ODDS OF LOVE - SEASON 14

Episode 150

As Detective Fisherman sloppily searched the one bedroom with the scientific research and motivation posters on the walls as an irritated Justin and a concerned Oscar watched, Oscar said softly," I think this is very erroneous behavior. I remember that during the time of the robbery Miss Duncan was in school. I'm quite certain that the attendance records will confirm it. Ever since she has arrived at Barrington most people know when she is there. "

Fisherman laughed. " Ever heard of cutting school, beanpole? "

As he filmed on his cell phone Justin snapped," Ever heard of wrongful arrest? My sociology professor was talking about police brutality and intimidation last class. And , careful with my stuff ! "

" Nicole," Keisha said with a strained and stressed face as she stood next to her scared young daughter in the downstairs hallway along with her mother," what did you do now ! What is going on !  You promised you would be good ! "

Nicole shouted," I didn't do anything ! I swear !"

Harriet reached out to hug her granddaughter tightly. " Of course you didn't, sugar. "

                    -----------

Inside Nicole's bedroom Jeremiah and an increasingly nervy Jamal stood watching Jacks go through everything.

Dresser drawers.

The closet.

The drawers of her desk.

Under her bed.

Under the mattress.

Finally the red faced portly detective reached for her bookbag and opened it. As he began to reach inside it Jamal said sharply ," Can hhhe lllook .... lllook in that, Uncle.... Uncle...."

Jeremiah sighed. He looked older than his late thirties. " If it's in the house yes. " He had one eye on Jacks and the other on his phone as he texted with Nigel who confirmed that Jacks had shown Richard pictures today of possible suspects but that , in Nigel's opinion, Richard was too highly medicated to do it successfully. In fact, Nigel texted, that Richard had actually not picked out anyone. He just pointed at a picture and said it looked familiar.

" Of course," Jeremiah said," Richard said she looked familiar. He saw her in his courtroom before. "

Jacks laughed. " Yeah. The day she shot Joe Jacobs. "

Then the gloved man pulled out a small black gun. And, he smiled. " This is just what I'm looking for. And , we're taking the kid in for questioning. Now. "

Jamal stepped forward with blazing eyes. " The hell you are , asshole ! You're.... not.... not taking my sister anywhere! "
