"The reason I called you girls for a meeting is because I have an idea for something". Ava said and gave a dramatic pause, waiting for the others to say something and when there was no response she continued. "Let's throw a baby shower for Amy". Carie scoffed, "was that why you scheduled an emergency meeting?I thought you were going to come out as gay or something"."Oh come on Carie, you know I'm as straight as a ruler". Ava said and all of them burst into laughter. "But I am serious guys, we should throw a surprise baby shower for Amy. She's been through a lot and I believe she needs it at this point." Ava said again."That's a good idea Ava, Amy would be wild with joy and it would help to take her mind off some things", Sarah said in agreement. "Since Ava brought Amy into our friend group, everything we do, talk about or even so much as think of revolves around her". Carie whined again."That's because she is our friend and we need to be there for our friends. She would do the
Amy sat in her office, working on her computer; she had left a meeting that lasted for four hours and she was already more than exhausted. Her friends had been acting weird all day; all four of them had canceled the lunch date they were supposed to have in the guise that something important came up. If they didn’t want her around, they should just have the balls to say it instead of ignoring her. She picked up the phone and dialed a number, ‘’Jane, step into my office for a minute please’’ she said into the phone and replaced the receiver.Few minutes later, a knock sounded on her door and Jane walked into the office. ‘’Ma’am you asked to see me’’. ‘’Yes, I want to leave now, is there…’’, ‘’No no you can’t leave yet. There’s some important work you need to do’’. Jane said hurriedly, cutting off Amy’s speech and Amy cocked her head at her. ‘’What do you mean I can’t leave? I think I’m allowed to leave when I want to’’.‘’I know that and I didn’t mean it that way. It’s just that wh
Amy held the frilly pink dress to herself and looked into the mirror in Ava’s room, pregnancy had begun to take its toll on her. Her once smooth skin now looked like a railway track and her eyes were continuously puffy looking as though she spent all her time crying. She pulled off the clothes she had been wearing and put on the pink dress and the headband which read, mama to be on it. Ava came into the room and sat on the bed, watching her fidget with the dress. ‘’This costume makes me feel silly Ava’’ Amy said to her.‘’Courtesy of your mother-in-law, it doesn’t look that bad though. You look like a pink pregnant pumpkin’’ Ava said and smiled. Amy made a face at her, ‘’as if that helps in any way, I don’t think I would like to be associated with a pumpkin’’. ‘’Let’s go, everyone is waiting for you’’. Ava said and led her back out to the sitting room where everyone was gathered. Her mother took her hand and led her to a chair and everyone gathered around her.Diana Bennet stood
Amy sat calmly in the dingy cell they had placed her in, in total confusion of what was happening or what might have happened while she was in the toilet in Ava’s house. Funny how she could be happy and having a surprise party and the next minute she is arrested for alleged possession of illegal substances. She did not have the faintest idea of how an illegal drug looked or even felt like and she was being arrested for something she had no knowledge about. When she came out of the toilet and followed the police men to where everyone was dumbstruck, they said they had been tipped off anonymously that someone who was dealing hard drugs was at the party.They provided their search warrant and started to search starting from where everyone was gathered. They looked into everyone’s purses and bags and the search came to an abrupt end when they stumbled on a white parcel of cocaine in her purse. A parcel she had never seen before and had no prior knowledge of how the cocaine made its w
“Amy I said we would talk about the contract, don’t make drastic decisions because you are angry” Reynolds said to her through the bars and Amy forced herself up and walked towards him. “Tell me why I am 7 weeks pregnant and sitting in a cell on the night of my baby shower. I was involved in an accident where I sustained a terrible fracture and sometimes I still have PTSD about entering cars all because of you and now I’m in prison for something I do not know about which I suspect will surely be connected to you. Since I got married to you it has been a rollercoaster of emotions, terrible things happening to both of us. I am at my wits end with this one Reynolds, trust me this is what is best for both of us” Amy said to him.“Are you seriously blaming me for everything that has happened to us?” Reynolds asked in shock. “Not us Reynolds, me for everything that has happened to me and I am not blaming you I’m saying that my life was pretty normal and fine before I got married
“Mr. Bennet I’m sorry but that will be quite difficult to achieve at this moment. We don’t take it likely with drug offenders and the case has been transferred to the DEA’s table” the police superintendent said to a grim faced Reynolds who was sitting in front of him. “How is that even possible? You arrested my wife last night and in the space of less than 24 hours the case has been transferred to the DEA’s table? I know the amount of paperwork involved in transferring cases Mr. Superintendent so do not try to fuck with me. I want my wife’s case transferred to the headquarters” Reynolds said again. “Mr. Bennet I’m afraid that cannot happen, this is my jurisdiction and it is a sensitive case which…” “Don’t tell me it’s a sensitive case Goddammit” Reynolds shouted and banged the table in front of him with a clenched fist. “I want my wife out of that cell this minute and for her case to be transferred to the headquarters or else I will subtly fuck you up in ways you cannot imagine
Reynolds sat in the waiting area waiting for the police superintendent. It had been 3 days since Amy's arrest and their last meeting and he couldn’t let it pile up any longer, he came in early in the morning because he needed to do something about the whole situation. He had contacted Luke the night before and they discussed strategies and plans to go about Amy’s case and how to prove that she was not guilty and they had come up with plans which he was here to try out.The door to the office opened and the man stepped out and gestured for Reynolds to come in. “Mr. Bennet please come in” he said and Reynolds followed him into the office he had been in for like the 5th time in one week. “I want to know what types of investigations are being carried out on my wife’s case,” Reynolds asked. “Well Mr. Bennet, we have not yet commenced investigations on your wife’s case” the superintendent said and rapped his fingers on the table.Reynolds was having a feeling that at this point this cou
Amy weaved through the throng of people as she made her way to the table where her friends sat. Sarah stood up and hugged her as well as she could, given that the size of her stomach had increased by 3 since the last time they had met, which was at her baby shower. “How are you doing Amy? You refused to see any of us for almost a week since that incident” Sarah said and led her to a seat. “Are you finally out from your hiding?” Carie said and placed her hand on Amy’s lap. “I wasn’t in hiding, I just needed to get some things straight” Amy said to them.“We were all so worried about you Amy, we called your office but your secretary said you were not yet on seat. You refused to take our calls or respond to our messages, I hope you don’t blame us for what happened that day” Ava said. “I am fine guys but there is a problem, I am not allowed to speak or talk to anyone who was present during the baby shower because there is going to be an investigation because I was obviously framed fo
