Trapped (Incomplete)

Case in Progress

Jennifer stood by Alex door waiting for the woman she saw the other day to come out. It was about this time they saw each other the other day.

She scanned her notes card and pushed them back in her pocket. She had planned the entire conversation she wanted to have with this woman. Jennifer recently called Alex and said she forgot her keys and may stop by. She knew Alex would be searching for it and if he happen to be leaving the apartment. She would say she was coming for it.

On the other hand she was dress in yoga wear with a sheets in her duffle bag to help her cover. Her brunette blonde hair was in a bun which helped to show her face more clearly.

Jennifer jog down the hallway and back up but no one came out. On the second attempt she saw the woman coming out when she came to a halt at the Alex door.

"Good morning " Jennifer said

"Do i know you" was the woman's reply.

'So much for a formal
introduction Jennifer thought to herself.'

" I was the girl staring at you awkwardly the other day" .

"Yes now i remember, You must be one of my neighbors"

"  No i'm not actually I'm dating Alex "

" Alex ? " Sasha looked confused.

" Yes he lives on your floor"

"Oh I'm new to this floor, I'm Sasha Walcott"

"Hi Josselyn Shaw"

"So yoga, how is that " Sasha said trying to make conversation.

"What? "

"Yoga isn't that  what your about to do "

"Oh yes, it's like a second skin for me" Josselyn said rubbing her hand over her suit which after a little thought must look weird to Sasha.

" how is it "

"Very fun, a friend of mine introduce me to it and it changed my life ever since"

"Really I've been meaning to get out more " .

"You should try it guarantee
it will work wonders"

"It's just you and the mat" .

"yea why don't you come with me one day this week. Maybe it'll do you some good"

"Sure why not "

Terley's at work

He sat down at his desk with the one case he had left to solve. The pages gave nothing that he didn't already know . The food stains on the ears of most of the pages was the only new addition to the case which he studied from front to back.  The stains only let persons know he like curry a lot, the type that the Jamaican Store sold down the street.

The only thing that was bugging him was that the scene looked too perfect. Almost unsolvable . The thief trashed the apartment and beat the wife senseless. Why didn't he just knock her out and run. There's something that one of the spouse weren't telling him. It doesn't explain why the husband was home a couple minutes after the wife allegedly went home sick. Could it all of it been staged. If it was what were they hiding.

Well right now he wasn't going to find any thing

*********************************

Knocking had become a constant annoyance for Kenneth. He looked up as he said "come in" to see who it was. He wasn't quite surprise that it was the  detective who was assigned to the case showing up at his work place.

" Detective Terley its good to see you, good news i hope "

"Like wise Mr. Walcott" as he took off his coat and placed it on the back of his chair.

"So where are you with the case"

"I just have a few question"

"Okay let's hear them" .

"Do you think you know anyone that might have done it"

"Yes i do, a lawyer like me doesn't win cases and don't make enemies. Kenny reach into a folder on his desk. "Here ", he said handing terley a piece of paper.

"Whats this"

"A list of name of persons who may have done it. "

" It's typed"

"Yea i had some free time since my wife was in the hospital"

"I thought you would of used that time to say by her side"

"She would have wanted me to go back to work"

"I see"

"Is there something you want to say Detective"

"Nothing at all, I'm just finding a lot of holes in this case"

"Isn't it your job to fix that and find the culprit"

"It's come to my attention that you wife can't hold a job for more than a few weeks. This current one is longer than usual"

"I got that job for her she loves writing"

"Do you think she may have credit enemies at her new work place"

"Sasha wouldn't hurt a fly"

"Are you about that ? "

"Yes im sure "

"Then why cant she hold a steady job, not smart enough or a little bad tempered " 

"You shut your mouth " kenny shouted

"your arm its cut isn't it"

"Wha- t oh Yes "

"How did that happen "

"Like i said before my wife was holding on to a piece of glass when i found her.

"How did the bathroom door break"

"I place her in the bathroom and told her to close it behind me i didn't know if the intruder was gone." He paused for a second then continued " after i checked i came back to the bathroom to get her but i didn't hear her. So i had to break down the door to get to her."

"Okay last question "

You told the police officers that you call them ' but your phone didn't show any call like that made during that time."

" There wasn't, i used the house phone "

"All the house phone call were cut"

"Well i guess the neighbors may have called it in, things happened so fast that day , i don't really remember "

"I'd have to check into that "

"Well you do that,  i think we all have God to thank  that those cops showed up when they did"

"Yes thank God"
