Kemani

I sat in my office waiting on the private investigator I hired to come meet me. Ever since Jessica & Khalif came to my office I had a weird feeling that she was right about her suspicions. So I called a buddy of mine to set me up with someone to get to the bottom of it.

"Mr. Harrison there's a Stone Jones here to see you." My temp said.

"Send him in Don." I said.

A tall rugged white guy came in. Not what you would imagine a Private Investigator to be.

"Hello Mr. Harrison." He said extending his hand.

"Please call me Kemani." I said shaking his hand.

"So what's going on?" He asked.

After explaining to him everything that had happened the past few weeks he jotted it down on a notepad.
"Alright so the first thing I can do is go to that mall & try & get an ID on the guy." He said.

"Okay." I answered.

"Do you have the date & around the time he was there?" He asked.

"No. But I can ask my niece. Matter of fact I can call her right now." I replied.

He nodded. I pulled my cell phone out & called Jessica.

"Alright thanks honey." I said before hanging up.

"Okay so she said that it was April 12 & they were there around 3:30." I said.

"Okay so I'll make a few calls & run those security cameras back. Then when I can get a decent picture we can get an I.D. on him. " He explained.

"Alright man. Thanks so much." I said walking him out.

"I'll keep in touch." He said leaving the office.

After he left I worked a few more hours. Then I called Lana to let her know I was on my way to get the kids. I grabbed my things & headed out.

When I got in my car I noticed a black Nissan Altima with tinted windows in my parking lot. What's weird is the same Nissan was parked across the street the night Armani got shot.

"What a damn dumbass!" I thought aloud. Whoever this was had driven in the park instead of backing in. I quickly wrote the license plate number down & called Stone.
After giving him the number I drove to Lana's to get the twins. Since I had already been to the hospital & bathed Armani I just went home to get the kids ready for bed. Every single time I look at one of my kids I see Armani. It hurts but I have to go on taking care of them & praying that Armani will wake up.

After bathing & feeding them I had one on each arm walking around with them until they fell asleep.

This was one of the things that made me feel connected to Armani. She & I would always put the kids to bed together. She would be talking to them calmly caressing their backs until they were asleep.
She is a great mom. After putting the kids to bed I went in the den & looked at all the pics of her from our visit to Jamaica to the night I proposed, all the way up to Mother's Day. I loved my family. I can't believe I ever gotten drunk & did anything with Nia. We would be married right now if I wouldn't have had to win back her trust. What a minute. Nia! That's it! She had to be the reason for all this! I quickly pulled out my iPhone 6 plus & emailed Stone Nia's resume & contact information. I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner.

Nia (Temporary POV)

I sat in the parking lot of Kemani's office. Studying his daily routine was very important if I was gonna kill him without witnesses. I had to figure out what day he would be alone at work. I pulled out my cell phone & called Kevin.
