Collier Landry

So the morning I rushed to her bedroom, I'm scrummaging through, because the bed was in a state of disarray. My mother always made her bed in the morning and I always made my bed. That's the first thing I do when I get up still. And I'm rummaging through the sheets and I'm looking for blood.

And I come downstairs and my father is seated on the couch and he had a towel wrapped around his waist because he had just taken a shower. And I said, where is my mother? And he doesn't look at me, he's watching television. I said, where is my mother? And he looks up to me very coldly and calmly. He goes, well, mommy took a little vacation, Collier. And right then I knew.

And then he starts to go into this whole diatribe about how, you know, I started asking him what happened. And he said, oh, well, you, you. Your mother came down. I was sleeping on the couch. We got into an argument. She's hollering at me, Jack this, Jack that about Sherry, about money, about this, about the divorce, about me, all this stuff, right?

But Collier didn't believe a word of what his father was saying. After all, he never heard his mother screaming that night. He only heard his sister scream and then two loud thuds. So he asked his dad about those thuds. What was that? He asked. Jack claimed that Noreen got mad and threw her purse at him and the purse hit the wall. Then from there, he said that Noreen left the house.

But as Jack is explaining this to him, Collier knows that that isn't true, and what his dad does next confirms this even further.

It starts into this whole, well, you know, we're not going to call the police. We're not going to call the FBI. And when I said the FBI, I remember thinking, like, what is this, like, escalating? Like, this is weird. And by that time, my grandmother is there, and he's telling the whole story to her. And he goes and gets dressed, and he's then like, you know, we're not going to call the police.

And I'm thinking to myself, as soon as you leave, like, I'm calling someone.
