Chapter 55 - is this really necessary? yup! ok

Tanya had already scrubbed the entire security system all the way from the building to traffic so there was nothing to worry about. Since there were no witnesses we had nothing to worry about. Maxx had forced her to write a note saying that she has had enough. She made it clear that she is going to find a place where she can end her life in peace without any sort of interruptions. The family wouldn't take the note seriously so they ripped it. But forensics took it for confirmation. Once the note was proven valid the family started to moan her death. Some of her family members even glued missing persons posters all over. The reward money attracted some seriously bogus phone calls though.

Cheeky came over asking me if I had seen Brody. I told her that his mother died so he left for California to attend her funeral. From the looks of it I would say I had slapped her so hard her dentures have now made itself at home in Hawaii. She wanted to say something but the taxi honked loudly and rudely. So she ran to pay the guy and came back. I told her to hop in and I drove her back to her apartment. The place was small but had a minimalist style and was seriously organized. I waited in the living room staring out the window. She took her sweet time getting ready. The entire time I drove to work she was mute. The old brother was waiting for an answer and he himself was rendered mute as well. As I walked in I saw that Dimbo's lawyer was waiting to have a word. The captain had a few choice words to say to her and sent the woman packing.

As for me I sat on my desk to see a woman wearing what appears to be a bluebell colored belly dancer's outfit. She had heavy gold cuffs on both wrists. She was holding a shawl made from the exact material at either end. Her wavy ebony hair was all over the place but some of the strands were tamed by the band holding an elaborate gold headdress that looked slightly crown like from the front and it was tapered. She wore thick heavy gold anklets that jingle with each and every step that she took. She went through approximately five desks, in and out of a vending machine three times and crawled up the adjacent wall before boredom convinced her to jump up into the air and transformed into a huge wolf. She let out a howl and dove headfirst towards me. I moved away from my desk at the last moment to grab a stapler from the next desk and she hit the floor. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw that she had left a dark scuff mark that faded with three blinks. I didn't bother to flinch. No bother to acknowledge that I saw any sort of nonsense. I just kept typing.

At lunchtime I was about to go order a burger when the captain asked me to come into her office. Apparently Dimbo spiked my drink again in the hopes to prove that I am incompetent and easily compromisable. But so far I had shown no signs of hallucinating so she told me to take it easy just in case it is a delayed response. On the outside I was laughing hysterically the captain was the butt of the joke but I was screaming and ripping the entire office to shred internally. I seriously have to convince soft serve to let me kill him. This guy is the literal representation of the term pain in my butt.

I sat on my desk and my phone to show an unknown number. Dimbo spoke the moment I said hello. The idiot asked me what exactly I saw. I hung up and Dimbo called and I hung up since I had better things to do. An hour later Dimbo came to interrogate me personally. I made sure he had recording devices on him as I took him to the interrogation room. I looked in the mirror and saw HER. SHE gave me a nod to encourage me so I said, "I saw soft serve your dear wife being assaulted by the guy that strung her upside down. I saw her helplessly saying Dimka just once before what's his name slit her throat. She kept mouthing your name. I remember clearly since I was in the mirror looking at her swinging back and forth as the creep laughed with delight at her despair. And where oh where were you ex-husband dearest. Underneath some blonde bimbo's skirt." Dimbo's face went white a sheet as I went into darker details of HER moment of misery. I gave a light chuckle as soft serve gave me a nod of approval. The incredible hulk on the other hand couldn't bare listening anymore he walked off.

I turned around to see the captain and Cheeky staring sadly. The captain insisted on drinks and I said that I am a strict no alcohol person. I won't say no to barbecue though. So we found a place that was smoking beef brisket and the talking began. Cheeky talked about her terrible ex-boyfriend. While the chief talked about her horrible three ex-husbands. The ward called saying that she was by herself. So I told her that I will be home as soon as possible but till I get there I will send a patrol car. Cheeky said, "You make a great mom." I shrugged, "I was a mom. I had twins and they died in a plane crash. Both had Cystic Fibrosis. So each day was a heart ache" Both stared sadly as I laid out the painful past. Both stared sadly as my phone rang to let me know that DD wants me to join him for a dinner party. I told him my location and Henry came to collect me.

After the party the secretary came with a look of jealousy. Henry asked her to grow up and move on since DD isn't interested in her in any shape or form. The woman gave him the look of death and said that she is going to marry him very soon. DD made it clear that she is just an employee. While I am his wife. He is not interested in a woman who is interested in his money. She said that she is the best thing that happened to him. DD laughed, "You can't even get my coffee order correctly. You are telling me that you can handle a house, cook my dinner, take care of my kids and hold a job all at the time?" The woman shuffled her feet and shook her head. DD said, "My wife is better than you so why on earth would I replace her with someone I will divorce in six months and have to pay alimony?" The woman tried to argue but unfortunately DD told her to get a life and never fantasize about him or he is more than happy to fire her and replace her.

DD got her name wrong and she corrected her. Henry said, "Boss will remember your name when you start doing your job properly. The boss is looking for someone who brings him his coffee, delivers reports and answers the phone. Nothing more nothing less. If you can't do what you were hired to then I should have a word with HR". The woman said, "I will sue saying that I was raped." I laughed, "There are hidden cameras all over DD's office and his person. Not to mention his bodyguards wear body cams. If you say you were raped then they will send over raw footage that proves what happened to you is self inflicted." The woman lowered her head and DD wished her goodnight. Henry called HR and had her replaced with a male assistant.

When we came home the Cheryl came running and hugged us tightly. I asked if she was ok. She said that a stranger showed up moments ago. An officer in a rookie uniform came wanting some answers and Cheryl said that Henry's wife walked and said that it could be a bad man trying to get in and hurt them so she kept the door closed. The man requested that she open the door so he could show her a few pictures but Cheryl said that she wasn't comfortable to open it so she kept it shut. This meant he can't get inside. The butler came and so did the only bodyguard DD assigned at home. The man began to sweat profusely and he said a few unintelligible words. He wished her goodnight and walked away. Thankfully the patio has a hidden camera so I was able to get it and send it to the police station. The man in question was a suspect in several rape and murder cases. No one has been able to understand how he has been able gain entrance. I sent the full video and the man was apprehended in a matter of minutes. He was arrested for impersonating a police officer which is an arrestable offense. The officers got a warrant to checked his car and found driver's license of every single rape victim in his gym bag. The man was officially arrested.
