envisioned it to be so long ago.
    “We can’t do anything to the reporter. That is why Maxwell has the place under the public eye. He knows that it will be pushed back to me. That is why you have to make sure that you get them going good, but don’t get caught stirring the pot. I don’t know how we are going to do this, but if I can get those two locked up, the people will quickly forget. There is always something else to focus on.”
    Buzz nodded, but waited. “Are you sure you don’t want to silence the reporter?”
    David shook his head. “I would love to more than anything, but not yet, maybe when everything dies down. You just make sure that you do what I say and to the rest, they need to get rid of any evidence that we have any dealings together. If they do get wind of it, I want to make sure that it is all just conjectures and rumors. I don’t want any proof.”
    “You got it boss.”
    He sighed. “Don’t call me that. Just let me know when it is done. I have more important things to worry about than Maxwell Grindle and the ghosts from the past.”
    David hung up and still there was a sinking feeling in his gut. There was no doubt that he deserved what Maxwell had in mind for him, but David would do anything to prolong the inevitable. He had faith that something would happen to change it all. It was not going to be the end for him. He refused for it to happen.
    He pushed play on the video one last time, taking in the man’s features. They were so similar to the ones that he seen every day in the mirror. What was he going to do and why didn’t he ever see it before. The man who wanted to see him locked up for the crimes he didn’t even know about, was his own son and he didn’t even know it. David never wanted him to know, because then there would be so many more questions that were going to be impossible to answer. Maxwell had been unable to give the boy up when he had lost his mother, keeping the secret.

Chapter 5
    Namadi followed Andre deeper into the tunnel and now that she knew where she actually was, she was almost shaking with fear. Andre took her hand at some point and convinced her to keep going. He wanted to show her the way out and when she finally breathed in the fresh air around her, she could help but smile back at him. They were on the bluff that he had talked about half a mile from his small house.
    “Wow, it is a nice place to go.” He had gotten what he wanted anyways and Namadi was just as taken with him as she was the view. There was a moment when she was looking up at him, that she had thought he was going to kiss her. She leaned in slightly, reading herself, but it never happened. Instead his phone ringed and he was soon cursing into the small device.
    Namadi tried to keep up with the conversation, but some things became clear. There was something going on back where they had come from. The voice on the other end was sharp, but Andre’s was sharper. “I don’t want any fighting, no guns!”
    He listened for a minute and looked back into the tunnel. There was no way that he was going back to get arrested. Andre’s men had gotten into a brawl with some of the bikers from Colorado and now the police were moving in. His father had been clear of nothing more specifically than violence, knowing that once the police got involved, everything would be shut down. If they fought back, there side would always be tarnished.
    It was already too late though, so going back would do nothing but secure himself a prison cell. There would be no telling what he would be charged with as the ring leader and Andre didn’t want to find out. It was then that he remembered who was next to him and who she was. “Just get all of mine back in the house. Close up the back entrance and cooperate.”
    “You heard me. Call me back and let me know if they get my dad.”
    Andre hung up and shut the heavy door behind him. Pushing the vines back to cover the door, he looked around for a minute to get his
