SHONDELL: The Girl With A Knife In Her Throat

Chapter 9 - Hired and On Patrol

Gigi introduced Denise to the Kappa. "Ladies, this is Officer Hemphille. Officer, we are so happy..."

Chanel interrupted. "Excuse me. Where did you find her?"

"Well, I knew we needed a top-notch security company, so I let my fingers do the walkin'. I checked the Yellow Pages. 

A girl named Chanel #3 asks, ""What's that? 

A girl named Chanel #5 also interrupted. "Officer, we're terrified. Okay? Someone just mowed off a deaf girl's head in our backyard."

But Denise Hemphill talked to them. "Well, ladies, you have nothing to be afraid of so long as I'm around. Though-though technically, I'm not a police officer. I mean, as you can see, I'm not licensed to carry a sidearm. I am employed by Secure Enforcement Solutions, which is private contractor hired to work in tandem with campus security. 

"Wait, so you don't have a gun?"

"No, I do not. But I do have... a nightstick, okay? I have pepper spray. And I have a walkie talkie that I can use to call the police, who do have guns. Now, if there is a killer on this campus, Denise Hemphille's gonna make damn sure that everybody in Kappa House is safe and sound until that killer is brought to justice."

After a long conversation, Denise went outside the house and talked to Denise.

"I though you'll never go back to that house..."

"This is my job! Professionalism! Amma professional, okay!"

"Oh, I see. You wanna work there so that you'll be accepted like they never accepted you before."

"Shondell, I was thinking about that. I don't care about myself anymore. All I care is the white girls who hired me, my salary, and those shack burgers you gave me."

"Are you sure? Maybe you'll try to conquer the Kappa and become the house mother?"

"Shondell, here's what I thinked about earlier:

                                               Denise is my name                                                                                                                                                            Security is my game.                                                                                                                                                       Gotta watch these white girls so I can get paid...  "

"Wo-how! Nice song! So, wher'ya off to tonight? See you at Best Buy?"

"No, no. I gotta be somewhere else."

"Where?"

"I'm on patrol, baby!"

Afternoon that day, Shondell went back to Best Buy. She saw Hester and Boone talking to each other, again.

"Hey Hester! Thanks for the news you gave me!"

"Oh, Officer Washton!"

Boone interrupted. "Hey, don't interrupt us."

"Whoa, hold on! Angry gay comin' through!

"Officer, you annoy me. I'm gonna have to kill you."

"Boone, no" Hester whispered.

"Okay, just try. We'll see." Shondell walked out the store.

The store manager yelled at her, "Hey officer! Where are you going?"

"Don't interrupt me when I'm walk-out-ing!" She left.

Hester warned Boone. "Boone, she's a friendly cop. Don't."

"Why the hell do you even care?"

"Because.... she... She's nice! And I want all nice people to live!"

"Yeah, whatever." Boone went outside.
