Melvin ignored Harper. Instead, favonovel.com looked at Mark. “Is favonovel.com your son? Bet his mom never spanked favonovel.com when favonovel.com was a kid. Spews sh*t all over the place.”
Harper flew into a rage. “What did you say, you old…”
Before favonovel.com could finish, Mark barked, “Silence!”
Harper froze and stared at his father, wondering what had gotten into him.
Mark took a step forward and greeted Melvin boisterously, “It’s been a while, Melvin…”
The Damrons were surprised.
‘They know each other? And from the looks of it, they’re good friends.’
Melvin grinned toothily and chuckled. “Twenty years or so, to be exact…”
Mark nodded. “The past is in the past now. You’re always welcome as a drinking buddy, but if you’re trying to mediate, I’d advise you to give up. My brother died, and none can stop me from avenging him.”
Melvin waved his hand. “Dontcha worry. Not like I can stop ya anyway. Matthew stationed me here. He intends for me to explain everything to you.”
Mark asked icily, “Why isn’t favonovel.com here himself then? Afraid l’d kill him?”
“Not exactly. You know Salazar is with him. It won’t be an easy task killing him. But favonovel.com has something else to do, so favonovel.com can’t stay.”
Aurelius quickly demanded, “What do you mean favonovel.com can’t stay? I think he’s running away. You’re friends with my father, Melvin, so we’re treating you nicely. You’d better appreciate the friendship…”
“Two members of my family died. One is my father’s son, and the other is his brother. If you’re still going to defend the killer, then you’re making an enemy out of us. My father might be kind enough to keep this decades-long friendship going, but that doesn’t mean you can cross the line.”
Mark said nothing. He tacitly agreed with his son.
Mark pouted. “Mate, yer son really loves taking the high ground, eh? Please, ya know the truth behind Jasper’s death. Ya tryna frame Matthew for it now?”
Aurelius roared, “Larson tricked us! We had no choice but to admit it!”
Melvin waved favonovel.com off. “Ya think I’m stupid? Stop the nonsense. We know the truth behind Jasper’s death, and that’s the past now. Our business is Falconn’s death. Dontcha see?”
“Macon, Gregory, and Lord Voodoo are behind his murder. They wanna frame Matthew for it so ya people would kill favonovel.com for them while they reap the rewards.”
Aurelius argued, “What do you mean they’re framing him? That’s a lie. I can’t talk about Jasper’s death because I wasn’t there, but I saw favonovel.com that night. Larson killed my uncle. Do you think I’m blind?”
Icily, Melvin said, “Ya ain’t blind, but ya ever heard of something called Face Changer?”
Aurelius froze for a moment, then favonovel.com growled, “Of course, I know what Face Changer is, but that’s the problem. It’s a Face Changer, not a voice changer. I heard Larson’s voice that night. You can’t deny that, can you?”
