My Precious Euphoria

54.

Emilio

I shut the door for Kia as we tell everyone bye. It was a nice trip and somewhat relaxing for the most part. I needed this little vacation before I headed back into the hell of reality.

I get in the drivers seat checking my phone and see Aubrey has texted me back.

Aubrey: Yes sir! What can I get you?

I immediately text her back.

Me: I need access to all my dads files.

She begins texting me back instantly.

Aubrey: Sir I don't think I can do that. What if your dad finds out.

I knew I was asking her for a huge favor but I needed access to those files if I wanted more information.

Me: I understand that what I'm asking is risky but I have to know more about what's going on if I'm helping him.

Aubrey: okay. I'll copy them on a hard drive and I'll also send you access to see recent files and any other that come in.

Me: Thank you Aubrey, I owe you one. I text her.

"Who you texting?" Kia asks curiously. I didn't feel the need to lie so I tell her, "My dads assistant I need her to send me some files with some more information." I say starting to drive.

"Emilio I'm worried about you doing this." She says.

I scrunch my eyebrows, "Why?"

"Well I just don't want you to get hurt that's all. I don't know the full potential that these secrets are carrying and I'm afraid they will hurt you." She says.

I understood why she felt this way but I was already here and I never turn back from something I started.

I grab her hand and kiss it. "I promise I'll be okay. Trust me. I just need to know the real secret cause somethings just aren't making sense." I say. She nods and we continue with causal conversation.

We reach my house and I notice my uncle on the porch smoking a cigarette with his suitcases beside him. My uncle was leaving today but I remembered that before he leaves we would have a talk about what the hell is hiding in the dark.

"Hi Tommy!" Kia says waving and smiling.

"Hello Mrs. Scott." he says with the cigarette hanging on the edge on his mouth. I grab my suitcases from the truck while Kia goes to see Tommy.

"Are you leaving already?" Kia asks him.

"Yea I best be getting back to Italy I have business matters to attend to." He says and gives me a look.

"Well it was nice to meet you. When will you come back?" She asks. "For Emilio's graduation." He says, "and yours." He smiles at her.

"Okay! I hope you have a safe trip home. I better get home I have to prepare for when school starts in the next couple days. Bye Emilio love you." She says kissing my cheek and leaving.

"Call me when you get home!" I yell to her. She nods and begins to leave.

"You ready to go?" I ask him.

He picks up his suitcase and nods.

I drive my mustang. We had about 20 minutes until we were at the airport, but we sat in silence for about 10 minutes. I didn't know how to go about this topic.

Suddenly he breaks the ice, "I know your upset. I also know you know what your dads involved in." He says.

"And yes I'm also involved in that type of work." He says with no emotion. Just as I thought. I was so mad and upset that I didn't even know how to talk.
