Chapter 1—When Golfing Goes Wrong…

"I've already lost one son," said Eddie. "I'm not going to lose another." Eddie made a move to stand up but Hank held out his hand.

"We're not done," said Hank.

"Oh yes, we are," said Eddie.

"No, we're not," said Hank softly and cold.

"We have nothing left to talk about," said Eddie. "Seeing as how—"

"Evan," said Hank. Eddie looked up shocked.

"What about him?" asked Eddie.

"Evan is still under the impression that you are a decent human being," said Hank, "and even worse a good father."

"And you're going to tell Evan what a big bad scary person I am?" asked Eddie sarcastically.

Hank leaned across the table. When he spoke, he spoke so softly that only Eddie could hear him, "I don't know what your game is and at the moment, I really don't care. But I swear to God, if you hurt my brother, I will hunt you down and kill you."

Hank looked so serious and deadly that Hank thought he saw a flicker of fear in Eddie's eyes. Eddie then quickly got up and walked away. Hank couldn't help but smile a little bit. He could be a pretty scary guy when he wanted to be.

Evan R. Lawson was sitting out on the patio working on income statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements for HankMed when he heard a car horn beep. He turned and saw his father sitting in his expensive SVU.

Evan got up and walked over to the car. "Hi Dad."

"Hi son!" said Eddie enthusiastically. "What are you up to?"

"I'm working on some financial data for HankMed," said Evan, "you know my job."

Eddie smiled, "Not today, my boy! Today you and I are going golfing! I got us a tee time at the Maidstone! What do you say?"

"Wow," breathed Evan. "That does sound like fun…" He paused and shook his head. "I really do have a lot of work…"

"Oh c'mon Evan!" said Eddie. "Play hooky with your old man! It will be fun I promised."

"I don't know…" said Evan thinking.

"Please," said Eddie, softly. "Spend some time with your dad. Please."

Evan sighed, "I suppose I can finish my paperwork tomorrow…"

"Yes!" shouted Eddie. "That's the spirit! Now c'mon!"

Evan smiled. "All right, just let me grab my golf bag!"

"So did I tell you that you'd have a good time?" asked Eddie. He was sitting in the driver's seat driving home from the golf course.

"Yeah," said Evan. He smiled. "It was pretty fun."

"Yes it was," said Eddie, "see your old man is still pretty hip."

"Um, Dad, do you mind slowing down?" said Evan. "The speed limit is only fifty-five."

Eddie waved his hand, "Don't be such a goody-good shoes. Have a little fun."

"I do," said Evan, grabbing the door handle. "But these curves are really sharp and…"

"Oh Evan," said Eddie, waving his hand. He looked over at Evan. "You need to relax."

"Yes but the curves…" started Evan but Eddie cut him off.

"You're turning into your brother," he said

"DAD LOOK OUT!" shouted Evan, pointing ahead. Eddie looked up and saw that he had drifted over into other lane. Another car was in the other lane, heading directly at them. The driver was honking their horn madly.

Eddie jerked the wheel hard to the right, managing to pull the car out of the other lane just in time to avoid a head on collusion with the other car. However Eddie had jerked the wheel too hard the right and the car was going off the road. Eddie tried to regain control but it was too late. The car went over the slammed into the guard rail and bounced back before slamming into a tree. There was the sound of metal against metal and then metal against wood and glass breaking. Then there was silence.

Oh no! Horrible cliff hangers!

Next chapter will be longer I promise. This just seem like a good place to break.

Please R&R!
