Chapter 59: Wherein Our Hero Puts on the Finishing Touches
So my big story was finally coming together. Britney was willing to spill all the beans - I think Pedro put her up to it.
And Lucy was going to tell a sob story about how Bertie Humber had ruined her childhood and stolen her innocence, and now she was doing porn because of it.
And you know her website was going to link my article prominently.
I also found a hooker in Tomarang willing to go on the record that Humber had been her client for many years.
And the icing on the cake, I'd found a current student, Kerri, who was only 16, and ready to state that she had recently signed up for Humber's tutoring, and he'd pressured her into sex on only the second session.
Of course, I'd be using fake names for all these girls, especially the one who was still underage. But they were on the record, and I had all the proof on paper.
So now it was time to talk to Humber himself.
I'd tell him I had multiple girls on the record stating that he'd used his position to pressure sexual favors from them while they were underage.
He'd deny it, of course.
Probably get angry.
I'd explain to his face what kind of awful pervert he was.
And he'd see the error of his ways, and give me all the details for my scoop.
Ha! Yeah, right. First of all, no, he wouldn't. Second of all, I'm not going to drop in on that guy and tell him I'm about to ruin his life. Maybe he walks around with a loaded gun all day?
So, instead I did the smart thing, and called him on the phone. He was none too pleased with what I had to say.
I did, however, meet his fiancée in person.
At first, she was very defensive of her soon-to-be husband.
But when I laid out the stories I'd gotten and all the girls I'd gotten them from, her anger turned to shock.
And then betrayal.
So I finished typing up my story, and sent it to my editor.
Then Aiyana came over, and I got to share my feeling of victory with her.
We celebrated with some drinks.
And then the endorphins and the alcohol and everything, well, you know how it goes.
That was one of my best days.
