When Jake got into the club, he was met with loud music, flashing light and drunk dancing people. He winced, he could already feel the migraine coming.Jake wasn’t at all a big fan of busy places. He made sure to avoid parties and crowded public places especially because of the anxiety that it caused him. The time he spent in the club waiting for William to come meet up with him felt like eternity.He wished he’d come with earplugs but he needed his eyes and ears so he would suffer though this. His first impulse was to get a drink but he had to stop himself because he would be driving William home soon…he couldn’t afford to take a shot with his low tolerance for alcohol. After a few painful minutes, William came in and they both updated each other on the situation of things. Jake told William that he would most likely be able to go in if they thought he was a client, and walking in just like that wasn’t going to be an option. but William told him that since they weren’t going t
Charlie was trying her best not to loose her cool. She had barely walked into the office when Jake and Will called for an emergency meeting at her office.Charlie thought it was kind of ironic that they were always holding emergency in her office even when she didn’t call any of them, wasn’t the team leader and had the office that was furthest from the entrance. “Yup, and in regulated quantities with a handbook with health effects, negative side effects, directions for usage e.t.c.”William replied.“Wow! I feel played, why were they being so suspicious about it If it was so legal and regulated.”“Seems like it’s the chain for the elites and popular so it has to be discrete” Jake answered.“Fuck! Thought we were really onto something.” Jake and William were a little surprised that she was reacting so angrily.They figured she must’ve been upset about something else. While she continued expressing her displeasure at how things had turned out, Jake and William linked eyes over her he
When Jake and William left Charlie’s office, they suspected that the reason she was so grumpy was most likely boy problems and also their disappointing trip to that strange club. Maybe her date with that guy she kept hanging out with didn’t go well they mused. While Jake was preparing for his ride down with William, he knew Charlie would show up because she didn’t let her personal life’s mess with her work.She was most likely to let her work mess with her personal life. When it was time to go pay a visit to Lulu, they were walking towards the car when Charlie appeared from the entrance to their office. Jake shook his head when he heard William mutter under his breath “Yes! I’m off the hook.”“If you hated being out in public so much, you shouldn’t have taken this job.”Jake replied.“I needed money to feed my wife and kids.”William replied.“Will, you hadn’t even met your wife when you took this job and you do not have any kids.” Jake said.William faked a gasp and widened his
Jake and Charlie made their way into the trailer to meet with Lulu. When they got in, she stood up briefly to welcome them into her home.The place betrayed last minute efforts to put things in order, but it was a good thing that she at least thought of what guests thought of her home- when she wasn’t high. Lulu’s hair looked like it hadn’t been washed in weeks, Charlie suspected that the funny smell that seemed to linger on in the room came from Lulu. She sat back down into her recliner after offering them a seat in the two of the rickety chairs in her room. Charlie noticed that she had been knitting and was a little surprised.But it’s ok for drug addicts to have a hobby she thought.“Hi, I’m agent Spencer and this is agent Brown.” Jake said when they had sat down.“I’m Lulu, nice to meet you.”“It’s a fine bunch of rascals you got there Lulu.” Jake said after they had sat down.“Those kids are the only reason I feel the need to go on with my life, they’re my gift from the heave
Johnny Maddox was not happy at all and everyone around him knew it.It seemed like the past few days things just kept getting out of hand and spinning out of his control.That was not good.Everything had to be in his control because he was in charge, always in charge. Bryan had told him that things at the stash went a bit off. A client’s order had been handled carelessly and he was not happy about it. The people in charge of client’s delivery for some reason thought that they had properly handled the order and delivered it to the right person. Bryan had to remedy the situation and deliver another order this time personally. That resulted in a loss. Johnny did not like losses especially from incompetent folks. Bryan seemed to think that they had been compromised and someone either came snooping or stealing. As for the people in charge of handling his client’s orders, he decided to let them off with a warning. “What did you say?” Bryan asked in disbelief. It was unheard for th
On the way to Jeremy’s house, Charlie texted William to tell him the update so far. He seemed hopeful on the lead to find Joel. Then he told them that they had better brought something reasonable from their trip to the two locations because Harroway had already called to ask for updates on the Diane Wilson case. “Harroway needs to chill, it’s not even being a week.” Charlie said.“Well Harroway doesn’t have a week, and neither do I. The earlier we solve this one, the earlier we can get on with something else.”Jake said.“Now that’s the attitude we need in the FBI.” Charlie rolled her eyes.“The two of you can rush things, but I know slow and steady wins the race.”“Slow and steady? People are dying Kim.”Jake said and they both laughed.“What’s funny?” William asked.“People are actually dying, is the joke that called her Kim instead of Charlie?”“Yup.” Jake replied and glanced sideways at Charlie.Apart from the fact that explaining a joke automatically makes it less funny, they
As Jake sat on the other side of the room , opposite Jeremy he couldn’t stop thinking that there was something odd about him although he couldn’t quite place his finger on it. He and Charlie were engaged in a conversation and his responses seemed calculated like he put a lot of thought into every word that he said which was only normal when talking to the feds. Judging from his line of work, he must have had some experience with this sort of thing. He hadn’t even mentioned that Diane used to work with them or what he did for work even though Charlie tried to trap him into giving those details.Smart guy!They had waited for about thirty minutes before Joel Peters walked into the room. The resemblance was uncanny and it looked like they made deliberate efforts to look so alike it was almost scary. They had the same hair cut and their beards shaved in the same neat fashion. Even their outfits today was identical which Charlie thought was unnecessary. They were in their late twen
When Charlie and Jake were done with the talk with Jeremy and Joel, they had high hopes once again in regards to cracking the case. Joel Peters had admitted that Diane would run errands for them every now and again, but she didn’t get involved with any major deals and he made sure of that. From what he told them, Charlie got to know that Diane did not keep any close friends and was mostly alone so he was sure that she was not moving with a wrong dangerous group. Jeremy however told them that he had noticed Diane seemed very aloof when he’d seen her recently which meant something was definitely off. The person who they could talk to next would have to be her sister who was the same person that had filed a missing person’s report and also confirmed the body of her sister when Diane was found. Charlie asked Joel what the relationship between Diane and her sister was like.He told them that they were two peas in a pod and made sure to talk to each other everyday. They worked toget
As Johnny pulled at the parking of Sin City, he wondered why he couldn’t stop thinking of Eunice and how tragic their love story was.This was one of the first real traumas he had experienced apart from when his mother had left him and somehow he couldn’t bring himself to get over it yet.“You should try therapy.” He thought aloud.“Maybe not, because then your therapist would need a therapist pronto.”He laughed.what would have been different if Eunice had agreed to his conditions?Would they really have worked out or would they be divorced like most couples at this point? He imagined himself with Eunice at a beach, two kids playing in the sand and him relaxing and being content staring at them.Johnny Maddox cringed a little.Maybe that wasn’t the life for him. He wondered if miss Carla had eventually forgotten about the incidence.“Why did I even tell her?” He thought.“Maybe I really wasn’t much of a man.” He thought to himself.Things rapidly got out of his control. He briefl
Johnny looked up at her and replied.“I’m just your man because we be fucking.”Why was Johnny acting so strange today Eunice wondered. Maybe something was wrong with him but why didn’t he just tell her. She him on to him tightly and stroked his hair.He closed his eyes and smiled. She wondered what could be going through his mind.“Johnny, you’re my man because I like hanging out with you, we got mad chemistry.”“Sing to me Eunice, help me clear my head.” One of the best things he loved about Eunice was her amazing voice.He always asked her to sing for him whenever they would meet up in his bedroom.She sang hymes, and sometimes she danced a little to it too.“Ok then, but just one.”“Two, I’m really upset.”“Ok fine.”Johnny was happy that she agreed. Most times, he would have to plead with her for hours before she agreed to sing even one. He asked her to sing Amazing grace.While she sang, his thoughts were clouded with thoughts of her… her voice was soothing just not as much
Maddox Black took the familiar turn and knew that he was getting close to his club. He wondered why his mind was getting flooded with memories of the first woman he had ever loved- the only woman he had ever and most likely would ever love. She was his first love and everything.He smiled sadly“Young love.”He would never forget her.Maybe things would have been different if she had agreed to elope with him. By now they would be married with kids and be the most content man alive. He let his mind wander to the first time he’d suggested they elope.“Let’s run away, together.”Eunice sat up and looked at Johnny, bewildered.“What are you talking about?”Johnny took her hands in his and looked into her big blue beautiful eyes that reminded him of the ocean and he wanted to get lost in it.“I’m tired of playing hide and seek baby, I just want to be with you in a way that is natural away from all these.”Eunice shifted uneasily and moved away from his gaze.“I don't know Johnny, I reall
That was the beginning of Johnny and sister Eunice’s love affair.Most times, they hung out in the vicar’s old yard but , she would sometimes sneak into his house. Johnny found the whole thing very exciting, to him the rush to not get caught and to sustain the secret love affair really kept The adrenaline pumping. He knew what they were doing was very wrong, but anytime he got into her arms, he wanted to be signed up for a life long supply of sister Eunice’s sexy body. For him, it wasn’t just about the sex because he really enjoyed spending time with her.She was very easy to talk to.Once, he asked her why she was a nun when she didn’t like the church or cared enough to obey any of the rules. Sister Eunice’s parents lived met and were born at the church so they were really devoted to the preachings. They thing they were most proud of and held in high esteem was their service to the church such that they gave up their life and lived only for that one purpose. They met and fell i
When Johnny got home, he ran straight to tell Carla about Eunice and it was then he got the shocker. Eunice was a nun and they didn’t get married and had sworn the oath of celibacy so he couldn’t be with her. Johnny felt like he had been a fool trying to come on to a nun. Although it hurt, he knew the best thing to do was to stay away from Eunice. He tried to stay away from the church too but that didn’t last long at all.Eventually he went back to see her to talk things through.He even felt like he might have to make a confession to the father.The one woman he wanted and could not keep out of his head was God’s woman. He got to the church in time for the fellowship and immediately after, he found Eunice and told her that he had something really important to talk to her about. The had to find somewhere hidden and private so that his abomination would not be found out.Eunice took him to the yard at the back of the vicar’s building.It was set well away from the church building
Johnny Black was happy with how the meeting had turned out and he was looking forward to having an amazing chill evening at the bar. Sara kept texting him throughout the day and he had stopped replying when it began to get a little boring. He would have to invite her over for the night so they could finally get thing over with because se he was now thinking that getting her number might have not been the best of ideas. She was becoming a distraction and kept nagging him to meet up.He decided against taking her to his club because he felt he deserved an alone quiet evening before he too her over to his house. He called Bryan to clear out his table at the VIP section.Bryan sounded pleased when he found out that the Black dog would be around for the night.“drinks on you, it’s been a while.”“Bryan, it has only being a few days.”“Few days and a couple hours. It has never happened before. Are your running around with the chick from the office?”“No, I am not.”“She seems like your
When Charlie got home, the first thing she did was get into the bathroom and she took a shower.It was a long shower.Taking shower had always been therapeutic to her.Her bathroom had seen her on her worst days and also on some happy days. In here was where she had had all her major emotional breakdowns.It felt soothing to know that she could in in here with the shower running as she blocked the outside world out and know that everything would be ok. Today, her shower felt like a treat.She added eucalyptus to the shower head, made sure to wash her long luscious black hair. Using a skin sloughing doing, she carefully exfoliated and ended it all with an aromatic cleanser. When she stepped out of the shower, she felt relaxed and free like a heavy weight was suddenly lifted off her shoulders. Whenever she found herself in the shower, she saw it as her means of escape and would most times get things that weighed heavily on her off her chest. This week hadn’t been the easiest or most
“Any plans for the evening? You seem to be in a rush to get home.” Jake said as he and Charlie signed out for the day.“Do you have any plans that would involve me?”“I was thinking that maybe after work, we could grab a couple beers.”He replied.“You shouldn't wait till the last minute to ask this hunk of gorgeousness out for the evening.”“But you know it had never been a problem in the past, you user to have an open schedule all day, everyday.”Charlie smiled because she knew that Jake wasn't wrong.“Now things have changed darling, I got plans.”She said proudly“Ooooooh, who’s the new love interest?”Jake asked looking unimpressed. Charlie hesitated a little as she thought about what her response would be.Telling the truth which was that she was trying to stalk the person who had ghosted her out of the blues by going to hang out t the club where they had first met sounded quite silly. “I’m going out alone.” was all she could reply.“Well, great I’ll tag along.”“It needs to
Johnny Maddox sat on his office chair, brows furrowed and he appeared to be deep in thought. His gloved hands reached over and touched his silver cross necklace. He had a meeting scheduled for twelve thirty later today but for the first time ever, his prospective meeting wasn't the subject of his thoughts. That girl, he needed to see her again but wasn't quite sure why. Maybe he knew he though but wasn't quite ready to accept that as the truth, it sucked.“She is out of my life, I should be glad but why doesn't it feel right?” he said out loud. That girl was more of a thorn in his flesh that seemed like she belonged there and now that the thorn was gone, his comfort was becoming a little more uncomfortable. His phone buzzed and at first, he was a little embarrassed by how eager he was to go read the text, then he was disappointed when he saw who the text was from.Pink-topped Sara!Are we still down to hang today? Was the text she had sent.She had gotten tired of calling him wh
