ODDS OF LOVE - SEASON 14

Episode 46

Glory stepped outside of her daughter's hospital room so not to disturb Dodie as she napped, her cell phone in her hand and a frazzled look upon her attractive lined face. Her other hand touched the headscarf she still wore to cover her slowly growing back in greyish black hair. " Where are you in my daughter Dodie Angeletti's investigation of her attempted murder? ," she demanded to know from the dreadful little man on the other end that kept crunching what sounded like corn chips in her ear.

Detective Nate Jacks was sitting behind his desk in the homicide unit as he said casually," Well , lady , I'm the only one working this case now. Me and my partner. Browne and Williams got pulled off. More pressing cases for them two. Trust me. I'm working every angle of it. "

Glory narrowed her eyes. " What does working every angle of it mean? Besides harassing my husband's fifteen year old grandson and the other victim's eighteen year old brother? Do you have any leads in this case ? "

Nate rolled his eyes. " I'm not at liberty to say right now. But just know I'm giving it my full attention, ma'am. " He smiled coldly as he thought of his large payment from Jacob Giadello to make this particular case go cold as his girlfriend Kris Keller's pussy lately. " Anyway I have to go. You have a wonderful day now. "

As he hung up abruptly Glory swallowed back a cuss word and shook her head. She and her first husband had disagreed on a lot of things especially child rearing but one thing they agreed on was the mutual feeling of cops being truly useless and stupid. Speaking of child rearing , she thought , she needed to respond to her son in law Tony's email about his wanting the boys to remain in the custody of Dodie. Or , essentially her since Dodie still was trapped in the notion she was back to being sixteen and the princess daughter of her too indulging father Franco. A fantasy world where Franco was still alive and dominating everyone.

She was about to head back into the hospital room when a small slim young man in an ill fitted business suit and shiny shoes showed up with a long brown envelope in his hand. He was about to go in the room when Glory stepped before him and said," Excuse me ? What are you doing? Do I know you? "

The young man smiled brightly at her, saying," I'm looking for a Mrs. Dodie Angeletti. Are you her ? "

" I am not, young man. I'm her mother. My daughter is not physically or emotionally well enough for visits right now. So if you need anything you can deal with myself. Can I help you? "

The young man looked a little uncertain but after a long considering pause he finally said," Your daughter has been served. Have a wonderful day, ma'am."

Then , as he walked quickly away, a perplexed Glory swiftly opened the envelope and drew out some official documents.

Documents that clearly stated that Duncan and Associates were officially representing Keisha Duncan and Jamal Duncan against Dodie in a civil suit about the accident.

This time Glory didn't suppress her cuss word.
