Chapter 18

Nikki's POV

I'm gonna get outta here. Not today but maybe someday. As long as Tommy agrees to pay the warranty. I'm in jail now. The case was sent to court and they had all evidences so I had to confess my crimes. Well, 20 years in prison or $3,000,000 warranty. I guess Tommy can make something about it. He's my lawyer. And best friend. And businessman. He has several jobs and plenty of money. But I don't think he's gonna like the idea of murdering Stacey. Yeah, I still think about that. I'm gonna kill her, I have to. Or maybe I should make John kill her. Speaking of John, his warranty is way expensive. But I think that's not a problem for Tommy to get $10,000,000 from somewhere else. I still remember the court days. Diana showed up. She had been arrested along with Dave and James. They told the court everything. Even Dave and James were stupid enough to complain about how low salary they had. Damn, sons of bitches. But I'm not mad at Diana. She told the truth. She saw what was going on when she came to visit me. At least she's free now. I hope her life turns out to be better than mine. I don't love her the way I love Moira, but Diana is sweet in her own exotic way. Like a curly haired goddess of lust and temptation.

But Moira is like a devil's servant. My servant. Damn, I'm still hurt. I knew she doesn't love me. But the fact that she even admitted that just... It broke my heart. Like she stole it and threw it away. Maybe she got disgusted of how dark my heart is. I think I understand her. Even I can't love me. Fuck me, I hate me... fuck off and die already... Okay that sounded like it's written down my heroin diaries. I still wonder where the fuck I put those. Maybe I've lost them somewhere. Anyways, Tommy told me that he's gonna wait 2 or 3 years to get the money and pay. I guess I won't be here that long. As long as the police don't find out he's Craig's nephew everything is gonna work out. The irony was that Tommy had to present a fake death certificate about himself. Ain't it funny? At least I have time to think about Stacey's murder plan. I'm really evil, aren't I?

Moira's POV

He's in jail. 20 years in prison seem enough. Unless someone pay the warranty. At least he was honest and admitted everything. Otherwise life sentence could be traumatizing. For him? Maybe, but for me even more. I don't want to know he's gonna spent the rest of his life in jail by my fault. At least he got his right to a lawyer. Tommy Leopold seemed really nice guy, but I have my suspicions too. Maybe I should stop thinking about Nikki and move on to the next case. But how am I supposed to forget him? When we were in court last month he seemed to be desperate. Well, if I were him I would be like that as well. I mean, he's a criminal. But that sadness I saw in his eyes. It wasn't that sadness when usually a criminal realizes he's guilty. It was like a part of him has died. Wait, is it possible? Was he sad because I rejected him? Oh God, did he really love me? I thought he was saying that just to make Vince jealous. He seemed like a heartbroken teenager. But the thing he said he's gonna do. Steal my heart? He already did. But I had to play it inaccessible and lie to him. It's none of my business to flirt with criminals, I had to keep his mouth shut. And I did but for what? To make me feel guiltier than him? He may be in jail but I feel like I've lost the first round.

Vince is the best. He just told me that he's going on vacation and invited me and Stacey. Also inspector Mars told me that after the deserved vacation I'm gonna be the main detective in police station number 6. This is amazing. At least the good news dull the pain inside of me. But I'm not sure if I can do the rest so the pain heals completely. I still have my feelings bottled up. I really shouldn't have lied to him, should I? Moira, don't do it. You won the round. You left him thinking that you don't love him. Well, if his feelings are nothing but a ten year old memory then it's gonna be easier for both to forget each other. Oh, Vince is here. Stop overthinking.

"Hey, detective Adams. How are you doing?"
"Good, I guess."
"The bastard is in jail. At last. Weeeell, I didn't expect everything to be THIS boring since we solved that case."
"Like, life's being back to normal?"
"Well, I still miss my fiance."
"I found out really late about it. But, why you didn't tell me?"
"I just... I didn't want to concentrate on my emotions more. What would have happened if I had ruined my cover because of the anger and the hate and..."
"You're right. I should do the same. I should stop concentrate on my emotions and feelings too."
"Don't tell me you love him back."
"What?"
"Don't lie to me. I know what's like to be in love. But imagine that you had unrequited love. Like, you loving him ONLY. Without his knowing and without your feelings being mutual. This is a nightmare." Are you kidding me Vince? Now I really believe that I've lost round one.
"So I should be glad that he loves me? Is this what you're trying to say?"
"Well, he was the one who confessed me that he would die for you so..." I should visit him and confess my feelings.
"May I pay him a visit? I think I should let him know about my feelings."
"I knew it. I just knew it. What the hell did you find in him?" Even I don't know.
"I don't know."
"Wait, I thought you told him already?"
"I lied to him."
"And he thinks his love is unrequited. Now I get it." It's a conclusion typical for me. I really am a good influence.
