Chapter XV

I love you, I hate you, I can't live around you..

Colin's POV

With every step I took, I became nervous as hell. Even though this was not Alastor's home. I felt this one would go far worse.

My phone buzzed signalizing I got another text.

It was a picture.

A man and a woman looking very suspicious, walking into the home.

It was a photo taken by LAPD.

That is Jennifer right there, Tom's ex, as well as yours.

I looked at Jason in the photo, he let himself go. I'm not saying he got fat but he looks sick. He has a messy beard going on, shoulder length hair that was frizzy, he looks pencil thin. He looks pale.

I guess now we must compare scars to see who's had it worse.

I stepped on the squeaky porch stairs of his, I ignored the ear piercing screeches and rang his doorbell.

As I waited I typed a text to my dad.

Get here soon. It is going to get ugly.

I put away my phone then a few seconds later there was shuffling behind the door.

"Ja-jason, its me.. Colin" I said out loud.

"Colin?" He asked quietly but I heard him.

"Yes, Jason, Colin, can we talk?" i asked him. Immediately in response, the door swung open.

There he stood. His long black hair was slicked back into a ponytail, his beard was trimmed and his eyes were lighter than I remember.

"Oh my god.. Look at you, you look great, do you want to come in?" He asked offering me his hand.

I shook it then agreed.

"Come in, come in" he said then followed me inside.

His home was clean, very neat.

I became suspicious immediately.

"Are you working? you're in gear" he said to me.

I looked down at my gear, "Yeah I am" I responded.

"Then what can I help you with?" He asked.

I turned around to face him.

I pulled up the photo.

"Where did you get that?" He asked looking at it intently.

"Co workers caught it. I'm sure it isn't much of a secret no more that my client had been in danger. So why dont you tell me what you know?" I crossed my arms.

"Look, princess-"

"Don't call me princess" I snapped.
