on suspiciously. The woman looked like she was on a top secret mission something definitely burned her ass.
    She wouldn’t recount what happened. Not yet. Her hand was stuffed in her pocket. Her fingertip caressing that ring as it burned a hole in it. Jasper and Georgie looked at head other as they waited for her to speak.
    “Jasper.” She stated his name as he looked on.
    “Yes, Lauren? What is it?”
    She inhaled. To Lauren, time seemed to stand still as her mind raced about the events of the day and quickly formed plan after plan in a matter of minutes.
    “I don’t believe you killed Lucas Jackson and I’m going to help get you out of here, but first you’re going to do something for me.”
    Jasper sat back in his chair staring straight in her eyes. He considered long and hard what she could possibly want from him.
    “Ok then … what do you need, Lauren?”
    Lauren pulled the ring from her pocket and set it on the table, the gold band of the cocktail ring vibrating off the metal of the table.
    “Tell me everything you know about Darla Lovell.”

    CHAPTER ONE
     
    When I say my boyfriend is rich, don’t start thinking Wall Street mogul or tech billionaire, I just mean that in our city his family ranked with the elites. His great grandfather started a factory and now it employed a lot of people and made a lot of stuff and his whole family was pretty well off compared to the rest of us. It’s not like I was hurting for cash though, my father was a programmer for a big company and my mom was a dental hygienist, I didn’t want for anything growing up and I could pass for pretty high end which was how I landed Joel. We were quite the pair. He looked like one of those guys off from an Abercrombie ad, tousled hair, buff, polo shirts and khaki shorts, no tattoos, and I was an average, slender faced, black girl with an average body and thick black hair.
    After graduating from high school my parents insisted that my free ride was over, I could live at home rent free but I had to work or go to school. If I didn’t go to school I had to pay for my own cell phone, my own clothes, my own trips to get my nails done, all of it.

    My boyfriend Joel went off to school and thankfully the business courses he needed were offered locally so we weren’t stuck in one of those long distance relationships, but sometimes he forgot that the working girl doesn’t get four months off every year. Which is why we were arguing, something that had started happening more and more over the school year.
    “It’s one weekend, Emily.”
    “No, a weekend is Saturday and Sunday, you want to leave Thursday morning and come back Monday night. That’s five days I’d have to take off of work.”
    “But it’s summer vacation, and it’s just one weekend, and Buddy and Julia are coming and it’ll be fun, and we’ll have a campfire and go kayaking …”
    “I can’t, Joel. I can’t take that
