Mnqobi left yesterday, heading back to Eastern Cape. We haven’t had sex yet, but we have done oral sex. I am happy that we are not rushing the sex part of the relationship. I don’t love him but I do have feelings for him. I want us to explore those feelings slowly. I don’t want us to jump steps because of lust.

Today I am headed to work. After that I will be heading to Musgrave Centre where I will be buying Zee’s shoes. I will also buy heels that I will be wearing. Zee made me her maid of honor. I really don’t know why because a maid of honor is someone who is supposed to be helping you with all your wedding preparations and be there for you emotionally.

I get to work and head to my office. I start doing some paperwork. Honestly working can be very boring for me because the captain doesn’t wanna ‘overuse me’. His words, not mine. He only assign me to cases that deal with serial killers and I am cool with that but come on, you aren’t going to get a case about serial killers every day. While I am bored with paperwork, Black gets in my office and throws a docket in my desk. She sits down opposite.

Me: “what’s up?”
Black: “we have been assigned to a case.” I frown.
Me: “me and you?” when the captain pairs me with someone at the station, it’s always Zondo and I love working with him because he is a great detective. Not that my friends aren’t great. It’s just that I am not used to working with them.

Black: “yes.”
Me: “why?” she laughs.
Black: “what do you mean why?”
Me: “you know what I mean.” She huffs.

Black: “the suspect is my ex nemesis, the captain found out about that and thought in should include you in it as a meditator if it needs be.” I smirk and sit back.
Me: “is it?”

Black: “oww fuck off. Anyways she is at the interrogation room 2. She ‘allegedly’ killed her fiancé’s mistress and burned her fiancé’s car and clothes. She found out about them and decided to hire a private investigator to do more research. The PI found more information. It turns a kid was born as a result of the affair. She found them on the bed in her fiancé’s house. She pulled Katlego, the mistress, outside while stark naked and beat her up till she lost consciousness. Katlego was taken to the hospital and a day later Rachel went there where she finished her off.”

Me: “is there tangible evidence?”
Black: “yeah. A footage from the hospital which shows her entering and leaving the hospital around the time Katlego died and there are so many witnesses who saw her beating up Katlego.”

Me: “how is she pleading?”
Black: “she keeps on saying that she is innocent. Even her fiancé wants to testify against her because he is sad about losing the love of his life.”

Me: “men.” I shake my head. “Why didn’t he leave Rachel in time? Look now, a woman is dead because of the so called fiancé.” I stand up. “Let’s go and see her.” She also stand up. I take the docket and read the important information. We get to the interrogation and Black sits down while I just stand there reading the docket.

Rachel: “oww if it isn’t Portia Black, the ordinary girl. I see you settled for being a law abiding citizen earning just 10k a month. Shame.” Black just chuckles.

Portia: “and what do you do? Sit around chowing your fiancé’s money?” she takes out her phone, tap on it a few seconds and place it back on her pocket. I just know that she is recording her.

Rachel: “it’s not my fault that you are single.”
Portia: “whatever. Let’s do this. Where were you on Friday?”
Rachel: “at home. Chilling with my fiancé.”
Portia: “is that so?”
Rachel: “yes.”

Me: “your fiancé and your neighbors saw you beating up a lady by the name of Katlego who was allegedly in a relationship with your fiancé on that day where you were ‘chilling with your fiancé’. I am detective Shabangu by the way. What is your comment on the above statement Miss Jenkins?” she chuckles.

Rachel: “are you seriously going to believe a bunch of black people over me? Obviously they have a thing against me.” I chuckle. I am not going to acknowledge her hate for black people. Well at least not now.
Me: “those bunch of black people plus your fiancé Miss Jenkins. Did you or did you not beat up Miss Katlego?”

Rachel: “so what? She deserved it for sleeping with my man. Bloody monkey thinking she is going to take my man away from me. Well not me.” her eyes pop out when she realizes that she just sold herself.
Black: “on Saturday you were seen entering and leaving the hospital where Miss Katlego was admitted in after you beat her until she lost consciousness. At that exact moment, soon after you left, she was found dead in her yard. What do you have to say for yourself?”

Rachel: “I don’t know what you are talking about. I went there to visit my aunt. It was just a coincidence that I was there when that bimbo died.”
Black: “well the thing is most of your relatives are at the Cape Town. The rest of them are in Dallas, America. No aunt of yours was admitted at Ascot Park Hospital. No records show a relative of yours being admitted at Ascot this past weekend.”

Me: “Miss Jenkins just know that lying to us may increase the number of years you going to serve because you are obstructing the course of justice.”
Black: “so Miss Jenkins, did you or did you not kill Katlego?”

Rachel: “I DID KILL THAT STUPID BLACK BITCH. I WANST GOING TO LET A NOBODY TAKE AWAY MY FIANCE. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE STUPID BITCH ACTUALLY OPENED HER BLACK SHRINKED THIGHS FOR MY MAN, MY MAN. SHE DESERVED EVERYTHING THAT WAS COMING HER WAY AND I WOULD DO IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN IF I HAD A CHANCE. AND WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE, I AM GOING AFTER THAT BLACK CHILD OF HERS!”

Me: “well luckily for us, you aren’t getting out of prison in a very long time because we have your confession on table. Good luck on the inside. You are going to need it.”
Black: “yeah good luck Miss Jenkins.” She takes out her phone and stop the recording. “That was fun. I thought you are going to give us a hard time.” We head out leaving her shouting saying she wants her lawyer. Drama Queen.
