071 Jinxed Marriage
Sebastian’s POV
Jim makes an “okay” gesture at me at the same time. They traced Liam Ryan’s location and he is telling the truth. Jim raises a paper at me, on which it wrote [stall, planting sniper].
“I’ll be there as soon as I can,” I speak into my phone, trying to think of anything to say to stall without him noticing, “Do you want me to bring Justin Roland with me? You think he is the murderer, no?”
He pauses, obviously taken by surprise at my suggestion.
“That’s true…yeah, take that bastard,” He grumbles, “His wife, too!”
“Okay, I’ll pick them up on my way over,” I assure him, walking out as I keep talking, “I didn’t know this had anything to do with his wife though?”
“That bitch spared no effort mudding my sparrow!”
“But-”
“Stop stalling and shut the fuck up! Or I might just kill one, just to pass time!”
!
He hangs up. I glance at Jim, and he nods: “You did good. I’ll come with. Brief me about this Justin person?”
Honestly, there isn’t much to tell. Justin has been with his current wife Annie Murphy since high school, and when I signed him, their background check came back clean. He proposed to Annie, and Annie accepted it. Their marriage was blessed by both of their parents, end of story.
Sparrow Ryan didn’t agree. She claimed that Justin was her boyfriend, and he only ditched her when he got famous.
An obvious misunderstanding, if not a lie. He didn’t get famous until I signed him, and I knew who he was at that time. That was why there was almost no room for the Ryans to turn it around in court, and even if that was true, Justin still held very limited responsibility when she committed suicide.
The cause of action the Ryans claimed was that Justin Roland promised to marry Sparrow Ryan, and when he broke that promise by marrying Annie Murphy, Sparrow Ryan only threatened with suicide to stop him from doing so.
