High For This

Chapter 6

 

" Sorry for wasting your time. I will be out of your hair in no time." Jamie said to Griffin as he packed his things. " Are you serious? You don't have to leave." He tried to stop him but Jamie had made up his mind. " I've made up my mind." They walked out of his room to the door.

" Well, at least join me for dinner before you leave," Griffin asked behind him. Jamie accepted and so they walked. There is a restaurant a few blocks down. Everyone likes going to it because it's outside. Griffin thought it would be good for Jamie.

The problem is Jamie couldn't imagine he would be encountering someone from his past. " Dad, what are you doing here?" Hector Torres, a criminal who works for Archer Valdrogen. Who is also Jamie's father? " Son, what the hell are you doing here?" A man sitting next to Hector turned his back immediately.

" He's your son?"

The man asking him is Peter Hough. His boyfriend and future husband. He works in the government passport office. Peter comes from a family of police and lawyers. Hector and he met when he got his passport. They've been lovers ever since.

" Who are you?" Jamie answered back quickly. Peter shook his head and introduced himself. " Peter Hough, your father's fiance." Griffin was in shock but not as much as Jamie. " You left Mom because you're gay?" Jamie taking a step back began to cry. He looked at them both in disbelief.

Hector was too manly and unbelievably gay. The black hair, the bushy eyebrows, and the beard. No one could think he was with a man. Peter on the side is a straight-up gay man. His perfect hair like James Dean, clean eyebrows, and perfect skin. The clothes he has on are expensive but fashionable like his shoes. His green eyes even sparkle.

" We need to talk, in private," Hector said in a low voice. " I can't. I'm leaving the city and moving somewhere else. You could've told me a long time ago." Jamie walked to an empty table and Griffin followed behind him. " Let's eat, I apologize for the scene." Jamie opened the menu and began to look for something to order.

" Jamie Torres, we need to talk now." Detective William, out of nowhere appeared in front of them. Everyone stared as he asked Jamie to stand up. His father was about to interfere but Peter stopped him. Griffin got up but Detective William told him to stay. He is taking Jamie around the restaurant.

" What the hell have you done? You quit your job and didn't think of telling me? My brother had to tell me. You're still a suspect in the death of your ex-boyfriend. The files I have could save you." Jamie trying to hold back his tears, walked away from him.

" You can't leave, even if you try. Stephan won't let you and more now. He has got a lead in the case. You're trapped and lost your only chance of getting out." Detective Williams yields to him. The echo of what he said could be heard. Jamie suddenly stood still and turned back to him.

" I had to quit. Those people were driving me insane." He shouted to Williams's face. " You mean Cooper and Adam. They did something to you, didn't they? Of course, they did. They do this to every girl or guy that gets hired there. I never told you about Nico Jaitson did I?"

Jamie nodded and asked who he was talking about. " This happened about a few years ago at the Valdrogen company. A boy named Nico got a job like yours in the company. Weeks later, he tried to take his own life. Twice to be exact and all because of something they did to him. We later found out that Adam's kid and his friends took him on a weekend getaway. They sexually assaulted him. When he tried to tell the police and Mr. Valdrogen. Both of

them ignored him. He out of his mind, went to Mr.Valdrogen and tried to cut his veins. Right now he is in a mental hospital. You could've stopped them once and for all. I guess that is all over."
