Fucking Theo

Fucking Theo

Tucker

I’m right in the middle of something. But Fucking Theo. I’ll make the shirts.

Maverick

God, I hate that fucking guy. You know, he was saying some fucked up things at golf when I saw him. About how she was his girl, and he wasn’t letting her go. It felt off. He had been drinking, but has anyone heard through the grapevine if there are any other substances at play? I mean, the guys a dick, but this goes beyond that. I’m sure he knows she went home with Donovan after darts, and I bet that pissed him off. What’s he doing to her?

Bennett

I don’t know about other drugs, but he’s stalking her, dude. Straight up. Like disconnected cables on her car to strand her, showing up places, and shit like that.

Maverick

Fucking Theo. Is she ok?

Murphy

I think Batman has been taking care of things.

Donovan

Not sure I know you well enough to say fuck off, but fuck right off.

Maverick

Seriously, jokes aside, is she ok? I don’t trust Theo as far as I can throw him.

Donovan

She’s freaked out, but we’re all watching out for her now.

Murphy

Especially you

Donovan

God, you’re like the annoying little brother I never had.

I laughed, but a pang of guilt hit me like a ton of bricks. Was I truly the tipping point for the whole thing? Audra said that this behavior was new. I knew she mentioned she thought the trigger was me, but I didn’t comprehend the gravity of that statement. In theory, I suppose it could have happened with anyone she would have been with next, but it was me. I hated that.

Donovan

But question for you, Murphy. How did he get access to under the hood of her car?

Murphy

The easiest way would be he has a key. Audra’s had that car forever, so he could have kept it from when they were dating. He could have used jigglers or upped the ante with something techy. It was clearly not an accident, but I don’t know what the end game there would have been. For her to call him? He’d be the absolute last person she called.
