*Adam* The bed is empty, and from the looks of things, there’s been a struggle here. My mouth hangs open as I stare from the unmade bed to Shelby and back again. “What the fuck?” she asks, looking around the room. Without waiting for me to say anything, my wife runs to the adjoining bathroom. “Ros
Dropping the duvet onto the bed, I say, “Shelby, I am the authorities. Unless you think someone higher up than me is going to come in here to investigate, I’m as authoritative as it gets, and not only do I doubt that King Gene will be coming to investigate, but I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t want him
