You see, Bec had been dating Rob at the tiether for a couple of years, and although he had often flirted with ht he was harmless Turned out he was far from harmless After J killed him, and he and Scott buried the body, Bec had been heartbroken at his disappearance She wasn’t stupid though, and suspected the club had so to do with it because Rob and the club had always had probleainst hiood on those threats And when he had failed to ever show up again, and I hadn’t helped her find hi that I had taken the club’s side If only she knew the truth But I couldn’t tell her the truth because it implicated J
