“What do you mean?â€? I yelled.

Jack sighed and spoke as if he were talking to a child. “Trey is in jail.â€?

“I know that! What happened?â€? His expression told me to let him inside but I wasn’t too sure.

Jack decided for me. He pushed the door open and seated himself on the couch with his hands on his knees. “I’ll keep my hands where you can see them.â€? Oh yeah, that’s helpful. I could always see his hands anyway, whenever he attacked me.

“Well then?â€? I left the door open and sat down across from him.

“The police found him in an alley with pot. Said they got a call …â€? the rest of Jack’s words faded away. A call? A call? JAMES ? No, he wouldn’t! DUH ! Yes, of course he would!
