Brad had read the note a hundred times,
“You need to be at 1017 Maple
Drive at 8pm, tomorrow night, the rest of your life depends on it,
Madam Eva sees all.”

Brad had thought he had gotten away with it. He thought about that
night over and over for almost a year. That SOB had beaten his
mother for the last time. He had planned it down to the smallest
detail, and could not imagine where he had been observed. He had not
slept in months, that night flashing before him in a continual loop.
Now he was being blackmailed.

He called his best friend Steve; he had to talk to someone. Brad
explained everything that happened the night he killed his
stepfather to Steve, he then turned and asked what he already
knew in his heart.

“What do I do now?” Brad asked. “I am being blackmailed.”

Steve looked at his best friend and could see the pain in his eyes
but Brad knew he was a cop. He knew before he asked that Steve would
have no choice.

“Brad, I have to take you in.” Brad swallowed and asked his friend

‘Will you take care of the blackmailer?”

“Let me see the note.”

Steve read the note and a lump gathered his throat and he groaned. “

What is it?” Brad asked

“Brad this isn’t a blackmail note, it’s an invitation to Lucy’s physic
party, I got one too.”
