"Mum can you believe this bullshit"
"Sit down and respect your brother's wishes"
"Wishes?,....Mum that will can not be valid, okay, it just can't. My level headed brother would not do something so drastic without informing his family"
"Well, I would beg to differ on that point,he decided to stay away from his family just because he was sick,I would call that drastic"
"Dave....!"
"Dad...!"
"What?,I am certain I said what has been on everyone's mind this past few days,the maids have been disposing uneaten meals and clearing up broken figurines just because we lost a son...a son who decided the last four years of his life was not worth living with his deranged family".
"Dave....!",the heartbreak obvious in Bessy's voice.
"Come on,we lost a son,Dylan lost his brother,his friends lost a friend too so can we just keep the yelling at a down low, fulfill his wishes to a latter and get on with our lives,can we?"
"Dad, seriously?",Dylan muttered shaking his head in an attempt to clear his father's words.
"David,how dare you speak so disrespectfully of my son,how could you?", Bessy asked her husband "How dare you,you fool?"
"Richard is dead,okay,he is dead and he is never coming back,we will never see him again,you all should get that into your thick skulls and get on with your lives".
One resounding slap,two heavy footsteps,the slamming of doors and of course the screaming and breaking of more figurines concluded the conversation of the bereaved family.
Dylan Prescott,one hell of a practical man decided to take matters into his own hands,I mean who else could he hurt, right?. Dylan involved the help of a good friend and private investigator Adams Suzenne to find out exactly who Leslie Brooks was and a few days later the results of his nosiness arrived with the mail. He was surprised at how pristine her records were,no court case,no police arrest,no drug dealings,no nothing,not even a speeding ticket or parking ticket and what kind of super human could achieve all that.
Enraged and hurt, Dylan decided not only to investigate Leslie Brooks but also transfer all his anger, frustration and hurt towards the innocent woman.
How dare she worm her way into his brother's life,what a whore, she may not have a criminal record in the eye of the law but she is a criminal alright. An interloper, a slut and whatnot. But despite his crude thoughts,he did wonder how anyone could be so pure in the eye of the law,even he had enough speeding and parking tickets to feed an entire country, albeit a small one.
A trip to the hospital where Richard died,a visit to the doctor, another trip to his brother's New York apartment, bags parked, plans made and airplane ticket at hand, Dylan was ready to fulfil his brother's wishes but only because he needed to see what leech Leslie Brooks was one on one.
