Pain's Worth It ∆

Well today is my last day here in Cali, since the kids begin school next week. It was a good Summer, but it could have been better.

I was packing up my bags when Aqua came knocking on my door.

"How may I help you?" Angry, I began slamming the clothes into the suitcase.

She sighed and her strong accent came out when she attempted to apologize.

"Keep the bullshit to yourself Aqua. I do not care anymore. I got more serious things that I need to worry about" I zipped it up and went to the other.

"But, I didn't try do nothing that hurt you. Midnight, I sorry, that was crazy, he crazy" she sat down in front of me.

"Move" I flipped my hair.

"Say, Aqua, I accept you apology" then she went off in Spanish.

She confused me which caused me to laugh. I "accepted" her apology, just so she can hop out my face.

After a few minutes, my phone rang.

I looked at the screen and didn't attempt to answer until the fifth call.

"Can you come down to the police station immediately?" I guess it was Deputy Charles.

"I'm in the middle of packing my bags. My plane leaves at two thirty" I sat down on my suitcase trying to zip around it.

"Ma'am, we need you down at the station  immediately"

I sighed "Okay"

I looked at what I was wearing and contemplated on if I should change to some longer pants or not. 

I didn't feel like getting longer  pants or messing up the clothes I just nicely placed into the suitcase.

I slipped into my house shoes and walked down stairs. I was heading for the door.

"Where you going?" Toni said walking out the kitchen.

"Police station" I turned the knob and left.

I got there in about fifteen minutes and slowly walked in the department.

Sluggishly, I stopped at the counter and they escorted me to where he was. Ultimo was sitting in a wheelchair and the deputy sat in a rolling chair.

I ran my fingers through the ends of my hair, then sat on the seat near Ultimo.

"Nice of you to join us. So are you ready to speak?" Ultimo said staring into my eyes.

I furrowed up my brows "About what?" I snaked my head.

"I know you saw who shot me. My spine's all messed up now" he clapped his hands twice.

I rolled my eyes "I am not a tape recorder. I will not repeat myself again"

"I know y-"

"Stop it the both of you" Deputy Charles stood up "Now Midnight, he feels as if you need to be taking a polygraphic test"

I winked my brow as I  twisted my tongue around in my mouth. I leaned  on the side of the chair to get a good look at him. I chuckled a bit before agreeing to take the test.

I walked to a room patted with black cushions and the machine. There were some other test results thumb tacked onto the wall with a letter placed on top of it with a sticky note.
