Farouk came when he needed Marcia, when another baby was born, to leave money, or because he could.Īnd that situation might’ve continued forever, if it wasn’t for Farouk’s position on the force. World War II was over, Trinidad was in the midst of political unrest, he was the father of two more children – Jacqueline and Wesley – and there was another on its way. He was there for her when the boys disappeared, and he was there a year later when their daughter was born, but he left soon afterward because there was something about those boys that just didn’t add up.Įight years after Farouk left, he still hadn’t actually gone.
