"What is it?"
"Adderall. A type of amphetamine."
"That's for ADHD. My friend in junior high had it. I didn't know Braden had it."
"He doesn't. He got the drugs illegally, probably from someone at Legion. They sell that stuff like candy there. It's easy to get."
"Why would he take it?"
"Makes him play better on the field. Sharpens his focus. Helps with endurance, stamina. It's become the drug of choice for athletes, especially football players, even at the pro level."
"And he just tosses it in a drawer? You'd think he'd be more careful about hiding it."
"You've seen how fucking crazy he gets if anyone touches his protein bars. That drawer is actually a good hiding place."
"Except when the maid refills the drawer." I look down at the pills in my hand. "What am I going to do with these?"
"Put them in a bag and do like Maria said. Give them to Brock. Let him deal with it."
"He won't do anything. Braden's got enough going on. Brock's not going to worry about this when Braden's been charged with murder."
"You still have to tell him. You don't want to be caught with it. At least leave it in his office. Don't keep it in your room."
Going to the kitchen, I find a plastic bag and toss the pills in it. I take it to Brock's office but the door is locked so I shove it under the door.
"Should I send him a text?" I ask Jackson. "Letting him know what it is?"
"It's better if you tell him in person. When's he coming home?"
"I don't know. He texted me during the game saying he was meeting his agent for dinner. I don't know if he meant here or in LA. Trystan said he was having Ana over tonight so maybe he'll be home later."
"Ana? The cook?"
"Yeah. She has a thing going with Brock."
"They're dating?"
"More like having sex. According to Trystan, she used to be a prostitute."
"No shit? I never would've guessed that. The one and only time I met her she seemed really quiet and shy. She wouldn't even look at me."
"I know. I couldn't believe it either. Hey, does Braden go to prostitutes?"
"Not sure. Why do you ask?"
"He always makes comments about not wanting a girlfriend and not wanting to take a girl on a date but there's no way he's going without sex. And when his friends complain about their girlfriends, he's always telling them to dump them and do what he does. I'm guessing he means going to hookers."
"It wouldn't surprise me if he did. He has the money to pay for it. And he can beat them around without getting in trouble for it."
"It pisses me off how much he gets away with. He does whatever he wants and doesn't get in trouble."
"Until now. His luck might be running out if they keep finding evidence that points to him killing Andrea."
"That bracelet they found doesn't prove anything. Even if she wore it that night, it doesn't prove he killed her."
"She was definitely wearing it. There's pictures of her online from that night. You can see the bracelet on her."
"They found blood on it. You think it's Andrea's?"
