GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY CHAPTER 92: THE SECOND WARNING*
THE SECOND WARNINGThe police officers arrived at the SUV even before those inside reacted. One of the officers moved toward the door by Nathan, and another approached the passenger side.Aaron did not move. He just looked through the windshield at Commissioner Hawthorne. The two men looked at each other for a couple of seconds. Then Aaron smiled."You're making a mistake."Hawthorne did not change his facial expression. "Get out of the vehicle.""You already let me go.""I did.""Your sheriff did."Hawthorne's eyes became even colder. "Do not confuse corruption with the law."Aaron's smile faded. An officer who stood next to him knocked on the window."Mr. Thompson. Step out of the vehicle."Aaron slowly turned his head toward Jake. "Stay here."Jake swallowed. "Why?""Because I'm asking you to."Aaron stepped out of the vehicle. The officers immediately approached him. Aaron raised both hands."Easy."Hawthorne observed all of this several feet away from the scene. Aaron looked arou
GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY CHAPTER 91: THE WARNING
THE WARNING Ethan stared at the message until the words became blurry.*YOU SHOULD STOP ASKING QUESTIONS.*His thumb hovered over the screen. And then another message appeared.*NEXT TIME, WE WON'T WARN YOU.*He swallowed hard. Several seconds passed before he managed to move. Laughter of students echoed in the corridor, lockers slammed, somebody yelled from the stairs. But Ethan couldn't hear anything else. Nothing but the tiny screen in his hands mattered to him right now.Somebody knew. Someboby saw him. And someboby somehow knew that he was asking questions."Ethan."He looked up. Blake stood a few feet away from him."What did they say?"Ethan remained silent."Tell me!" Blake walked closer. "Ethan!"He finally turned the phone around. Blake read the messages, and his face instantly became harder."Who sent it?""I don't know.""Can you track the number?"Ethan shook his head. "It's blocked."Blake took the phone from him and stared at the screen. "When did you get it?""Just no
GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY CHAPTER 90: THE FIRST MOVE
THE FIRST MOVEThe next day, Aaron Thompson woke up sure he had won. He stood in front of the mirror in his bedroom, adjusting the collar of his shirt and humming. After two days, he finally wasn't woken up by a knock on the door, a cruiser parked outside, detectives asking questions, handcuffs threatening. He was left alone. In silence.Aaron smiled at his reflection. "This is what money buys." He buttoned his sleeves and went to put on a watch.The door opened behind him. Blake walked in. "Are you going somewhere?"Aaron looked at him through the mirror. "Yes.""Where?""Outside."Blake frowned. "That's not an answer."Aaron turned around. "Since when have you the right to demand answers?"Blake did not reply. He simply watched his brother. There was something new in his posture. Not physical – the expensive clothes, the cocky attitude, the cold eyes were still the same. But Blake had grown accustomed to Aaron well enough to recognize nervousness in him."Are you sure everything is
GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY CHAPTER 89: THE MEN WHO CAN'T BE BOUGHT
CHAPTER 89: THE MEN WHO CAN'T BE BOUGHTThe last thing Commissioner Daniel Hawthorne hated about his job was wasting his time. He hated the bureaucracy, he hated politics, and most of all he hated corrupt cops.The door to his office flew open with enough force to jolt his certificates from the walls. Hawthorne strode inside with an impressive case file under one arm and some papers crushed into a ball in the other hand. His secretary looked up."Sir?""Not now."She knew better than to try to talk sense as he strode into his office and slammed the door behind him. It slammed and then quieted as Hawthorne dropped the case file down on the desk and watched it slide across the surface to crash against his nameplate–COMMISSIONER DANIEL HAWTHORNE.Standing with both palms flat on the edge of the desk, he stared at the crime scene photographs laid out in front of him. Pictures of a dead pharmacist. A second corpse outside. Bullet casings. Blood stains. Then the surveillance shot–Aaron Thom

CHAPTER 88TRUTHS DON'T STAY BURIEDStudents rushed out of the classroom in an excited wave. Chairs screeched along the floor as they spilled into the hall, chatting loudly about homework.Tom leaped out of his seat almost instantly."Dude!" He grabbed hold of Ethan's shoulder even before he could get to his feet. "Explain everything."Ethan sighed. "I already did.""No." Tom crossed his arms over his chest. "You gave me the speedrun version." His voice dropped low. "Now I want the director's cut."Ethan snickered despite himself. "You truly can't take a hint.""Nope." Tom threw an arm around his shoulders. "And you're getting lunch.""I don't even have any money.""Then I'm getting emotional support from you.""...That's not how that works.""Today it does."They walked out of the classroom. More students flowed around them, most ignoring Ethan but a few giving him looks, some whispering. He tried to ignore that as well."...You think people know?" Ethan asked in a whisper.Tom looke
GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY chapter 95
PRACTICEBy the time the football team took the field, the bleachers were already filled with girls. They formed tight groups at the bottom with their phones in hands, giggling every time one of the players ran past them to take a drink of water.Dylan sat a little higher up, a few rows behind, with Lucas sitting next to him. He held a textbook over his lap, one he clearly wasn't going to read.He was just wasting time. That was the lie he told himself. He had been telling himself a lot of lies lately.Every few seconds, his eyes drifted back to the same place on the field–to the tall, broad-shouldered guy doing drills close to the center. Dylan caught himself looking at Logan and looked away immediately, only to do the same three seconds later."Okay." Lucas snapped his own book shut. "What happened back there?""What?" Dylan asked absentmindedly. "In class." Lucas cocked his head to one side, studying him. "My brother asking to partner with you. That's–Dylan, that's never happened.
GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY CHAPTER 27: UNDER THE BLEACHERS
UNDER THE BLEACHERSThe heavy grunts of the footballers practicing echoed across the field as Ethan dropped down on the grass beneath the bleachers. He spread his notebook across his laps, flipping through the pages as he sipped his soda. The metal beams above him rattled occasionally whenever some
GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY Chapter 3: THE TASTE OF REGRET
THE TASTE OF REGRETThe house carried the strong smell of beer–one that Ethan knew too well. It mixed with the faint scent of cigarette smoke clinging to the couch cushions and curtains, welcoming him as he opened the door. Coughing, he pushed through the ash cloud as he prayed his brother was alr
GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY CHATER 2: KISS ME LIKE YOU HATE ME
KISS ME LIKE YOU HATE MECoach Daniels' sharp whistle rang out, echoing across the empty court. The sound of squeaking shoes and quickened breath filled the space as everyone huddled at a corner. “Alright, y’all pair up,” Coach Daniels shouted in a thick southern accent, as he grabbed a basketball
GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY CHAPTER 1: DREAMS, DESKS AND DIRTY THOUGHTS
DREAMS, DESKS AND DIRTY THOUGHTSHis hands were everywhere and his kisses were like fire, burning with passion. Blake ran his hands over Ethan's body before pushing him hard, pinning him against the locker. The cold, metal surface bit at Ethan's skin through his shirt but he didn't mind it. He wan
