Kapitel 44: Chapter 44

PIERCE

Either Katy wasn’t in her home tonight, like she was supposed to be, or she’d hidden when I stopped by and knocked for four minutes on my way to Frankie’s house. The problem with Katy was I didn’t know how to direct her. If I told her what to do, it was almost a guarantee she’d do the exact opposite. Bossing Katy around did not work.

But neither did asking nicely. I rescued her from jail and gave her a ride home. The only thing I wanted was for her to stay out of trouble. I wasn’t dumb enough to believe wherever Katy went off to she wasn’t causing a problem.

Especially since the person Ridge had watching her called to let me know she’d gone missing. Again.

The best-case scenario in the situation was her trying to avoid me.

This is what Katy had turned my life into. She had me excited over the possibility she was avoiding me. My cousin Jerome was right, Katy had me tied up in knots, and not necessarily in a good way.
