Chapter 21: Everybody’s got a secret.
The day after Josie met with her therapist, she had a meeting with her PO Georgia. It was then she learned they found out the truth about the Taylors.
“I’m sorry Josie.”
Those were the first words Georgia said to her; confused, Josie nodded her head.
“Ms. Georgia there’s no reason to apologize-”
“Yes there is. You were trying to tell me that day when you came to me about switching locations and…I wasn’t listening.”
Josie’s eyes widen; she didn’t blame Georgia for not knowing the truth. How could she. This wasn’t exactly a usual situation.
“Ms. Georgia, you don’t have to apologize. While I appreciate it, the truth of the matter is….this wasn’t your fault. My fam….those people…..they are the ones that did this to me.”
Georgia smiled lightly, regardless of who’s fault this was…she knew she wanted to help Josie.
“So…how can we help you.”
Josie was stunned, she hadn’t expected Georgia to say that.
“Um…I’m not sure what you mean.”
Georgia raised an eyebrow. She may not have understood everything that was going on, but she knew resolve when she saw it. Josie had resolve…she had determination…and she had hatred. Georgia recognized that look more than anything. She’d seen it countless times with many of her other parolees. But there was something different about Josie than the others…in her…she also saw revenge.
“Josie…I want you to know you have both my and Evelyn’s support. You’re not in this alone…let us help you.
Now, four months later…it was almost time for Josie to begin her take down of the Taylors.
“And nobody knows where he’s been these past four months?”
“No ma’am. It seems he’s been moving around. Four months ago he quit his job at Bridgeton’s women prison. Since then, he’s been on the move.”
“I see. Well, continue to try and track him.”
“Yes Ms. Bowen.”
Elizabeth Bowen sat the documents on Lawrence Tillman back onto her desk. For the past two months she had been trying to track him down with no luck. It was as if someone was making sure he couldn’t be found, and she knew exactly who it had to be….Christian.

Only he and Harlod had that type of power. She’d suspected for a long time that Vanessa was the one behind her being bullied and abused during her four years in prison. Now it seemed they were trying to cover up her mess at her expense once again. A sudden knock on the door jolted her out of her thoughts.
“C–Come in.”
Joshua walked through the door carrying a bouquet of flowers. For the past several months he and Josie had been working together with the openings of two restaurants and galleries. After they signed the contracts four months ago, Joshua explained his overall plan to help Josie climb up the professional ladder.
