Ordinary Life

Back to Work...

August 17, 2014

I spent 2 and a half days with my love. It's sad that we had to end our little fun fest, but it's time for me to go back to work.

When I walked down the aisle, everyone was looking at me, disgusted and disappointed. They shook their heads and whispered amongst each other.

I pulled my keys out and before I could even put it in the lock, Justin called me. "Genevieve, meet me in the board room please. Right now." He said. I walked the same route I came and followed Justin.

When I entered the room, Justin, Chief Spencer, and board members were all sitting at the table. "What's going on?" I asked. "Genevieve...have a seat." Chief Spencer said.

I set my things on the table and took a seat. "Genevieve, we've called you in this morning to express some...thoughts of your behavior for the past couple of months. A video was submitted to me on Friday, of you doing...unprofessional things." My heart began to race. "Play the video Justin." The chief said.

On the great big flat screen television, was a video of me and Bruno having sex, oral included. The first time, to be exact. The view of the video, I was mostly seen in it. My breast, buttocks and everything was exposed on that video. I wanted to look away, but I couldn't.

"As disturbing as this is, we have more footage of you having sexual intercourse with Mr. Hernandez. We also have this video." Justin changed the video and played it.

It was a video when Bruno and I were laying on the couch and I told him about my work. Our whole conversation was recorded.

B: "Is something bothering you?"

G: "Yeah, my job, the position, the case. I want to crack the case, but I can't do it if fucking Justin is pushing me back. The chief doesn't do a fucking thing. It's bullshit. And waiting is too much anticipation on my part, I just want to work and get it over with."

B: "Do you ever tell them how you feel?"

G: "I've tried, but they don't listen. But if I told them hey, I'm sleeping with the witness they'd fucking fire me on the spot."

I couldn't defend myself. I had nothing to say. "Who sent in that video?" I asked. "Bruno himself did." Justin said. Security walked inside preparing to escort me out."Why? Why are you doing this to me?" I said in a whisper. "It's protocol. Genevieve, I'm sorry, but you being sexually intimate with Bruno, can strongly affect this case. How do we know that the things he's telling us is a lie? You aren't trying to solve the case, you're trying to manipulate it. I'm forced to fire you for what you did. We will send people to give you your things, but you need to leave the premises." Chief Spencer said.

I was livid, I was sad. I had so many emotions running through my mind right now, I couldn't even explain. "Let go of me." I slipped out of the security's grip. "You reap what you sow. I will find the killers, and when I do, you'll be begging me to come back. You don't know what I know already. Mock my words."

"Okay, Ms. time to go." The security grabbed my arms, and I yanked them away from him. "I can escort myself out."

I walked out of the board room, and walked down the aisle. I saw Charlie and Faith standing along the walls. "Eve, I'm so sorry." Charlie said. I stopped. "You two knew about this?" They looked at each other, then at me. I scoffed, "...and to think you're my friends."

"Eve, we didn't know how to approach you about it." Faith added. "You two...can go fuck yourselves. Matter of fact, burn in hell. I don't need you. Friends would have at least gave me a heads up. I guess friends are only around when times are good." I walked away from them and left the premises.

But the real pain was soon to come, when I have to approach someone I trusted. Someone I loved.

Bruno Hernandez.
