“Thank goodness for that.” They both laughed that time. It relieved so much stress about this place. “I wanted to ask you something. I was wondering if you could give me a reference so that I could get a car loan. Doing this is wonderful, but I’m going to need a part-time job to make ends meet.” She turned and looked at him.

  “You should be getting paid?” Ayden told her that he didn’t need to be paid so long— “No, I’m serious, you should be getting paid all along. I’d never expect anyone to be working for me that isn’t going to get paid. That’s not…I’ll look into what’s happened in the morning. All this time, I thought…Do you think that your brothers aren’t being paid either? Christ, when I think about how many billable hours I’m going to owe Devlin if he’s not being paid either. I might have to keep my doors open just to pay him off.”

  “He’d not want you to do that, Brandy. I hope you know that.” She laughed, telling him that she’d been kidding. “Good. That kind of scared me a little bit.”

  By the time they were all headed home, over two hundred shallow graves had been found. A great many of them only had one person’s parts in the grave, but a lot of them had more than three sets. It was enough to give him nightmares for the rest of his life.

  Climbing into his bed, he was going to use some of his money. He hoped it was enough to get him a new mattress. Maybe some new towels. He laughed when he thought of some of the towels that his family used when living at home. The first towel that he ever had with nap and was thick was when he moved in with the Wilkins family when his mother had been arrested. He was going to get him some special things that he had picked out. He didn’t care if they were new or antiques. Ayden wanted a home that was his and his alone.

  “If only I’m going to be making enough money.”
