Chapter 48

“Consider it done,” Charles said.

“The affected families ought to sue this bastard,” I said.

“Is that possible?” Mason said.

“You could sue, and you might collect some damages,” Charles said. “You would certainly make a very public point, but I don’t know if it would have any long-term effect. On the other hand, it might let other parents know that they need to be wary of just who their children spend time with.”

“It sounds like something the Integrity Foundation ought to take up,” I said.

Charles gave the two of them a quick rundown on the foundation, and I promised to put them in touch with its attorney.

“I want to make that bastard pay for what he’s done to this family,” Mason said.

“I think I can assure you that we can do just that,” I said.

Charles and Mason returned to their respective offices, and I drove Angela home. She decided to take the two younger boys with her to visit her parents that evening so Mason and Roger could move Roger’s things out without distraction.
