Grim Road *Stopped*

Grim Road - Chapter 15

Jadeyn’s POV

“Well, That was interesting.” I said, “What should we all do now?”

“I don’t know.” Ash took my hand in his and smiled at me. “ But I know a few things that we could do.” He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and I laughed at him and kissed him on the cheek.

“EW!” Jackie yelled. “ Okay if you are done now!” She looked between us. “ I say we go to the library and find out where he was buried.”

Ash sighed. “ I guess that will have to do.” He squeezed my hand and I laughed again.

After the short walk to the library we all sat down at a computer and started researching. Except for Felicity who went to look for death records or books or something like that. Nerd! We had all been researching for about an hour and had

only come up with dozens of versions of the bombing story and the policeman that had saved the attack.

Stacey leaned back into her chair and dropped her head back. “We are never going to find anything!”

Just then Felicity walked back into the room saying,  “ Look guys! I found something!”

I burst out laughing at the coincidence. I don’t think Pine’s the only one who’s a psychic…

Ash smiled at me when he saw me laughing. He leaned in closer to me.” Laughing. Definite turn on.”  That just made me laugh more. But Jackie stopped laughing.

“Ew!” What did I say guys? Jeez! Does no one listen to me?” She sighed sarcastically shook her head and returned her focus to Felicity. “What did you find?”

“Well,” Felicity began then led us over to a small table. “Let me read it to you.”

“  Jeremiah Rochester died on February 8th 1991.  He died in his cell at exactly 5:00pm. He passed just two years after his attempted suicide bomb in “89”. He now lays in Las Vegas ,Nevada. A place he always wanted to go.”

Felicity looked up from the paper to us. “Well?” she asked.

“Well,” Stacey began. “ I think that was a pretty crappy piece of writing. But I think we should go to Las Vegas, Go to every cemetery we can find, look for his name then wait.”

“Wouldn’t that take to long though?” Ash asked.

Stacey glared at him. She didn’t like being wrong. “What is your idea hotshot?” She asked.

Ash just sat there deep in thought until he just flipped her the bird. Jackie, Felicity and I burst out laughing while Stacey just gasped and Ash chuckled to himself.

“I am in for Stacey’s plan if we are allowed to.” I said when I calmed down a little.

“Me too.” Felicity said.

“Me three!” Jackie said. Then we all turned to Ash expectantly.

“Fine.” He grumbled. Then we all cheered until we got “shushed” by the librarian.

“Daddy,” I looked up at my dad putting on my best puppy dog eyes. “ Can me and my friends go to Vegas on the weekend?”

I swayed from side to side. “Pwease.”

“Why?”

“Oh, Ash’s Grandparents are buried there and he wants us to see and visit them.” Wow that was a horrible lie. I winced inside hoping my dad wasn’t going to see through the lie.

“Who’s taking you?” He asked looking down on me as if trying to crack me.

“Felis is.” I said trying to stay strong. “ She’s the only one who can legally drive.”

“You know your underage.” He still looked skeptical “ No Casinos, No drinking and NO getting married!”

My dad loved Ash. Hm Weird. But I wasn’t marrying anyone. I might get drunk though… “Of course dad.” I sighed pretending to have already known this.

“I guess.” He said and pulled out his wallet. “He was about to give me money before he pulled it back. “ Where are you staying?”

“Mandalay bay.” I said automatically. It was a 5 star hotel and we had all said to say that we were staying there.

“Okay.” He said handing me a wad of money. “This is for meals and a hotel room only! And you get your own room! Or with one of the girls!”

“We are all sharing a room dad. A big one with 4 beds. So I am bunking with Stacey.” Another lie. I was sharing a room with Ash in a little cheap motel across from a graveyard. I wasn’t sure what Ash and me were planning to do but we’ll see…

“Alright. “  He looked down on me. “ Here’s $1000.”

I looked down at the money baffled. $1000?  WOW! That’s a lot of money? I walked over to my dad and gave him a hug.

“Thank you so much!” He ruffled my hair which :I normally hate but right now I didn’t care.

He leaned down and whispered in my ear. “ We are just going to have work on your mother though.” I pulled back and nodded.

My mom and dad have been married for 15 years. My dad was the one who let me do anything I want. I always asked my dad before my mom. My mum will need some encouragement to say the least.

“I’ll let you handle her though. You’ve been married to her and are the love of your life.” I put air quotations around the last part of the sentence.

“Fine.” He grumbled like a little kid and started to march up the stairs to their bedroom. As soon as he was out of sight I started to jump around fist pumping until I got tired and collapsed onto the couch.
