Never had James hoped a kid's sexuality could play more in his favour than right now. Sasha had been well and truly part of their family by the time he officially came out as on the asexual-spectrum, so a lot of them had done their learning about it right along with him. James was no exception. He talked to Sasha a lot about it, and had learned some days, Sasha had a general desire for sex with Justin, but other days, he didn't really have any urge for it at all. Things like porn or extended sex scenes in movies made him uncomfortable, and you'd never find him in a strip bar. His exception was Justin, everything else he had no desire for, and never had. But it wasn't the asexual side of his sexuality James was hoping would win out here, he was hoping the part where he only had a desire for Justin might have been dialled down the night Justin was psychotic. In saying that, he had heard the way Sasha had tried to intervene on Justin with the drugs, so he was pretty sure he would've done anything if he thought it might help prevent Justin getting more hurt than he already was. He watched Mark out on the balcony, and as soon as he saw him light up that cigarette, he knew his big brother wasn't coping with any of this. He would keep holding it together as long as he had to, but James knew he had to make sure Mark had any help he needed too.
He didn't ask what Sasha said because he knew Sasha would probably be mortified if he thought anyone was discussing his sex life in any significant way. It would've been why Mark left the room to make the call to start with, and as awful as the situation was, it didn't matter to why they were meeting here today. That was collateral damage to what Justin's mother did, not the root cause of anything. "I care how. I agree, get the bitch burned, but I don't want it coming back on Justin or Mark. Our fucking family have been through enough. It's got to look like natural causes, and I want both your snitches, or connections, or whatever else you have tapped into for information bled dry so no one can put it back on either of them. I'd say aim to make it look like suicide, but nothing would be more o fa kick in the guts to Justin's suffering than that. Natural causes, or find someone willing to go down for the murder to reduce a plea for a loved one. Not an accident, it can be tracked. Not suicide. And I want to be kept informed the whole way. But I don't want anyone else in our family dragged down to it."
