this morning #2214.

this morning, it looked like i had a full-blown scandal on my hands. despite my best efforts to keep the truth from coming out, one of the handful of folks who knew what’d gone on had tipped off a reporter & a story was about to go live. the whole fiasco had begun innocently enough. silly small town stuff. a friend asked if i could do him a favor. rattle his ex’s cage. i’m in a position of power & didn’t see the harm in helping him out. one monday, i had two of my guys go to the house of my buddy’s estranged spouse. ask her about a scenario that we’d made up. they had no way of knowing that what i’d told them was false. they kept pressing. she freaked out. asked them to leave so they did. left her on edge. mission unwittingly accomplished. no harm no foul…that is until now.
