Book 2: In the Life of Mia: College Chapter 73
Billy had finally sat down after pacing the room and looking at all the photos while he continued to tell me his side of what happened that night. “It just didn’t make since… my parents seemed to love one another so much, but my mother was sad, and she told my father she was pregnant, and it wasn’t his baby. He didn’t get angry at first and didn’t even talk for a good 10-16 mins… fuck maybe even longer and once he did talk he admitted that he had not been faithful either and that maybe they needed to think about getting a divorce. My mother of course cried not wanting that telling my father that she loved him and their life together and that she had a weak moment just like he did… being 9 years old I thought of my parents as my hero’s and of course didn’t understand a lot of what they were saying but as the years went on I learned. My father had his own business of finance and other things that just some don’t make sense and even seem like complete bullshit since he was good at getting money from anyone…” he had trailed off and I could see he was thinking to himself now. I continued to just wait and look through papers of his father’s that he had taken from the storage that his grandparents had opened before moving the children apart. I had found things hidden within documents that made his suspicion plausible as his father being a fraud and swindling people.
Billy finally started up talking again but this time wanted answers from me, “The look on your face tells me you found something that I have missed which is why I needed you, but didn’t expect it to be like this.” I could tell he was happy in a way that I was there in person but was afraid I was setting him up in a trap even though he searched me and searched my bike more than once. “Billy…. I am really here to help you and as you sit there thinking that I’m only going to keep you talking or whatever it is you are thinking about someone finding us… well to be honest I don’t even know where the hell we are and unless I have a tracker in my ass… ha-ha which they would have already found us by now… can you please just relax a bit more because you are making me nerves is not the best thing if you want answers so you can start putting your life back together. I know you don’t like that your sister is afraid of you and rather her be here with you instead of running errands all over the world and back” I looked at him and not taking my eyes off him until he focused on mine. “I’ve heard that before…. Yet they all lied to me and that’s why I tried hurting myself and hurt others. I was a horrible kid and my grandparents died because they couldn’t take it any longer even though they could have just given me up…” he became sad thinking about those moments in his little life.
After listening to him for a good 15 mins and the hurt I could hear in his voice I could not be quite any longer “Billy…. You seemed like you were a smart kid and happy once, don’t you want to be happy again and move on from this pain? Not that it’ll ever go away but it’ll get easier… I deal with a lot of pain of my own and if you know anything about me more than just who my parents and grandfather are and blaming them for saving you and not helping your parents even though the first responders tried and used all their training they had to save them. I know you’ve read the reports and saw you had died a handful of times… and instead of being thankful for it you are revenging your parents’ death and for what?” I as I was trying to get him to think like me which was probably not the best thing but needed him to let me in just a little. I was sure he heard me, but he just sat there so closed off and in his own world. “Not a good thing at all Mia….this man could snap at any second and decide you are not worth anything else especially his way of life that he knows” I thought to myself as I watched him just glossy eye me.
Billy got up slamming his fists on the table in front of us “I don’t need your pity or to get to know you more on another level, I’m not stupid you know and you are psycho-analyzing me. I don’t like it so stop” his anger was certifiable as he left the room. I wanted to stop him but also didn’t want to get hurt any more than I already was and as he left I got to work and really scanning everything in the room and taking mental pictures just in-case something happened to me. I checked everything on the table with focusing harder and zipping through the documents and photos and once through I went to the other room where I found Billy. He was listening to something on headphones and saw that he was researching more about me instead of the case as he was looking through newspaper articles that had my name in it. “WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING” I yelled out in anger as he was on the page about the girls and where they were buried. Billy jumped back a bit and looked up at me with now something else that I had not seen from him before then a hint of a frown drifted across his face and was gone a second later.
Billy stood to his feet and looked at me with a raised brow “Hmm just trying to get inside your head now since you think it’s ok to do it to me….very interesting that you have twin girls, and how did they die? From what I’ve read you were only about 18-20 weeks give or take, so you miscarried and now they are something you cherish… now that I’ve seen this we both might be a little of the same. Only in that we’ve both lost people that meant the world to us, but now I’m curious why you are getting so angry that I’ve found this out” a hint of a smile came across his face and I wanted to claw his eyes out. My head was aching along with my heart and one moment he was in my face and the other min he was flying across the room as I punched him with all the anger I had building up. “They are not up for discussion, since this is not about me and my life, but about you and me helping you figure this out. I believe you that it was not just an accident. I also know that your father was a piece of shit at least on one side while on the other side he lived a normal rich life. Now what went wrong, who was he in bed with as in business? I can’t find anything else about what he was doing on the side with this scam so I’m going to need your fucking help or I’m gone and you can either kill me right here and now or get the fuck up and stop acting like an asshole” I was so calm even I couldn’t believe what I had just done and even said to this man.
Billy got to his feet and I got into a stance that he wouldn’t be able to read even if he tried and would be ready for him if he even tried to come at me. Once he got his baring’s he laughed and this time it was a laugh that was genuine and a little irritating because I knew now that he knew he’d have to kill me if at one point he didn’t need me anymore or didn’t trust me. “Well your training is some of the best work I’ve seen, but now I’ve got my guard really up just like you so as long as you don’t try anything I won’t kill you with my gun. Now I’m sorry for asking about your girls, I know how it feels when people try to get to know you whether it’s for personal gain or whatever it might be for. I did my homework but your parents keep your lives pretty damned private and pays a lot of money to have it that way which I would not blame him, that’s the only reason I have not been able to get more than what I have. I tried using the lawyer who was on my parent’s case when my mother’s parents at first did not think it was an accident, but the evidence couldn’t prove them right. So as I was taken to Russia with my father’s parents my sister got to stay here and be happy while I was miserable and alone in a place I had only visited when I was a baby” his tone was a lot calmer and collected when he spoke.
