Chapter.22 HALFCRAZY (PT.2)

      🎶 LISTEN TO THE MUSIC 🎶

Troy had tried to enjoy himself at the Veterans Ball, he didn't particularly care for these types of events. But as Admiral he was expected to show and give a speech, he had kept a close watch on his daughter most of the evening, but was called away by some other officers and then was to be on stage when an award was given out to a Veteran.

Towards the end of his speech, he glanced at a nervous Khris down on the floor. He searched the crowd looking for Kayla, she was nowhere in sight.

Then he searched the crowd looking for Michael, all he saw was the dark-red headed brown skin woman dancing with another Seal. But no Michael; Fuck!

When Troy stepped down off the stage finally, Khris ran up to him.

"Admiral Jackson, may I have a word, sir?" Khris asked.

"Where is she?" Troy asked, already dreading that answer.

Troy and Khris stepped a few feet away.

"Um, I'm not sure, sir," Khris stated nervously.

"What? What the hell do you mean you're not sure? I thought you two had been dancing," Troy asked, searching the large room for his daughter again, knowing in the pit of his stomach that she wasn't there.

"Well, we were, but then she excused herself upstairs. It took her a while so I followed her up there and she said she would be down in a few minutes, but she never did come down. I stood by the bottom of the steps."

Khris didn't know much about MT, but he felt ratting on him wouldn't be the wisest thing to do. But he was sure Kayla was with him, that hurt a bit. He and Kayla weren't dating or anything, but he had hoped maybe by summer's end they could have become an item.

Troy sighed, he was sick and tired. He wanted to go home. Damn that boy, as he thought of Michael.

Troy walked outside and went to retrieve his car from valet and Khris followed. As he was waiting on them to bring it around, he thought back on how he had found out about Michael and Kayla's relationship. He had already suspected something was going on while he was in the hospital, but a conversation he overheard a month ago, confirmed his suspicion.

He had been heading out of the office that day, Troy had only been out of the hospital for 2 days, but he felt restless at home and wanted to put in some hours on base. He still had a lot on his mind.

He always wanted to think the best of Michael, even when others said he was too unpredictable. But Troy had never had a problem with him, sure there were a few bumps and mishaps along the road but overall, he was a good kid who had been through some rough times.

As he was walking out, he noticed a light on in the left 23rd conference room, he also smelled contraband. Damn kids, he turns round the corner and heard them talking. He was about to tell them to knock it off and get back out of the conference room, when he heard Kayla's name.

He peeped around the corner and saw bright red hair which he knew belonged to Chase. One of his men. And a new guy, Jonathon.

"What? How long?" Jonathon asked.

"Not sure, but I heard Michael's been hitting it every night, lucky bastard," Chase answered back while passing the joint to Jonathon.

"Man, is she hot?"

"Oh, you never got to see her at her 18th birthday party. Shit man...she was wearing this little sexy dress, I wanted to bend her over the fucking punch table and fu--" was all Chase got out before the Admiral cleared his throat.

They both stood at attention immediately, dropping the joint to the ground and smashing it quickly.

Troy stared at both men for a few seconds, he then reached down to the floor and picked up the butt and threw it in the trash bin.

"At ease, gentlemen," Troy said, his heart and head felt heavy. Men on his base were talking about his baby girl in this manner, and it was all because of Michael. And he had known it but just didn't want to believe it.

He turned around and walked out feeling like a ton of lead was in his shoes that day.

When the valet brought his car around, he was headed in the direction of Michael's house. Khris seemed nervous but he didn't say anything.

But then, Troy thought about it. He really didn't want another confrontation, he had to think of a different method. So he turned off on the road to his house instead.
