Kids don't pick up on love the way adults do. Plus, Elliot hadn't really spent much time around Zane, so he missed the whole 'Zane's got a thing for Elysia' memo.
"I've done some digging," Tarquin said, leaning against the kitchen counter, a sudden craving for a smoke hitting him. "Turns out, Zane's been carrying a torch for your mom for years."
Elliot frowned. "So, he's a jerk."
Marrying mom's best friend but still pining for her? From an emotional standpoint, that’s low.
Tarquin wanted a cigarette but didn't want Elliot inhaling secondhand smoke, so he resisted.
"He's not just a jerk, he's dangerous. Gage, the guy who messed with your mom two months ago? Zane took care of him."
Elliot blinked, taken aback. He knew about Gage.
He had planned to deal with Gage himself, but before he could, someone beat him to it. Despite trying, he never found out who it was—the culprit was too clean.
Turns out, it was Zane!
If that was true, then stepdad was right: Zane wasn't just a jerk; he was dangerous!
The thought that someone so dangerous was lurking around his mom sent a shiver down Elliot's spine. After a moment of collected thought, he turned to Tarquin.
"Thanks for letting me know. I'll keep an eye on him from now on."
Tarquin just grunted, then asked, "So, you think Zane's the mystery guy?"
"I don't know... Have you ever crossed paths with Zane before?"
The moment Elliot asked, Tarquin knew where he was going with this.
They were on the same wavelength.
Tarquin furrowed his brows, sighing. "That's what's been bugging me. If this mystery guy wanted me dead, we must have some bad blood. But I've looked into Zane. We've never crossed paths. I can't find a motive for him wanting me dead."
