knew that was stating the obvious, but I was just
appalled. Poor Paul…this was no way to live his life…. “Oh shit! What about
your fights?”
“They’ll have to stay on hold for now…until we get
rid of Mitch somehow.”
“Oh, Paul,” I put my hand on the side of his face. I
felt so bad for him and so helpless. I didn’t want him to go for me as well. I
was just getting used to him. He put his hand over mine and then slid it across
his lips and kissed it. Then he leaned in and kissed me on my lips and said,
“I’m sorry, Jessie.”
“It’s okay, it’s not your fault,” I said. My heart
was breaking for him. It had to be so hard to keep starting over. “Please be
safe.”
“I will. You too,” he said. I stood by the lake and
watched him leave. When he got back to the little lot he got into a small
yellow sports car. It must be his Sensei’s or someone else who was helping
them. I stood there until he drove away. I felt bad for him and for Marie and
for Victor…but I felt bad for myself as well.
