“Patti’s dad called earlier.” I whispered the words to Josh as soon as he sat next to me on the lounge chair next to the pool. The only light was the half moon that was right overhead and reflecting off the surface of the water. The night was calm and still, everything had gone to sleep it sounded like. It was just us two alone in the night with the shit that we had to do to protect our women. “What the fuck did he want?”
“He knows it’s putting me in an awkward position but if I could just be a character witness maybe the court will go easier on her now that her lawyers have talked her into taking a plea deal.” There was no emotion in my voice as I relayed the message because I no longer had any feeling about it one way or the other. She didn’t think about me or my family when she did that shit, she was thinking only of her own selfishness and to this day I still don’t understand what the fuck her problem was. It’s not like Carrie was taking anything away from her. That just goes to show how unhinged she was.
“What did you tell him?” I looked at my brother like he was stupid and he held up his hands in surrender. “I’m just asking bro, I wouldn’t blame you if you had a moment of weakness, she was your girl for a long time…”
“Joshua, don’t be an ass. You’re my brother you know how we stick together, there’s no way I could ever do such a thing. I would never stand with anyone against you you know that. And the fact that she’s dead wrong makes it even more fucked up that he’d even ask. Dad I think would’ve made us own up to our shit and let the chips fall as hard as it might be for him to do. This guy is just interested in saving his little monster and his family name. Fuck him.”
“Okay bro as long as you’re not feeling any pressure, you don’t have to come to the sentencing hearing if you don’t want to. Carrie and I are thinking of skipping it just to send the message that we’re over her ass already.”
“Damn I never thought of it like that that’s cold.”
“Yeah and I’m hoping the other fuck dies in prison I’m still trying to get the word circulated that he’s a rapist asshole but they have him in solitary or some shit for his protection. And the castrated one is of no concern to me anymore since he’s like half a shell these days.”
“Do you have any remorse for any of that Josh?”
“Not an ounce, people wanna act like deranged animals then let’s give them what they want, like this fuck here. What’re we doing to him tonight?”
I turned on the laptop and hit the buttons needed to bring up the inside of Bruno’s house. Apart from being amazed that this shit was even possible I was just blown away by all the shit we’d captured so far. It made me angry as fuck to know that had the cops taken one step into his home they would’ve seen the evidence needed to get him out of her life. Not even for the chance of meeting her would I have wished the added years of hell she’d endured at his hands before she found her escape and ran to her dad.
I’d watched him cry like a baby when he’d found the shrine empty. James had removed every semblance of her that he’d found even wiping the hard drive of his home computer but he’d taken his laptop with him and I’d seen that he had more pictures of her stored there. Josh was in the middle of figuring out how to break into that as well since he had it encrypted and even more secure than the other one. He’d gone into a rage when he found everything gone and then I’d watched as he’d combed his home for bugs and eyes. I’d also watched him watching her mom or who I assumed to be her mother. I wasn’t letting her in on what I was doing as yet so there was no way to find out but I was pretty sure it was Simone.
From his actions I’d also ascertained that he had her phones tapped and was listening in to her conversations and every night he did a search for Kadyn. He spent hours online looking for her using all her online screen names that he could only have gotten by hacking her computer like she believed. Tonight he was already at it, but I noticed in the last couple days that he was looking more and more unhinged. He wasn’t looking as put together as in the beginning, his hair wasn’t combed and his clothes were sloppy looking. He also seemed a bit pudgy as the tens of fast food wrappers he kept scattered around his desk attested to his deterioration. I loved every fucking minute of it.
