"is that who i think is is?"

"who? who is that?" jason impatiently questioned. "do you know them?"

"used to know." i replied. "he was supposed to be my friend. how could he do this to me?"

"jesus christ, rhodes! who the hell is it?" jason questioned once more.

"it's my friend matt and it looks like he had some help."

"matt? as in the matt you questioned me about knowing?"

"yes."

"what the hell, rhodes? whose side are you on here?" jason yelled. "your fucking friend did this! this was exactly what i was talking about!"

"i'm sorry jason, i didn't know." i muttered.

"you didn't know? this is your damn friend and i told you not to talk about my kid to strangers! now look what happened, she's gone!" jason barked in my face. "i can't believe you rhodes. i trusted you."

"i didn't know this was going to happen. you're the one who told me that i was overthinking things so technically it's your fault." i said.

"my fault?" he scoffed. "he's your friend, you should've been watching him."

"and? chantel's your kid. you should've been watching her."

jason gave me a look of disgust before shaking his head in disbelief. "so you're going to turn this around on me? i should've figured." he walked back over to his side of the table and sat in his seat. "let's call it even and say it's both our faults."

that was good enough for me. jason left his office and went to tell the boys the news. i felt the slightest tangent of guilt because in a way, i knew something bad was going to happen. after piecing together the matt situation to the keegan losing chantel situation.

technically he didn't lose her. he actually gave her to matt. who would've thought? now that keegan was dead, there was no way we could figure out a motive. i guess i was smarter than jason after all. killing both keegan and isabella only made the problem worse.

we know who did the act but, we have no motive. ideas were circling in my head but nothing seemed logical enough.

why did he do it?

jason back into his office now even more mad. i hoped at himself when he realized he made such a stupid mistake. he took a seat and let out a long sigh.

"i hope you see what you did."

"excuse me?"

"look at what you did, jason. you turned this into an entire shit show!"

"me? turning this into a shit show? are you hearing yourself talk right now?" he nastily asked. "i think you've forgotten that it was you who told your friend about chantel. never did i ever have a gun pointed at your head telling you to tell anyone about her."

"okay but you killed keegan and isabella. for what?" i continued.

"are you still on this rhodes? i already told you why i did it! are you fucking deaf?"

"jason you killed the people who gave your kid up." i said. that last part got his attention. "you said you wanted closure meanwhile they more than likely held some key information as to why they did what they did. but no! little old jason had to think he was right by being trigger happy. news flash, asshole! we're screwed! if we knew what matt wanted or who he was working for, this would've been a hell of a lot more easier! but since you're always right and you do what you want, figure this out on your own. i'm not wasting another breath on you."
