Chapter 63

"Well, Hector is ignoring my calls and hasn't spoken to me in a couple of weeks. It hurt when he cut all communication and it just didn't make sense. Then you were... uh..." She blubbered as she glanced at Virgil. "You had him around you all the time. I guess I started to wonder if something bad happened. If you were in some kind of danger. I was scared to say anything, but I was feeling guilty. I told Russel everything a couple of days ago, and he convinced me to tell you everything. I just hope nothing I've done caused you any trouble."

"Willis was playing you," Virgil said. "And your actions resulted in a lot of problems for many people."

I cringed a little at how unsympathetic he was. But he was correct.

"I'm sorry," she cried.

Russel put his arm around her shoulders, and I sighed. It wasn't going to do any good to continue berating her. I frowned at Virgil and he rolled his eyes in response.

"There may be something you can do to make up for it though," Virgil finally conceded.
