Tasting All My Mates

280 The DNA Test

“Zander! We don‘t need your negativity right now. If Thiago is under fire, so are you. Nobody knows if you were in the room when this happened,” I yelled at him and then rolled my eyes. Christina was right here, crying and not opening her damn mouth. If she tells us what happened, all this argument will go down the drain, but no! She has to wait till things turn dirty.

“Why didn‘t Thiago take me with him? If only he had done so, he wouldn‘t be under fire right now,” Lazlo complained. “Those two are treating me like I am useless. I want to be there for them and help them.” He picked a very bad time to make it about himself, but I didn‘t argue with him. My head was all over the place, thinking about what the future of Maynard would be now. He shouldn‘t have done that to himself.

“Is there a way we can save Maynard?” I asked Lazlo, knowing he must know the law better than me.

“If we can prove Mr. Tripper being guilty of something,” he stated, “It has to be huge though.”

“If Christina would just tell us what happened, we could do something,” I said to Lazlo, who was now standing in the other corner of the room while Zander consoled his sister.

“What do you think happened? Why was she in his office at this time of night?” Lazlo whispered back to me. There were many questions being raised about Christina‘s character at this moment.

“I am not sure. I didn‘t want to jump to any conclusions, but Maynard had sensed someone‘s scent on her the day we arrived at the cabin.” I remember Maynard being so disturbed that day.

“Do you think Christina and Mr. Tripper maybe were hay–––?” Lazlo didn‘t even want to finish it. Accusing someone of cheating on the basis of nothing was something we needed not to do.

“I don‘t know. I have seen him react in anger when he found out! cheated on him, but that anger only resulted in him rejecting me. I don‘t think he is capable of killing someone out of jealousy.” | wanted the reason behind Maynard killing Mr. Tripper to be Mr.

Tripper‘s fault. It is the only way we can save Maynard.
