![]() ![]() Randy blamed Pilar for being flighty and too focused on her art career, thereby allowing Elec to get away with murder. That included getting tattoos when he was only fifteen and getting into trouble for underage drinking and smoking pot. He was clean-cut then, but Randy said Elec had entered into a rebellious stage as of late. From the picture, I could see he inherited dark hair, probably from his South American mother, along with tanned skin, but had Randy’s light eyes and fine features. I hadn’t ever met my stepbrother before and had only seen a picture of him that was taken a few years ago, shortly before Randy married my mother. Here’s what little I knew about Randy’s former life: his ex-wife, Pilar, was an Ecuadorian artist based in the San Francisco Bay area, and his son was a tattooed punk who, according to Randy, was allowed to do whatever he wanted. My stepfather and I got along well enough, but I wouldn’t say we were close. ![]() ![]() Randy and my mother, Sarah, had only been married a couple of years. He’d gone to Logan Airport to pick up his son, Elec, who would be living with us for the next year while his mother took a yearlong work-related assignment overseas. ![]() Any minute now, Randy’s Volvo station wagon would be pulling into the driveway. Cold air fogged the bay window in our living room as I nervously waited in front of it and struggled to see outside. ![]()
