𝗔𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗛𝗨𝗘 of the afternoon started to subside into early evening, Spencer found herself in her front yard with a trash bag and a pocket full of pent-up frustration whilst she delicately picked up the leftover trash that was still scattered around the perimeter of her yard.

In amongst the thicket of ripped apart garbage were a couple more envelopes. 2 to be exact. All from County Corrections and all of them scorched at the helm with the tip of what Spencer suspected to be a lighter. And the dates at the top had been once again, from over a year ago. A year before Andrei and his explosion of a getaway. A year before their lives turned into a bigger catatonic fuse bomb than it already was. More assumptions fell into fruition and it made her want to reach into the caverns of her warped little head and rip them right out. Blaze it. Crush it. Anything.

Nostalgia was a cruel mistress. It had a way of mudding memories and painting the prettiest pictures, when realistically, the canvas was stained with screaming, fighting and the occasional dish slamming against hardened linoleum. Her father had never been a perfect man, in fact, he'd been in cuffs more than a couple times before his inevitable arrest. Mostly for small minor things. But not enough to seal onto his record.

People had a nickname for him too. Big Ed. Or Gentle Giant. Gentle Giant was mainly due to his gargantuan height and staunch build that didn't match his reserved and observant nature. And Big Ed was a footnote place-marker that Kev and a couple other guys at the Alibi used to differentiate her dad from Karen Jackson's dad with. Who also happened to be named Eddie too, unfortunately.
