Chapter 13
Isaac
Why in the hell was everything so chaotic lately? My business partners Asher and Elijah had women locked up in their basements with no real plan other than to keep them there. I didn’t realize we were in the capturing women business, but alas, here we were. The final partner, Jacob was on a rampage because Helka Island had a drug dealer plaguing the island bringing in contraband, and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out who it was. This little contraband issue was causing problems for me since I was the one heading the police force and security. I was fucking failing miserably right now.
What a shitshow.
Running a hand through my hair, I fell back into the soft leather armchair and groaned. Was nothing going to go right? I hadn’t been laid for weeks, so that certainly wasn’t helping the issue. Jacking off just wasn’t scratching the itch a soft, curvy woman could.
Then there was my father.
He was tormenting the ever-loving fuck out of me with questions about how Sophia was doing. If he was that concerned about her then maybe he shouldn’t have let her go. I wasn’t her damned babysitter. She was a grown-assed woman and she’d made her decision. While I hadn’t let on to her, I did stand by her decision to go to school in the US. She needed to break free from the influence of our family and lead a life she wanted to lead. He definitely treated my brother and I with much more leniency than he did his daughter. If I’d been in her position, I would have made a break for it well before she did.
But I had to admire her. She had the balls to go behind his back, enroll in college and stand her ground. And for that bravery, she’d get my support. Even if I liked to bust her balls on the matter. If things didn’t work out for her at college she was always welcome to relocate to Helka Island. I could have her a nice mansion built with an ocean view and it would be all hers – no strings attached. I was just waiting to see how this whole college thing panned out for her first. She was smart, admittedly smarter than me although I’d never tell her that. And I wanted to see how she’d grow and mature while out on her own.
But that was an issue for another day. For now, everything seemed to be quiet for her in school. I had a plant that was keeping tabs on her. She had great grades and she even joined the sorority. She was making the most of it and that was good.
I was about to begin going over paperwork when my mobile phone rang. The specific ringtone I’d dedicated to Flynn, the person that the family had planted at the college she was attending to keep an eye on her.
I told him to not contact me unless there was an issue so when I pressed the accept button to take the call and brought the phone up to my ear I did so with great reluctance. The last thing I needed was to make a trip to the States to deal with whatever mess she’d gotten herself mixed up in.
“Hello.”
“Is this Isaac?” the caller asked.
“Are you calling Isaac?” Idiot. Who the fuck else would it be?
“I am.”
“Then you’ve got him, what do you want?”
There was a hesitation. “I figured you’d want an update on your sister.”
“Okay, what’s the news? What’s going on?”
“It seems that she’s found herself a boyfriend.”
“And? I don’t care who she’s fucking. Is this person relevant?”
“As far as cartel or mafia, no, he’s not.”
“Then why do I care?” She was a big girl she could fuck the entire football team as far as I cared. Her sex life wasn’t my concern.
“I believe she’s having a relationship with her professor.”
My interest was piqued although I still wasn’t sure if I cared or not. “Go on. Who is this guy?”
“His name is Zack Von, he’s her sociology professor. I checked into him, he’s a quite a bit older than her. Thirty-five. I thought you might want to know. If she’s told him things, he could be hoping to strike a windfall being involved with her. Or maybe milk her for information and then start squealing to the authorities.”
Chuckling, I rolled my eyes. “The only windfall he’d get is a bullet to the forehead.” I’d guess the more likely explanation is that he’s hoping to score some young ass from his hot student. I’d have to give the guy some credit, he really did shoot for the stars. As far as the authorities being notified. I wasn’t concerned. We were untouchable. That being said, we did prefer things be kept quiet, just to be safe.
When I didn’t reply he continued, “Like I said, I thought you should know.”
“Noted. Thanks. I’ll let you know if we decide to come down for a visit. But in the meantime, send me everything you have on him.”
“On it, Sir. I’ll keep you updated.”
I didn’t bother saying goodbye and disconnected the call. Of course, Sophia would have gotten involved with her professor. She couldn’t just screw some random frat boy to get it out of her system. But was that problem even remotely important? I’d argue no, but in our line of work, it never hurt to be thorough. If something came of it and our father found out I didn’t follow-up it would be an issue. A little trip to visit baby sister may be in order after all.
I clucked my tongue off the roof of my mouth in consideration.
Maybe…
