Zack’s Toys

When he woke up, Derek staggered through a shower, dressed, and then found that little else had changed in his hometown. At ten o’clock at night, the only place open was a few bars, or the Waffle House in Kimble, Louisiana.

He saw that there was a text message from Citystar Electronics, once again firing him. And there was a pleasant sounding voice mail from Sophia Coutre, scheduling him for an eight thirty appointment the following day.

Nothing from Robin, but that didn’t surprise him. He probably already had one of his lovers in the queen sized bed.

Back at the motel, Derek turned on the fan in the bathroom and smoked a joint. Then he crawled back into the bed and slept again.

The meeting with Sophia Coutre, Zachary Taylor Miller’s attorney revealed that Zack had left everything to Derek. Zack had never married, had never had children, his only living relative had been a sister that disavowed any knowledge of her brother because of his sinful lifestyle.
