Mafia King & Model Queen

Chapter Eight

Luke looked at her and opened the door and saw Detective Reagan standing there.

"Hey Ben," Luke said.

"Hey Luke, mind if I come in?" Ben asked.

"Baby?" Luke asked.

"Come in," Karly said.

"This is Karly, my girlfriend and she's my queen as of tonight at the ceremony," Luke said.

"So you are Detective Reagan and his friend," Karly said.

"Yes I am," Ben said.

"You are here because of Amber," Karly said.

"Yes I am," Ben said. Luke closed the door and they sat down.

"Drew and Sam told me what happened, that she came at you and you felt threatened so you grabbed Luke's gun and shot her in the shoulder and she kept coming and you fired and hit her in the heart," Ben said.

"Yes," Karly said.

"Did she have a weapon?" Ben asked.

"She had a knife," Luke said.

"And where were you, Luke?" Ben asked.

"I was there, but it happened so fast, I know Karly is capable of using a gun because she was going to the gun range with her brothers and their grandfather when they were growing up so she can protect herself," Luke said.

"All I did was defend myself, all I had access to was Luke's gun, I did what I had to do, she had that look in her eyes," Karly said.

"She wanted to kill you, she had that look in her eyes?" Ben asked.

"Yes, she was calling Karly a fucking bitch, said she wants to kill Karly because Amber thought she was going to be queen but I never said anything about her being queen," Luke said.

"So she thought if she killed Karly, she would become queen?" Ben asked.

"Probably which would never happen because I would have killed her or had her thrown in jail," Luke said.

"Please tell me that I won't go to jail for this," Karly said.

"From what Drew and Sam told me and what you said, it's clearly self defense, I'm on my way to tell her parents," Ben said.

"Karly had an idea about them, she thought we would hide the fact that she's dead and turn off the location on Amber's cell phone and Karly would pretend to be Amber and text her parents and tell them that she met a guy at the ceremony and left town with him and travel the world and will be out of touch and she will check in once in awhile," Luke said.

"No need to do that if the body is in the morgue at the hospital," Ben said.

"It was an idea before Luke decided to be truthful, I was scared that no one would believe me when I said it was self defense because it was," Karly said.

"Luke, where's the knife?" Ben asked.

"Turns out that the knife was a fake knife, it looked so real but it was a toy knife that looks real," Luke said.

"It looked so real," Karly said.

"I will need it if you have it," Ben said.

"It must have gotten misplaced when Drew and Sam came to take her to the hospital," Luke said.

"Okay Luke, tell me the truth," Ben said.

"I shot her in the cell at his parents house okay, she called me a bitch and she disrespected me and Luke so I shot her, there was no knife," Karly said.

"Karly," Luke said.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you my reason behind the whole thing," Karly said.

"Try me," Ben said.

"Before I met Luke, I dated this guy, Jason, he was abusive, I was afraid to leave him because of what he would do, so one night, he beat me unconscious, my brothers found me and took me to the hospital," Karly said.

"I know about that, Karly, I read the case file from what your brothers said and the medical report from the hospital, you were in a coma for two weeks," Ben said.

"Yes, when I was in the coma, I had this dream that I met Luke, my dad had a will that me and my brothers had to get married by a certain date or we would lose 300 billion dollars," Karly said.

"Whoa," Ben said.

"I know, anyways in my dream, Luke and I got engaged and the night of the ceremony, I was talking to his parents and Amber overheard me say something about being queen and she got all upset and angry and Barbara told her to leave, after the ceremony, we heard a gunshot and Hayley yelled and we saw Barbara on the ground, she had gotten shot in the stomach, I saw Austin and Eric holding Amber, she came with the intention of killing me but my brothers tried to stop her and she shot Barbara instead," Karly said.

"So you thought it would happen tonight," Ben said.

"Many things in my dream have been coming true, me and Luke together, Austin having a girlfriend named Abby, in my dream she became his wife, Eric having a crush on Hayley," Karly said.

"He's got a crush on my sister?" Luke asked.

"Yeah, anyways Amber did come to the ceremony tonight thinking she would be queen," Karly said.

"Karly, I believe you, okay, I'm going to go tell her parents that it was self defense, the truth will stay between us," Ben said.

"Really?" Karly asked.

"Luke saved my life countless times, I owe him my life, I will protect the truth," Ben said.

"Thank you," Karly said.

"She's pregnant, Ben, with my child," Luke said.

"Congratulations, you two, another reason to keep the truth, prison is no place for a pregnant lady," Ben said.

"Thank you Detective," Karly said.

"Call me Ben, Karly, I consider Luke a brother, we are friends because we also grew up together," Ben said.

"He became a cop so I would have a friend on the force," Luke said.

"Okay Ben," Karly said.

"I'll call you once I have told them," Ben said.

"Okay man, Karly and I are going house hunting tomorrow," Luke said.

"Okay bye you two," Ben said. He left and Luke locked up and they went to the bedroom and got ready for bed. He stripped to his boxer and she changed to her pjs and they got into bed and went to sleep.
