Somehow Love is Found (BWWM)

Chapter 50: An Unlikely Friendship

We followed her back into the room, where the doctor and some police officers stood. 

One of the officers was holding Octavia's phone.

"We checked the CCTV in the lecture hall. We couldn't identify the perpetrator, they were covered in black," she said.

Of course she was.

I rolled my eyes.

"Is that what you came to tell me? That you can't find the bastard that put my wife in this state? Don't waste my time!" I yelled.

"Leo, I know you're angry, but hear them out," said Mr. Hale.

I sighed.

"Say what you have to."

She nodded.

"Put the tape on," he said, speaking to one of the other officers.

"Yes sir."

He did as he was told and we saw the footage.

Octavia walked into the hall and turned around for a split-second.

They then zoomed in on her hands. 

I smiled.

My smart wife.

She opened an app before tucking her phone into her pocket.

I took the phone away and opened it using my fingerprint.

I can open her phone and she can open mine.

Never thought I'd have a reason to use that liberty.

If my guess was right, she recorded it.

I opened the recorder and accessed the file.

I listened to it first and my hands became fists.

"Is it-" asked Refael.

"Yes," I said.

 That bitch.

She's gonna go to jail for sure.

"Mr. Costas, if that is evidence, we request that you hand it over to us," she said.

I was about to hand the phone over when Refael tapped me.

"Don't," he said, "that woman is on my dad's speed dial. She'll delete it."

I knew Kane Koch was corrupt, but this was a new low.

I'm sure Dinah sent her to lead the investigation, that is, to destroy any evidence.

So faking a smile I turned to her.

"Oh no, no evidence," I lied, transferring the recording to my phone, "just a recording of my baby singing."

She nodded.

"Okay. Well then, we will do the best we can to find the person that did this to Miss Hale."

With that, she and her officers left the room.

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

"Thanks for that man," I said.

It was now evening. The doctor said only two people could stay with her and guess who chose to?

Refael and I.

He nodded grimly.

"It's cool," he said, "thank God you didn't give her that phone. She would've given it to Dinah."

That bitch.

She was trying too hard to cover her tracks. Now that we know that some of the officers were on Kane's pay, going to the police was a no no.

The local police, that was.

"So what are we going to do now?" I asked.

We needed to send this important piece of evidence to the authorities.

Refael smiled.

"I'm gonna call my aunt. She's the judge of the Supreme Court. If we send it to her, she'll be able to inform the relevant authorities."

I eyed him suspiciously.

"Won't she inform Kane of this?" I asked.

"Nah. She and Dad don't see eye to eye. He had her thrown out of their home when he took over the company. Only last year did I get to meet her."

I looked at Octavia. She lay so still.

How I'd love to hear her yell at me.

Or even be lost in her thoughts.

I know that she'll awaken.

I just needed to make her world safer before she does.

"Call her." I said.

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

A few days later, Mr. and Mrs. Hale came to see Octavia.

Refael and I went to go see his aunt.

We couldn't go see her right away because she was out on important business.

It was a one hour drive.

We ate a lot of snacks and just listened to music.

I know it should be weird, getting along with your wife's ex.

But Refael is an agreeable fellow.

I could see why Octavia would even like him.

"Yo, quit staring at me or I'll tell Octy that you're gay," said Refael.

I rolled my eyes.

"Get the fuck over yourself Koch. I don't swing that way."

He laughed.

"The fact that you're saying that, means you're thinking it."

I flipped him off and we both laughed.

"Imagine we're actually getting along," I said.

"Yeah, it should be weird," said Refael.

"But it isn't," we said at the same time.

There was absolute silence after that.

Then Refael spoke.

"Promise me you'll never leave Octy. She's tough as nails, but in the affairs of the heart, she's tender."

I smiled.

"I promise. I didn't take those vows emptily."

He smiled.

"Cause if you did I'd kill you."

I shook my head.

"Let's not talk about killing. Let's talk properly. What are we?" I asked.

"Bruh."

I realized what I said and facepalmed.

"No homo, but are we friends or what?"

He laughed.

"Yeah, we're friends faggot."

I whacked him on the head and we continued our journey.
