Great Exploitations (Crisis in Cali)
“After the sixth call from G, I’d just turned it off. I could have silenced the ringer of course, but turning off the phone was significant to me. That part of my life was behind me. The Eves were a chapter in my life I wouldn’t flip back to, and shutting off the phone was the first big step in the many that would follow.
I knew when G couldn’t get a hold of me, she would eventually show up at the condo to find out what had happened, so I had to be out of there before that moment came. I didn’t ...have a clue where she was or how long it would take her to get to Seattle, but I did know that I didn’t want to have to give my notice to her face. I wanted as much distance between us as possible when I told her I was washing my hands of the Eves. She didn’t know her precious Ten had all been a calculated ruse, and I didn’t want her to ever find out. I wasn’t a bad liar, but G could sniff out a lie like it was a sixth sense.
After packing up my whole life—which sadly fit into one large suitcase and a carry-on—I rolled my bags onto the porch and sat in one of the loungers, determined to listen to the ocean waves until I’d made sense of at least five percent of what I needed to work out.MoreLess
