“Don’t let them break you, Spencer. Aiden and Ashley aren’t even close to being worth it.”
“They were worth it for you, weren’t they?”
She lowers her eyes, saying nothing.
I don’t need her to say anything. I don’t need her words. What I need now are Aiden’s words…Ashley’s words. And she has them.
“I need to know more Madison. This is my brother’s child we’re talking about. This is beyond who can turn the most tricks, ok? This is my family.”
“I wish that…”
“Don’t tell me what you wish you could do. Just tell me what I need to know.”
“I can’t.”
“You can’t?”
“They’ll kill me.”
“And I won’t?”
She shrugs, “Fine. Do it. Kill me.”
I smile, appreciating her attempt at valiance when we both knew she would cling to her lousy life until the moment it slipped away like hot, easy sin. Luckily for her and her remaining clients, all of my bullets had predestinations. They were all meant for the cold, lying bodies of Aiden Dennison and Ashley Davies—if those were in fact, their real names.
“Tell me what you can then. Tell me anything.”
“I know that they’re on their way to New York. Someone has a house there or maybe somewhere near there. I don’t know. But if you find them, Spencer, please don’t…”
“I won’t tell them I saw you.”
“Thank you.”
“What about Kyla?”
“I can’t say for sure.”
“You both knew the entire time what they had planned for me…but did Kyla have a role in…”
“I have no idea.”
“She changed her number.”
“I know.”
“You have the new one?” I asked, though it was a question with an obvious answer.
She sighed, growing restless in the desert heat, “Yeah, but she would know.”
Yes, my bullets were meant for the happy couple in New York—or near there—but I had other weapons as well. Weapons that could be Madison’s latest accessories at a moment’s notice.
“Madison, they have my neice. If that means leaving you here with more holes than you came here with, that would simply be an unfortunate roadblock on the way to getting him back.”
“Call from a pay phone or else she’ll know it’s you. She’ll know anyway, but…” she trailed off as she scrolled through her cell phone looking for Kyla’s number, “Here. But Spencer, this is it. I can’t give you anything else.”
“That’s all I need.”
“You know where she is?”
“Why do you think I’m sitting here right now?”
“How did you find out?”
I shake my head, “I can’t say.”
“Fair enough.”
We sit a moment more, staring out at the winding highway. One way takes you back to L.A. The other into Arizona.
“Well, this has been nice…” I say, anxious to get on the road.
“What are you going to do to them?”
“Who?” I ask with a knowing smile.
“All of them…Kyla, Aiden…Ashley.”
“Oh, well I hadn’t given it much thought. But I suppose I’ll torture and kill them. That seems like the fastest method of compromise. And when they call you—which I know they will—you can tell them that.”
“I’ll tell them you tried to see me, but I said no. I owe you at least that, I guess. I mean, at least.”
“We don’t owe each other anything anymore, but thank you.”
She nods, flashing a quick smile that reminds me of what I thought was a more simpler time. I watch her walk towards her car, before I make my way towards mine, listening to the roar of her expensive German engineering. But before she sped away, she pulled up next to me, looking me dead in the eye.
“He’s lied to her about you, you know. Just be careful what you believe. And remember everything, Spencer. Everything she said to you,” she says with uncharacteristic conviction, “Everything.”

I am so glad your back.Spencer with a vengeance is really hot.Anyways,great update hpoe to hear more soon.I just hope Ashley and Aiden get what they deserve.
Wow now that it’s clear this will be your last story and not a light hearted one maybe you should slow down with the completion of uncivil union? I have a feeling after a few chapters of this im going to be begging for a chapter of hilarious spashley neuroticism and sadly, there aren’t many of those left either :(
I have been one of your biggest fans, since you first started and just like good wine, you’ve only gotten better with time; like my fiancee. So, I know, you know you will sorely be missed, but at least we get this fine, fine wine before the curtain calls…cheers mate.

*cheers loudly* I am super pumped for the story after this intro. I must admit after the last line I tried to remember Spashley’s conversations in TDH, so now I’m in the process of reading it again and analyzing EVERYTHING. You definitely planted some things didn’t you? :)Eager for more!
