Not All Secrets Stay Hidden
Secrets
by Brett Matthew West
It was terrible to believe.
Little AJ may be deceased, but...if the lad had succumbed, at least the mysterious Olsen family secrets were secured and the hoity toity snobs of the Upper Crust echolon would not be ruined. Or, would they?
Dry martini in hand, complete with a spear of Manzanilla olives swimming in the liquid contained in the glass, Murphy Anderson swished the fruit around and pondered this question as he casually meandered unannounced through the living room door.
He was the one person who knew the unabashed truth. He kept the burning question for being where he was not welcome pressed tight to his button-down vest.
Upon noticing his presence, perplexed Olsen jaws sagged.
