My psycho side

Mommy Immy

  Clark's POV

           "Thing is, she is covered in bruises. It's like she was in a fight or something. She gets angry just at the mention of Jeff's name so I am guessing..."

           "You are guessing he had something to do with it right?" I nod my head and silence reigns over us. I can hear the wheels working in Nelson's head. He's thinking of something and I better not stand in his way so I keep my mouth shut the whole time. Finally after about ten minutes, he speaks up again.

           "You mentioned something about her having to go to the hospital for a head check or something right?"

           "Right."

            "If so, then she definitely was in a fight. Could be with Jeff or somebody else."

            "Could be with her dad. It seemed she hated him as well. She even refers to him as Larry and not dad or something." That though crosses my mind when I remember how she called him Larry which surprised me at the time.

               "Nah bro, it couldn't be her father. I mean I know how he is but I doubt he would ever put his daughter in harms way."

               "Maybe you're right but we should look at all possibilities."

               "Speaking of, Rita had a cut on her arm last night. I asked her about it but she didn't say anything. She brushed me off. Maybe something really did happen. We have to find out what took place and if Jeff is responsible for this, I promise I will have his head."

               "Yoo, take it easy. I am the one who has a grudge on the guy."

               "Well if he is the reason Rita has a cut on her arm then I've something for him too. By the way, seems to me you are smitten by this girl. I have never seen you care for any woman the way you do her."

              "Of course not. She just needs my help that's all. Any other person I would have done the same."

             "Keep lying to yourself then but you can't hide it from me. I know you better than anyone else bro, remember that." He grabs his cup and leaves my office.

    Well, I am not lying. I barely know the girl so I can't have feelings for her. Wait, did I just say feelings. Definitely not. I don't feel anything for her, besides she's Jeff's fiancee. Jeff's fiancee.

            "Leyla, please bring me a cup of coffee." I say into the telecom and soon after I receive a "Yes sir". Leyla brings me my coffee and I drown myself in work or at least I do. I can't stop thinking about the girl I left in my house. The bruises on her arm, the wound on her head, her scream of "Mom" as she was dreaming. Did something happen to her mom? I mean I know she died like ten years ago but why is she having nightmares about her death? Could she have died an unnatural death? Of course she did dummy. But what was the real cause of her death? I go to the search bar and type about the incident that killed Immy Sheldon and read about it.

  Nothing seems to catch my attention. Everything seems normal unless......

Could something have happened that the world doesn't know about? Only Maya, her mom and dad were present and knowing Larry, he could have done something. Maybe that's the reason she hates her dad to the core. Well, I would too, if what I am thinking is what Larry did.

            "Hello, Nel, I think I found something about Maya." I say into the phone as I wait for his response.

             "What did you find?"

             "I think Mrs.Immy didn't die in a shoot out at her place."

             "And who is that?"

            "You don't know Mrs.Immy bro. She was like a second mother to us bro. Have you forgotten her that easily?"

            "Oh, I do remember her. We just usually called her mommy Immy so I thought you were speaking of some other person. So what did you find about her death?"

           "Nothing really but I am starting to question about her death. Maya had a bad dream and she was crying and screaming about something that happened to her. Why would she have bad dreams about mommy Immy's death if nothing suspicious happened?"

            "Maybe she was traumatized by the shoot out that happened and that's why she has those dreams. Nothing seems out of the ordinary. You're just reading to much on your feelings for her."

            "Trust me, I am not and I don't have feelings for her." I feel a tag in my throat as I say that but ignore it.

             "I am doing this for Mommy Immy and in a way for Maya too and if you don't wanna help stay out of my way." I hung up the phone not giving him the chance to say anything. Really. Sigh.

  Shortly after, I hear some voices outside my office and soon Nelson barges inside.

          "What the hell bro? What's with the attitude?" He says angrily staring daggers at me.

          "You...."

          "No, you just don't get to lash out at me like that. I also loved mommy Immy and I would do anything for her. You came to me because you needed my help and I will help, I won't stand in your way if that's what you're worried about." Then he's gone, just as he came. I do understand where his anger is coming from. I shouldn't have yelled at him the way I did. Sigh

  I continue to do my work, signing document after document and going through them just to be sure. It's late in the evening when I finish all the handiwork at the office. Before I leave, I schedule a meeting with all the worker for the next morning. I feel so exhausted.

 Coming down to where Cass and Nel's offices are, I notice no one is around. Not them or their assistants. Where are they? Are they avoiding me or something? Well, what can I do? I would always come down here and we would take a ride together back home especially on the nights Nel would spend in my house.  I decide to just leave the office and head home, not knowing what awaits me.
