Police Officer Redmon: Maureen Raylette Jackson? You are under arrest for embezzlement and fraud.
Police Officer Flagg; Latoya Yvonne Jackson? You are under arrest for Embezzlement and fraud.
Rebbie; What the hell??!! Michael??!! You can’t…Get your hands off of me!!
Latoya; Michael!! Why?? I’m your sister!!!
Michael; YOU ARE A THIEF, YOU ARE A LIAR! YOU ARE A USER! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU TWO HAVE DONE?? DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU ARE SLICK? DID YOU REALLY THINK, I’D TURN A BLINDS EYE TO THIS BECAUSE YOU ARE MY SISTERS? HOW DARE YOU? YOU MADE DAD THINK HE COULDN’T HACK IT ANYMORE!! YOU BOTH ARE DISGUSING! YOU MAKE ME SICK! YOU ARE FIRED AND I WILL PROSECUTE THE BOTH OF YOU!! COUNT ON IT!! Looking at them both with hatred hurt and disgust. Glancing at the officer. Take the trash out, it’s starting to smell.
Rebbie: How dare you!! You can’t do this to me!! I will get even with you and your white bitch whore too!1
Police Officer Redmon; Ma’am lets go. He pulls Rebbie out of office with him
Latoya; I casn’t believe you Michael! Fucking bitch is gonna pay!!! I hate you Michael!!
Police Officer Flagg: Move it.. and pulls her into the hall.
Jackie; Michael, are you sure we should press charges, I –I mean they are our sisters. I realize the money they took and all but, their blood.
Michael; Not to me they aren’t. They are thieves and its them or us. I’d rather not go to jail for a crime I didn’t commit. You want to go to jail for that?? For embezzlement in a federal prison?
Jackie; licks his lips. Well no. Hell no!
Michael; Then they go. I love them but I won’t pick up their mess anymore. Those days were over years ago. They did something very bad and must own up to it.
Jackie; True but.. sighs….your are right. We can’t always clean up their messes and this is a big mess. Turning to April’ Can you help us? I- I mean find out where things really went wrong. All it takes is one number to be off and it ruins everything else that follows.
April; I will do what I can if I can find the discrepancies, I can find how to fix this too. She looks at both men.
Michael; Thank you April’ Bites his lip, Ummm. As for what my sisters said. I-
Jackie; We apologize. That was not right and uncalled for. They were wrong.
April; It’s okay guys I’ve been called worse.
April went back to her desk and began the task of trying to fix the actual numbers. This meant going back to the beginning and it would take her at least 3 weeks and two more to maintain and train someone in case she’s out or leaves or is needed when work levels are high. Michael and Jackie both watched her from across the room impressed at how she juggled the phones, computer and ledgers. Michael and Jackie spoke in low tones so April wouldn’t hear them. Michael never took his eyes off of her.
Jackie: Whispering. Ask her out or I will.
Michael; No. Not yet. We need to get this done first or at least a bit farther.
Jackie; Asking her to dinner isn’t going to delay anything. You are just chicken now.
Michael; I am not. Now drop it.
Jackie. Nope. Looking over at April’ April?
April: glancing up Yes?
Jackie: Michael and I would like to take you to dinner tonight. Would you mind?
April; Looking at both Jackie and Michael., Sure. I’d ‘love to go.
DINNER AT SAMPSON’S………
April; You look very good Michael you too Jackie.
Michael; Thank you. You are very beautiful. Kissing her hand.
Jackie; No, Mike, you got that wrong. April is gorgeous. What say we show my brother how to dance. Winking!
Michael; I know how to dance!
April; Then after I dance with Jackie, I expect a dance with you Michael! Smiling
Michael; you got it pretty lady!
