The next morning Jason woke with the meanest hangover he ever had in his life. It wasn’t so much as the alcohol, but the added heartbreak he never felt. “Jason!” His eyes fluttered open as he heard the voice of a familiar soul. “Janet?” He sat up quickly to be tackled by her. “Fuck sis what the hell you doing here?” he asked once she released him enough so he can sit up. He held his head once he sat completely up. “Who let you in?”
CHAPTER 23“If I do take this prostitution job, won't I have to worry about getting pregnant, or worse Stds?” Janet asked, taking a stab at her strawberry on her pancake. Jason took her to their favorite place for breakfast, IHOP. “That’s why you get people screened. We have the little machine down in the basement area. A drop of blood is all you will need to test. As far as pregnancy is concerned, I doubt you will be able to do anything like that with you being cursed and such.” Janet laughed a little at his joking tone. “Like you’re not cursed. I
CHAPTER 24A couple of weeks had passed by and still Jason hadn’t heard any word from Alyssa. He was starting to believe she had moved on and forgot about him, but he wouldn’t give up. He texted her with his new phone, then looked up to see Melissa walking in. “Okay I have the list for the Christmas party on Saturday. Here are the investors that Dan personally invited.” Jason took the list. “Most of these are construction contractors. No one out of the ordinary.”
CHAPTER 25Janet, Valerie, and Yolanda were all in Jason’s room helping him get dressed for the Christmas party, drinking wine and laughing together. “Jason, no you didn’t go running through the park nude.” Valerie laughed. “I was like eight. How do you even remember that, Janet?” He smiled, tying his tie. Janet grabbed his shoulders behind him while he stood in the mirror. “It’s my job to tell embarrassing stories to your friends Jason. One day when I have friends you can do the same.” She replied, helping him tie the tie.
CHAPTER 26“What are you doing here?” Jason closed the door firmly behind him in the conference room, staring at Alyssa like she was the only woman in the world. “Why is everyone asking me that? I got an invite.” She pulled her card out of her purse again. Jason pulled the invitation out to read with eyes wide with curiosity. “Who gave you this?”“So
CHAPTER 27Wilson walked up to them as they danced, interrupting. “Sorry to cut in. Can we talk?” Jason looked down at Alyssa afraid to leave her, but nodded as he could see the urgency of it in Wilson’s eyes. “Wilson you remember Alyssa right?” he introduced. Wilson bowed. “Yes, pleasure to meet you again.” He looked back to Jason. “Let’s talk somewhere more quiet. I won’t steal him for long.” Alyssa nodded as Jason and Wilson walked off. She went to the bar and ordered a drink while she waited.
CHAPTER 28Wesley and the cleanup crew walked in Sunday morning ready for the overtime pay. No one was there to open the door for them, but the security guard, Frank. “Hey guys, you’re right on time. The boss wants the whole building cleaned and thoroughly polished.” Wesley and Jessica looked over the dirty first floor of the building full of glasses and bottles and Christmas graffiti. “It must’ve been one hell of a party.” Wesley teased to Frank, who shrugged. “I wouldn’t know.” He replied, walking away.
CHAPTER 29 Jason waited in the interrogation room for two hours before officer McGee walked in frantically. “Confess you son of a bitch, we have your hand prints on her wrist.” Jason glanced up looking tired and depressed. “I didn’t kill her.” Officer McGee hit the table. “Stop lying! You have been caught so just confess!” “I didn’t kil
CHAPTER 30He quickly saw the video and cursed. “Shit.” Jason stood ready to attack him if he was uncuffed, as the table moved as he reached for him. “You killed Abagail you son of a bitch!” Officer McGee looked busted. “What the fuck were you doing at this fashion show, Officer McGee?” Fairchild walked up to him with anger. “Not only are you the last person caught on camera with Abagail, you went to question Miss Sampson on your own without permission. What the hell is wrong with you?”
