So What? I love a cop. (sequel to Cop loving me? code 10-0)

Chapter 28

Wayne and I were in our room getting ready for bed. We were undressing.

I decided to ask him. "So what you think of Byron and Jenecia?"

He was taking off his pants and looked up at me. "What about them?"

I rolled my eyes and had my hands on my hips.

"Really? You always know everything." I said sarcastically and got into bed and under the covers.

He narrowed his eyes and joined me, "of course I know things."

"Then why didn't you notice the tension between Jenecia and Byron?" I asked.

He frowned but then smiled, "I noticed love. It ain't my business. I ain't nosey like you."

I glared at him, "I ain't nosey."

"Yeah right." I was about to argue but he gave me a kiss goodnight and turned over, he switchwd off the light and fell asleep.

I ain't getting any tonight? Oh well I turned over and tried to sleep but couldn't.  I got out of bed and grabbed a cigarette, lighter and my phone.

I sat outside on a chair and lit my cigarette and noticed Byron's truck Passing. It was coming from the direction of Jenecia's house.

Oh! Okay!

I took a drag of my cigarette and my thoughts went to Susannah.

What did you get yourself into? She was a woman of money. The woman was definitely in the closet.

Then there's Melanie. She knew Susannah.

I gotta get into contact with her.

Where my thoughts were going I'ma need to get into contact with her. She's the one I need to talk to.

Thinking about this I know no one would want me to meet with her. Especially knowing she shot that guy. From what I know. He was the one who killed Susannah and shot Roy and me.

I need to talk to Melanie before he finds her cause he ran away from the hospital.

He is looking for her.

I need to find her first. I'm lucky I'm off this week from work. I gotta look at Wayne's work schedule.

I'ma be in big shit for this but I gotta do this. I reached for my phone and dialed the number I didn't want to.

The familiar gruff voice answers, " hello Licia."

"Michael. I need your help."

~~~
I was looking at Wayne and knew I was going to be on big shit after today. Beau, Roy and the rest of the guys didn't know what I was doing today.

Michael called and said they have the 'package' I needed.

So today is the day.

Wayne was busy getting ready for work and it was as if he sensed something wasn't right.

His brow rose and he asked, "everything okay?"

I nodded he then continued, "then why you so quiet?" He approached me and gave me this look that was supposed to intimidate me.

"What are you up to? He asked.

I frowned, "nothing."

"You sure?"

"Yes. " I answered.

He looked at me with narrowed eyes and made his way to his truck.

"I'm  going to make a turn later. See if everything is okay." He informed me.

"Okay." I replied. What he doesn't know is I had arranged something that would keep him very busy at work tonight.

It was an hour since Wayne left. I got into my car and drove to the destination where the other car was parked. I parked my car. I reached for the keys in my pocket and got out of my car and locked the car. I walked over to the other car and unlocked it and got in, started the car and drove off.

Once I finally reached the house  I got out and whistled the familiar tune for the two guys standing outside. They nodded and I closed the door.

The one guy said, "she's inside be careful. Bitch is crazy."

He walked and opened the door. He let me in and inside Melanie was sitting on a chair all tied up.

I looked at the guy and he said, "It was needed. You'll see for yourself."

I sat on the chair opposite of her and greeted her.

"Hey Melanie."

She glared at me and wanted to spit at me. I got up but the guy she stopped me and covered her mouth with his hand. He took his hand and smeared her spit all over her face and hair.

Damn these guys are nasty.

She started shaking and screamed a high pitched scream. I hope he don't slap her. He didn't.

We waited and she must've realised it was of no use and calmed down.

I looked at her and asked, "You done?"

She lifted her shoulders and sighed, but didn't say anything.

"Okay. Well Melanie. I'm sorry things had to go down like this but I needed to talk to you. About Susannah."

She looked surprised, "You knew Susannah?"

I frowned, "yes my friend and I found her body."

"And y'all were shot too." It sounded more like a statement than an question.

I nodded.

She sighed, "I'll tell you everything but I need to know that I'll be safe. My life is already in danger."

"You'll be taken care of but from what I know. Some of its your own fault. I was there when you shot that guy."

She smiled, "yeah that was nice. But unfortunately he's after me now."

She shook her head, "I don't know his name. It was never mentioned. The boss always called him personally."

"Your boss being Director Reynolds?" I asked.

"Yeah the wonderful director Reynolds." She said sarcastically.

"There's more that meets the eye with Director Reynolds? I asked.

"Of course that whole goddamn family. They're all a front. Only persron real in that family is poor old Dinah. Shame poor girl. Trainwreck." She smiled.

" I saw you that Sunday at Susannah's grave. How you know Susannah?"  I asked.

She looked upset, "I met Susannah at a lesbian night at a club in the city.  We dated but didn't work out but we stayed friends. We grew close and I knew she wasn't out. I encouraged her to come out but she didn't and I understood. I knew what was going on in her life. She told me everything."

"So you knew who she was seeing?" I asked.

She looked at me and nodded, "yeah she was seeing Director Reynolds daughter, Beulah Reynolds.
