The Lead on Deirdre-Where Is It?
Julia felt both shock and worry roll into one. She lurched and helped her up, demanding, “What’s
wrong, Deirdre? Why were you hiding in the closet? And God, why are you shaking so much!?”
Deirdre’s lashes were quivering. She desperately sought her voice, and when it finally came out like a
leaky whisper, she exhaled, “I’m… fine…”
“Miss me with that bullsh*t!
You look like you’ve seen a ghost!”
Deirdre sputtered out a dry laugh. It was as if she had a brush with Death itself-and for now, she lived.
“I’m fine, really. I… I just need a favor. Please, Julia.”
“W-What kind of favor?”
Deirdre closed her eyes. “Don’t ever tell anyone my name.”
“Your name?” Something larger than confusion and questioning loomed over Julia.
“Why?”
Unpacking the entire complexities of her life was too grueling, so Deirdre simply replied under her
breath, “I know you’re a good kid at heart, Julia, but there are some things I can’t tell you. What I can
say is that I’m not a bad guy and haven’t committed any crime. I just can’t let other people know my
name or my identity, especially the man who came in.”
‘You’re talking about… Brendan?”
Deirdre knew she had to bet on a believable lie to save herself. “It’s… It’s my boyfriend. He did
something by accident and incurred Brendan’s wrath. It was a business issue.”
Julia was shocked. “How!?” ‘You know what it’s like with business. Someone set my boyfriend up and
threw a wrench into his deal with Brendan. Things got so heated up it left us no choice but to run to
Surstate. But Brendan… he came after us! If he finds out about me… he will find out about my
boyfriend, and he… My boyfriend will be dead!
“I am blind, Julia. I can’t live alone. If something happens to my boyfriend, I… I won’t be able to live
anymore!”
Deirdre had never wanted to try gaining sympathy from others through her disability, but right now, she
did not have a choice.
Sympathy and hesitation surfaced on Julia’s face. As a few had noted, she was never truly a bad
person at her core-and now her innate kindness, combined with her personal affection for Deirdre,
compelled her to help. She could not bear to leave Deirdre alone and helpless, so she nodded.
“Okay. I won’t tell him your name even if he asks,” she promised. Then, as her mind raced back to the
strange, almost obsessive attitude Brendan displayed, she lowered her voice and added a warning,
“But I won’t be able to stop him from searching for you on his own.”
“It’s okay. You’ve done a lot with just that.” Deirdre took a deep breath.
” Can I leave early today? I… I need to talk to my boyfriend about this.”
“Alright.”
She bade the Wards farewell. Even as she walked out of the house, her knees wobbled. A fog of some
kind was shrouding her brain-she almost suspected all of this to be a dream. The word “coincidence”
just did not cut it! She had just gotten employed as a piano teacher only to be revealed that, in a twist
of fate, the professor was Brendan’s teacher!
And they almost met!
Deirdre pulled out her phone shakily. It was still too new to her, so she fumbled with the buttons for a bit
before finally hearing the dial tone. When the call connected, she could hear construction sounds from
Tobey’s end.
He found a place quiet enough and asked, “Dee? What’s wrong?”
‘‘Tobey!” she cried out, shutting her eyes and opening them again. Her voice sounded like it was fleeing
from her throat. “Can you come to the Wards’ place? I… I almost met Brendan!”
Brendan hurried toward the company Sam had told him about while Henry gushingly greeted him with
the force of an elephant’s stampede. “Mr. Brighthall, welcome! Welcome! I’ve heard so much about
you! I’m the COO of Woody Inc., Henry Walker.”
Brendan sniped a snide glance at Henry’s outreached hand and ignored him. He looked at Sam
instead. “Where’s the lead to Deirdre McKinnon?”
Henry retracted his hand as Sam stared at him expectantly. “According to Mr. Walker, he’s seen
Russell and Miss McKinnon both. Russell had even spent a few days working for him, and in that
period, Deirdre stayed with him in one of the hostels for the employees.”
