"Tara’s hopeful look turned to one of bitterness. She scoffed and briefly looked at the sky
before answering the questions.
“My aunt was a slutty, gold-digging, whore. She never gave a damn about my Uncle, and she
certainly didn't love him.” Steele
waited for an answer to his first question.
When it became obvious that Tara wasn't about to give one without some
prodding Steele looked at Tara and waited patiently until she reluctantly
continued.
“Come on Steele; you owe me. I saved your life in the Bahamas” Steele
waved his hand. “Whoa, I've already
decided to take the case, but I need you to be straight with me baby girl. I need to know what the hell I'm getting
myself into.”
Tara explained how two years ago her Uncle Kevin
caught his wife in bed with another man.
He shot the man, but he survived.
The incident was covered up. "It’s
a small township; my uncle donates heavily to a lot of local organizations
including the homeless shelter and the Police and Firefighters Fund. It took a little persuading and a lot of cash
for my aunt’s lover not to press charges.
The revised story was that he was a house guest that wandered into the
dimly lit bedroom and that Uncle Kevin though he was a bugler. After
the shooting, he vowed to kill her if he ever caught her with another
man."
